public schools association head of the river rowing regatta

1996 PSA Head of the River

The regatta was conducted on Saturday 23rd March on the Canning Bridge course. The temperature for the regatta was on average 20.5 degree Celsius (68.9 degree Fahrenheit).

It was a landmark regatta for Trinity College winning the Challenge Cup which ended a 28-year drought. The race was narrowly won, leading Scotch College over the line by a mere fifth of a second. The win for Trinity was part of a long-development plan according to a report by Australian Rowing (June 1996): 

“For Xouris (head coach for Trinity) it was the end of a three-year plan to raise the standard of the school to a stage when they could successfully challenge the trophy after finishing second to Aquinas in the previous two years.”

Hamer Cup

The Hamer Cup is awarded to the school with the highest aggregate points across all events at the Head of the River regatta.

The winning school was Aquinas College with Scotch College second and Trinity College third.
