The selection follows months of hard work and dedication after the SA Schools Championship in March, with the girls training consistently in preparation for the National Selection Regatta held on 8–9 May. Their performances at the regatta saw them achieve the required prognostics set out by the International Commission.

The school also congratulates Head of Rowing, Jamie Croly, who has been selected as a coach for the national team.
