Craighead Diocesan School rowing crews train from the Timaru Rowing Club facilities at Saltwater Creek, Timaru. The rowing group has run since 1997 and is affiliated to the Timaru Rowing Club, which is its official link to Rowing New Zealand.
Crews are made up of girls from the school. Training takes place after school and early in the morning, and crews race at regattas from September to April, with training camps and regattas held at weekends during Terms 1 and 4. The group owns 10 rowing boats, 2 chase boats, a boat trailer and 7 ergs in association with the school.
