Prep School pupils had the opportunity to compete in house rowing this week – though not on water.  The ergometers (ergos) were brought out to the Paddock: these machines simulate rowing but can also measure pupil performance as well as provide a great workout.  Teams of four took to the ergos, racing against each other to see which House could compete to cover 1,500m in the fastest time.
