  • The Victorian Head of the Schoolgirls regatta is contested between girls at schools from all across the state of Victoria Australia. Schools from the Girls Sport Victoria (GSV) and also Associated Public Schools of Victoria (APS), as well as smaller school rowing groups which enter under a rowing club banner, compete in a range of events over 1000m for the Year 9 and Year 10 events or 1500m for the Open events (typically girls in years 11 and 12). Whereas in most rowing, coxswains can be of either sex, in the HOSG all coxswains must be female and attend the same school as the rowers of the crew that they are coxing. The racing is usually held over an entire weekend (Friday, Saturday & Sunday) in mid-March on the Barwon River in Geelong. In 2022 the regatta was held on the third weekend of March, with all event heats on Friday the 18th, all repechages, all quarter-finals (for events with over 16 entries) and most semi-finals (for events with 16 entries or less) on Saturday the 19th and remaining semi-finals (for events with over 16 entries) and all finals on Sunday the 20th. Head of the Schoolgirls is the largest single sex regatta in the southern hemisphere, with races starting every 3 minutes over the 3 days. In 2021, over 2100 girls participated in 51 events. In order to keep the regatta within a reasonable time frame and prevent large schools inundating the divisions of the smaller boats (eg. single sculls), girls are only permitted to race in one event over the weekend.
