Rowing - this takes place on the Union Canal. The GHSRC boathouse is located off of Colinton Road near Meggetland Sports Pavilion. S2 pupils get an introduction to rowing and rowing training, both on and off of the water ahead of the S3 games options. Numbers in Rowing are capped to maintain a safe environment. Pupils who miss out will also have the option to attend extra-curricular recreational rowing to try, learn or row recreationally.
Our Sailing games option takes place in partnership with Port Edgar Watersports, who run the sailing school at Port Edgar. A 30-40 minute minibus ride from school takes us to South Queensferry, arriving back at Heriot’s between 6.30 and 7pm depending on traffic. You will learn about how a boat interacts with and makes use of the simple power of the wind to go where you point it. You will learn teamwork, as most of the sailing is done in double-handed boats. You will learn how to be safe on the water, and how to get the boat sailing again if you capsize.
Tennis has an additional practice on Wednesdays after school as well as the opportunity to play in midweek and weekend matches.
