 The SGHS section was named the "Margaret Varady Rowing Facility" in honour of the contribution made by the former principal towards schoolgirl rowing, including having been instrumental with Clarke in securing the land and funding for the new boathouse.The club's old boathouse still stands and was from 2009 to 2017 on loan to the Sydney University Boat Club whose own Linley Point shed was destroyed by fire in 2006.The UNSW Rowing Club has boated crews at the Australian Universities Championships since 1956.
