Secondary One Dragon Boating Experience

20 January

This year, Secondary One students took on the

challenge of coming together in their respective classesto pick up Dragonboating. For many, it was their first

time and hence, a truly memorable experience. Our

Secondary Ones learnt many valuable lessons onteamwork as their instructors motivated them in a

friendly race against each other. Everyone had great

fun splashing in the sun and getting drenched! Nothing- not even a slight afternoon drizzle at the end - could

dampen their spirits!
