On Sunday 15th March, the shores of Lake Pupuke were once again the stage for our annual Dragon Boat Championships. An event filled with excitement, teamwork, and determination. This year, conditions were far from ideal, with strong winds creating choppy water and making racing especially tough for all crews.

A huge congratulations to all the students who competed. Your effort and attitude in such difficult conditions were outstanding.

A massive thank you to the Auckland Dragon Boating Association for making this regatta possible. Your support through providing boats, organising training days, and offering ongoing guidance to all teams leading up to the event was invaluable.

Race results and photos from the event are now available on the College Sport Auckland website.
