A highlight of the Secondary One LifeSkills camp is the long-held tradition of Dragon Boating. An apt activity for team bonding, this is an initiation into the secondary school life. The Dragon Boating experience enables our young students to discover how, together with their classmates, they move out of their comfort zone and overcome what may appear at first as a challenging and daunting task. This experience establishes their embarkation on a journey of learning to meet challenges with confidence.

Shen Xi Ran from S1-11 shares her thoughts on her experience below:

Like our seniors before us, all students in secondary one got to experience Dragon Boating with our classmates. To promote class spirit, we used markers to write our class on our hands and faces and we enjoyed the process of readying ourselves for the task of boating. After boarding the boats, we tried rowing and practised for a while. It was a treat to have also had the opportunity of spotting some otters nearby! We then had a race! My class, 1-11 rallied and put in our utmost and won! Dragon boating was exciting and it was fun to have had our principal and vice-principals row alongside us!
