Success at Head of the Harbour: Auckland Secondary School Rowing Championships

The school sent a full squad of rowers across all age ranges to this competition.

The Regatta proved to be successful with a total of six medals won in both boys’ and girls’ events. Notable results came from Harry Newbury-Lee and Heath Shepherd who both produced a silver and bronze performance, respectively.
