This past weekend was the Chinese Bicentennial Regatta, the last regatta for the year.
Of course the girls did not disappoint, even-thought the competition is becoming more and more difficult, BA dragons always seem to pull it off, those races were very close, especially the finals. The girls know how much work is to be done in the "off season" for the up coming year, as four major team members have now left the team, as they are no longer 'Bishops Girls'. Aniya Clement (Captain), Shari Parsons (Vice- Captain), Makeda Ferguson and Nicolar Rosalis, they will all be truly missed, best of luck to them in their future endeavors.
It has, once again, been a great year for the BA Dragons as we took on a new country, Canada which we always came away Victorious.
We continue to ask God for his continuous guidance as we take on other tasks, and continue to grow & become a stronger team.
We always ask for your continuous support as we go along these parts.

-High Serria Inter-School Regatta (2011, 2013, 2014)

These Late updates, I know, Very Sorry!
Last weekend B.A Dragons took to Tobago for Tobago's Regatta.

IT was an amazing experience for the first times, even-though the team was faced with many challenges. We pulled through it all and got through the weekend Victorious.

We had 3 teams, A, B&C. All teams did an amazing job and made the seniors, coach & teachers very proud & shock! They held up with the seniors & other team whom were more experienced than they were for most of the races, But at the end of the day, Team A & B made it to the Finals against SJC. We brought home a Gold and Bronze to our name.
So proud of our juniors, they proved that they will live up to the stand of the BA Dragons and carry this team very well when the seniors are gone.

Will like to send special Thanks to Adam who helms for us, we appreciate it greatly! :)
Thanks to all the supporters, the parents & families who came across. The teachers who had to put up with all the drama and everything that did not go as planned. We are so grateful to you all.
Also to our coaches Uncle Keith, who unfortunately couldn't be on the actual boat with us but was very close by driving us on and Earlin Stanford who always drives us on and encouraging us and getting us to give the best & everything we can give in our races. Thank you all again, another regatta , another win!

Canada here we come!
