The girls school team with their trophies
Being in the ACJC Canoeing Team for the past one and a half years has certainly been a memorable one. Most of us started out with no prior experience. As a result of that, we spent many days swimming instead of training. It was most certainly tiring to deal with the rigorous of the training programme. However, with the tenets of perseverance and tenacity close to our hearts, we pushed on.

It is through our hardships and our struggles as one that binds us together forever. It is this pride and faith that we have in each other which allows us to stand tall amidst tough opposition. This is what makes us AC Dragons.
The K4 boys
The AC Canoeing and Dragonboat team of 2009 has come a long way, and it would have not been possible without the support of our teachers-in-charge, Ms Zhu Baojin, Mr Daniel Sun and Mr Chan Poh Sing. A big thank you also goes out to all our coaches, Shaun Ho, Amanda Nio, Margy, Desmond Chng and Suzanne Seah. We would also like to acknowledge the efforts of the Students' Council who cheered for us during our finals. The rest of the school who kept us in your thoughts and prayers are not forgotten too. Last but not least, we would like to thank our Principal, Mrs Kelvyna Chan, our Vice-Principal, Mrs Jenny Ng and PE HOD Mr Mark Ng for all your constant support. Thank you all for making this journey an unforgettable one.
As always, to God Be the Glory, the Best Is Yet to Be.
