Great River Race 2024
Great River Race 2024 – keeping up the tradition!
Two DSL boats, the ‘Berlin’ and the ‘Friends’, took part in the Great River Race on 21 September. This internationally renowned boat race takes the rowers along many London landmarks on a route of approx. 34 km from the Isle of Dogs to the finish line at Ham House in the immediate vicinity of the school. Since 10 years now, Year 12 students have the opportunity to prepare for this unique experience and to represent the school on race day. This year, the school community eagerly awaited the arrival of our rowing teams at the DSL stall, which was stocked with sweet and savoury treats. In the end, the huge achievement was celebrated together – because at the end of the day, we are all in one boat at the DSL!
