Dunedin writer, and parent one of our Year 13 students, Jilly O'Brien wrote the above for "our rowers, our Y13 students, for all our girls".  It celebrates how wonderful our young people are, how hard they work and how proud of them we all are.  Saskia Klinkenberg was the photographer and is also one of the coaches of the Columba rowing team.  The Columba rowing team compete at the New Zealand Secondary School Rowing Championships in the coming week. Thank you, Jilly and Saskia, for this tribute.
