To celebrate "Chinese-Dragon Boat Festival" at Columba College, Year 5 students had a 端午节duān wǔ jié workshop, where they made “Paper Dragon Boats” and “Paper Sticky Rice Dumplings”.

The wooden boats are shaped and decorated in the form of a Chinese dragon. The boat size varies by region. Generally it is about 20–35 meters in length and needs 30–60 people to paddle it. During the races, dragon boat teams paddle harmoniously and quickly, accompanied by the sound of beating drums. It is said that the winning team will have good luck and a happy life in the following year.
