As we enter the last few weeks of term, girls tend to be less organised with kit and belongings, leaving things around the house. Please encourage your daughters to look after their things. All lockers and studies should be empty by Friday, 27th June with only the items needed for activities week being brought in on the last week.

Durham Regatta

Congratulations to all those girls who competed at Durham Regatta last weekend. It was a successful weekend for DSBC with some fantastic wins across the board. On Saturday, Sophie H, Ellie H, and Annabelle T were part of the victorious Women's J15 Octo, delivering a strong performance to secure the win. Continuing the momentum into Sunday, Olivia T impressed in the Women's Non-Championship Single, rowing to a well-deserved victory. Dana performed well racing up an age group in the singles on Saturday and I the Octo on Sunday. A brilliant showing from all the athletes involved!
