  • Grade 11 Personal Fitness Climbs to New Levels

    By Denise Steadman
    Earlier this week, the Grade 11 Personal Fitness class travelled to Of Rock and Chalk in Newmarket to use their rock climbing gym. Everyone had a great time testing their skills on walls of varying difficulty levels. 

    We all started on the easier wall, building confidence, then moved straight to the more challenging walls. It was exciting to see classmates encouraging each other and celebrating every successful climb. 

    The group enjoyed the physical challenge and the sense of accomplishment that came with reaching the top of the walls and ladder. Overall, it was a fun and rewarding experience that left everyone feeling excited to go again!
