Hey Saints! Did you know that there’s a rock-climbing gym just a few kilometres away from our school? Join the Rock climbing club and you can come climbing after school every Thursday. There are plenty of walls to climb for athletes of all ability levels. It’s a great way to build muscle without ever having to lift weights and it’s so much fun to climb with your friends. Come one, come all.
When we meet
The club runs Fridays from 2:30-4:00.
