Environmental Recreation

On Friday the 1st of September 2023, the Year 10 Environmental Recreation class met at Watergardens train station to travel to the city for rock climbing at Hard Rock in the CBD accompanied by Mr Page.

It was quite daunting at first looking up at the height of the walls to climb. Our instructor took us through the process of the figure 8 knot tie and the correct way to wear the harness.

Teamwork is essential for rock climbing and as we started in pairs and 3’s reliance and trust became evident on your team members.

As confidence grew some of the team scaled the entire walls. Rock climbing is tiring and requires total concentration.

After a few hours we were ready for lunch. We walked to Melbourne Central, had some free time and caught the train back to Watergardens train station.  Thanks Mr Page.
