Our National Championship Adventure
The air crackled with nervous excitement at the inaugural National Primary Schools Sports Climbing Championship held at Xinmin Secondary School on 17 May 2024. This wasn’t just any competition; it was a culmination of months of dedication, perseverance, and a whole lot of fun for our young climbers.
Our journey began with a simple question: “Who wants to go for a Rock Climbing Competition?” From tentative first steps on the climbing wall to conquering challenging routes, our team grew not just in skill but in confidence and camaraderie. Training sessions became a highlight of the week, filled with laughter, encouragement, and the occasional (safe!) tumble.
Overcoming Obstacles:
There were challenges, of course. Frustration at a particularly tricky hold, aching muscles from continuous climbing, and the occasional self-doubt. Through it all, our students and team supported each other, pushing each other to reach new heights! At the end of the day, our students tackled the challenge of climbing high, learning to manage their fear and believe in their own ability in the process!
We are so proud of our students conquering a new wall, setting their personal best every training. After the trainings, we celebrated their hard work and effort with their favourite ice cream!
Game Day!
The big day finally arrived, and the energy at the competition was electric. Our team, clad in their climbing gear, exuded a mix of nervousness and excitement. We were proud to see all their hard work come to fruition.
Everyone achieved a Bronze award and was awarded with a NPSSCC badge. More importantly, everyone emerged with a newfound sense of accomplishment!
A Huge Thank You to Our Sponsors & Partners!
