Congratulations to Dylan Bailey (Year 9), Bastion Finkel (Year 8) and James Mouton (Year 10) who recently competed in the National Sports Climbing Competition in Queensland, which spanned two training days and four competition days. These students are all squad members of Mandurah Indoor Rockclimbing.

The climbers competed against top-level athletes from New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland, South Australia, Western Australia, and Tasmania. 

Additionally, beyond the climbing aspect, this competition provided valuable lessons in time management, discipline, resilience, social skills, teamwork, and sportsmanship.
