ST VERONICA'S AMONGST THE HONOURS IN THE ROSSENDALE SSP GAMES!
The St Veronica’s stair climbing challenge is a brilliant way to keep fit even when the weather is poor. The idea behind the challenge is to accomplish climbing some well-known feet’s such as Snowdon, Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike, or even all three and the Three Peak Challenge, on to Kilimanjaro and finally Everest!

There is a PDF, below the results, which can be printed out at home for all of the children that have taken part over the last half term.
