「登高山、領證書」是康橋六年級生在畢業前夕的傳統活動。學校帶領學生進行了長達9個月的體能訓練，包括有假日戶外短、中、長程的6次實地山訓，加強心肺功能長跑練習，和增強肌耐力的登階負重等，同時也建立起學生對於高山的知識，於校內舉辦高山症預防講座和登山技巧指導，讓學生擁有充足準備的身心靈，增強自己的正面能量，勇往直前，期望這趟圓夢之旅將讓所有的孩子都能有個不一樣的體驗及學習。

Pain and Success On Snow Mountain

Do you like being in pain? If you do, climbing Snow Mountain is just the right activity for you! The eighth graders were required to climb Snow Mountain (Xueshan) for three days. Snow Mountain is the second highest mountain in Taiwan and in East Asia. It is 3,886 meters above sea level.
One of the benefits of climbing Snow Mountain is that the students got to interact with nature. They usually have a lot of homework and don’t get to move around and exercise so the climb was good for them. Another benefit is that they got to bond with and work together with their classmates. Climbing the mountain required a lot of team work.
One of the drawbacks of climbing the mountain was that many people got mountain sickness. Some of the symptoms of mountain sickness are throwing up, dizziness, and headaches.
