Challenge classes emphasize Murdoch Middle School’s outcomes of effective communication and problem solving. While competition is undeniably a key component of sport, Challenge classes emphasize team work and reflection during all activities. Students are exposed to a wide variety of sports and team building activities requiring them to think outside of the box, and to become effective problem solvers and communicators. Students will, by repetitive practice, acquire and refine a variety of manipulative loco-motor and non-locomotor movement skills, and will utilize principles of training and conditioning. Students will learn biomechanics and exercise physiology, and will apply the concept of wellness to their lives.

The Common Room provides a spacious, bright, open indoor area. The parking lot is adequate for outdoor sporting and team building challenges. Last year the school installed an indoor climbing wall and hopes to develop an outdoor ropes course in the near future.
