It’s graduation season, and to make their last days unforgettable, Kaohsiung’s Chung Shan Industrial and Commercial School hosts an endurance course every year for graduating seniors. Students must get through 10 grueling obstacles, putting their teamwork and bravery to the test. Even the principal and teachers try their hand at the challenge, although they admit it’s exhausting.

Students swarm up a ramp, using ropes to pull themselves to the top before sliding down the other side.

Juniors spray them with water as they cheer on the seniors. Next up is the net crawl.

They also have to navigate a balance beam. But the hardest is this obstacle.

Students on the ground help their classmate balance on top of a massive hay bale as they roll it forward. It’s easy to lose your footing.

Who came up with this graduation event? It’s like basic military training!

The hardest obstacle to me is that one over there where you have to crawl. When I pulled myself up from the water, I felt like I was going to faint. But hearing everyone shouting kept me going.

I was so nervous, but also really happy and excited! It’s my first time doing anything like this.

Once they leave, the real world isn’t going to be as smooth as it was at school. They’ll face many obstacles. Learning how to cooperate and help each other is a vital skill they’ll need to learn after leaving school. We hope this event will remind them of that.

Kaohsiung’s Chung Shan Industrial and Commercial School hosts this endurance course for graduating seniors every year. This year, the eight obstacles have been increased to 10, making the course more challenging. Even still, every senior poured their heart into crossing the finish line. The teachers also joined in the fun. The principal even fell off the balance beam!

- I’m so tired, I can’t even catch my breath! Doing this kind of intense activity is honestly draining.

The entire school rallied together to conquer this rite of passage, sending these grads off armed with the courage they’ll need to meet life’s challenges.
