What extracurricular programs does Rockway Mennonite Collegiate offer?  Music, drama, visual arts and sports!  

　　At Rockway, we open the world to our students through our teaching, and that often takes our learning outside of the classroom. An Ecology lesson can find students wading into the Grand River to take water samples. 

　　But the full Rockway experience includes its diverse and outstanding extracurricular programs as well.
