Orienteering

Orienteering is a fun, competitive sport that combines physical and mental challenges and rewards competitors with a unique adventure. Students use maps to select routes and navigate through diverse and often unfamiliar terrain and visit control points in sequence.

Events

Five races are held at schools around the North Shore.

There is one zone day that is held on the north shore each year. This is an event perfect for beginners.

Both events are a lot of fun and will be advertised in the daily notices and on the Year 7 and Year 8 Google Classrooms.

Sport Fees

These are based on the previous year and are subject to change.
