ACT Schools have gone wild over orienteering this spring, keeping OACT coaches very busy!!
Wild running combined with wild socks were par for the course for Year 3 girls from Canberra Girls Grammar’s HERO program recently as they navigated Weston Park. With the grass growing before our very eyes, some quick thinking and creative suggestions resulted in a fun filled candy-cane like scene in the park.
It has also been great having several schools from the ACT participating in the development of a new national schools coaching curriculum for orienteering. Many thanks to Year 3/4 students at St Jude’s School at Holder, Year 5/6 at Charles Weston Primary and Year 7 at Melba Copland Secondary School for going o’ing with us.
Plenty of fun had all round!
If you, or your school or children, would like some orienteering fun on the run at your school, contact us now to find out how.
(And if you want your school to be eligible for Sporting Schools funding for orienteering in term 1 2021, make sure you apply before 27 November 2020!)
