Location: Columboola EEC and offsite

Orienteering is a sport, which combines outdoor adventure with map reading and navigational skills.

It involves navigating through a designated area with the aid of a specially produced map to locate checkpoints (controls) on various natural and man-made features along the way, such as a boulder, track junction or bench seat.

Depending on age group and skill level, students will work inside school grounds and in nearby Columboola bush environment.
