Cumberland House Orienteering

The Year 3-6 Cumberland House orienteering competition was completed on Friday 20 September with sunny conditions on the Aitken College grounds. Students had been learning about orienteering and training in Physical Education classes leading up to the competition. Orienteering involves navigating, in sequence, to different control points that are located on a special course, using a specially-drawn map. The Year 5-6 students also found punch markers along the course.

 

Congratulations to the following students:
