In-School Orienteering

You can run simple orienteering activities on your school campus or at a nearby park or camp.

For assistance on anything relating to Orienteering in Schools, contact our Sporting Schools Manager, Jan Fletcher.

Orienteering WA can help you in the following ways:

Free Booklet and Lesson Plans

Please take the opportunity to download our Orienteering for Schools booklet which provides details of the basics of orienteering plus sets out the format for a 4 session course.  
The aim of this booklet is to assist teachers who are keen to set their own orienteering programs.

Also available are a series of 10 Lesson Plans, prepared by Mike Sibbald for his Year 4 students at St Brigid's School Middle Swan.
Mike is an experienced orienteer and teacher, and the plans are provided as a detail example of how he helps his students to build orienteering competence over time.
We have left the plans as a word document so that they can be modified relatively easily and can be made specific to your own school.
