On Wednesday 18 June, a small group of Year 7 and 8 students
participated in Western Australia’s largest annual orienteering event, the Be Active WA Schools Championships,
held at Whiteman Park in the Swan Valley.
Orienteering
is a cross-country navigation sport. Participants use a map and compass to find
their way around a marked course, traditionally on foot and in the bush. At the race start, the students are given a pre-marked course map,
they then navigate to all the control points in sequential order until they
reach the finish.
On the
day all students performed to the best of their ability. A special
mention must go to Michaela Maynard, who took out second place in the Girls 15
and under A Division and Hannah Schnell who placed fourth in the same category.
Next year, Holy Cross College looks forward to competing again and with a few more students in the future.
