House Orienteering Challenge – Kyneton Botanical Gardens - Ms Lauren White
On Friday 10 May over 300 year 7 and 8 students and their teachers walked through the magnificent autumn leaf display to the Botanical Gardens to participate in the House Orienteering Challenge.
Students had three weeks of PE classes prior, learning and honing their skills within the College boundaries, and now was their opportunity to put those skills into practice. Students were able to compete in pairs or as individuals. An overwhelming number of students took the opportunity to further develop their friendships amongst the delightful surrounds of the gardens.
Congratulations to Cillian Durrant, Lucinda Bowen, Michael Brown and Molly Freeman who took out first place for the Yr 7 and 8 Individuals and Seth Xuereb and Finbarr Sutton and Kai Wattie and Oscar Drane who placed first in the Yr 7 and 8 pairs.
Overall, O’Neill placed first, McAuley second, Nightingale third and Chisholm fourth.
Student Reflection
On 10 May the Year 7s and 8s went to the Kyneton Botanical Gardens for Orienteering. You could do it solo or in a duo. It was great fun running around the botanical gardens, stamping the paper and reading the map. The area size was just right so you didn’t get too puffed from running around!
It was well organised and this made it easier to start and get going. I would have liked more time so there was more competition, as we only had about a period to complete it in.
