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 detailed example of how he helps his students to build orienteering competence over time.

The plans are provided as a word document so that they can be modified relatively easily and made specific to your own school.

Map Your School

We can professionally map your school, a nearby park or camp. Find out about getting us to map your school.
