On November 26th, O-Ventures hosted an exciting orienteering event for 103 Grade 9 students from St Mary’s Waverley, representing African Insights Academy. The event was held on the scenic grounds of the Drakensberg Boys Choir School, providing a challenging and beautiful backdrop for the competition.
The students were divided into ten teams, each led by a trained guide. Their task was to locate 19 control points scattered across the area, all while relying solely on their maps for navigation. The teams demonstrated impressive skills, with their times to complete the course ranging from 49 to 70 minutes.
The event proved to be a great success, showcasing the participants’ teamwork, problem-solving, and navigation abilities. The students not only enjoyed the thrill of the challenge but also gained valuable experience in orienteering, making the day a memorable one for all involved.
