For Coaches / Managers / Teachers

If you have new orienteers in your group, there are a few things we have available to help. Make sure they’ve watched the video for first-timers on the info pages. We will have Orienteering Lifeguards out on course that they can ask for help if they are stuck. If participants are trying orienteering for the first time or are not feeling confident, they may go in pairs for the first two weeks with a map and SPORTident card each (this is how we record times).

Please try to be at the venue before 4pm so students can hear the race briefing.

Students should not walk through the school grounds (so please avoid the buildings) to get to the event centre. The main school buildings area is out of bounds until you start the event!

DON’T RISK DISQUALIFICATION BY WALKING THROUGH THE BUILDINGS.

From Rosedale Rd enter the school via the East entrance and follow the TrailBlaze signs to the event centre.

For Competitors

Remember, no lining up at the start lines until after the race briefing. We can not state an exact time for briefing as it occurs immediately after all controls are put out. It is usually around 3:50-4:00pm. After briefing has finished students will be asked to line up behind their competition grade signs. They will be released to start approximately every 45-60 seconds from then till all students have started.

Results will be available live on the TV screen at the event centre and published afterwards here.

Out of bounds:
As always, areas marked in olive green on the map are out of bounds. These are generally small gardens. There are small areas of pink stripe, these are also out of bounds.

Special considerations:
There may be other sports codes practicing on the field and on the netball courts. It is wise to avoid this area.

The fields and grounds have cracks throughout them due to the lack of rain so please be careful on your ankles.

Toilets:
Toilets are available as sign posted.
