On Monday, we had the privilege of welcoming local Orienteering coach Jason Falconer to Ferndown Middle. Jason is a member and coach at Wessex Orienteering Club and comes with a wealth of experience. Having produced an official map of the site prior to his visit, Jason set out 20 controls around the school to enable students to enjoy taster sessions throughout the course of the day. The students that took part thoroughly enjoyed taking on the challenging course, which required them to combine their map reading and running skills. An extremely positive day.
Any students wishing to find out about local Orienteering events or how to find a club should ask the PE department for a flyer.
