Participants learned and engaged in planning and moving through the bush by taking into account land-form and shape, they used a map and compass in concert to enable navigation and planned and executed movements over terrain. Nearing the end of the day, students demonstrated their navigation skills in a solo and team navigation races.
The students had a great day and learnt valuable hiking skills. For more information on the Duke of Ed program at Thomas Hassall, send an email to Miss Friel at [email protected].
