Orienteering NSW is delighted to announce that it has been awarded grants to develop new permanent courses and a school holiday program.
With permanent courses already in place at Centennial Park (Sydney, pictured left), Blue Gum Hills and Hunter Wetlands (Newcastle), and Dumaresq Dam (Armidale, pictured right), ONSW plans to roll out another three this year. Clubs will soon be asked to nominate potential host venues.
The school holiday pilot programs (one in Sydney and one in a regional town) will draw on the OK-GO kit - developed by ONSW for the federal government's Sporting Schools program - to introduce orienteering to students in a safe, friendly environment over several half-days.
Funding for the programs comes from the Australian Sports Commission through Orienteering Australia, as part of the ASC's 2016 funding towards increasing participation in orienteering.
