As
part of a fantastic inquiry unit of work the Year 5 students and teachers at
Meadowbank School have been planning, designing and creating a rogaine event
around the Meadowbank community. The event is open to the public and will be an
epic family day out – so come and join the fun!
WHAT IS ROGAINE?
Rogaine is the sport of long distance cross country navigation in which teams of 2-5 members visit as many checkpoints as possible within a given time limit, usually 24 hours! Our event is 2 hours.
Teams travel entirely on foot, navigating by a map. Checkpoints may be visited in any order, with checkpoints being allocated differing points. Teams can also choose to participate in a range of enviro challenges for points (like the amazing race!) The highest overall score wins. Penalty points are deducted from a team’s overall score for a late return.
EVENT CENTRE:
The event centre is at Meadowbank School on the senior side campus, situated on Waiatarua Road.
ON THE DAY: Saturday November 10th
Registration opens at 1pm with the race starting at 2pm and finishing at 4pm.
