Orienteering NSW is calling for nominations for the 2019 NSW Schools Team.

Up to 20 high school students - junior boys and girls (15 and under), and senior boys and girls - are selected to compete in the Australian All Schools Championships in individual and relay races.

In 2019, the squad (known as the Carbines) will travel with a manager and coach to Wagga Wagga for a week of competition during the September/October school holidays.

Nominations close on April 1. The squad will be announced by June 30 on the ONSW website.

Compulsory selection events are the NSW championships near Cowra on May 18-19 and the QB III carnival in the Southern Highlands on June 8-10.

Nominees are strongly encouraged to compete at all State Leagues. Please submit your nomination via Eventor. You can view the selection criteria here. Written notification to the Chair of Selectors (Rob Bennett) is required if illness, injury or exceptional circumstances prevent attendance at any race.

The coach for 2019 is Rob Bennett (Newcastle) and the manager is Damien Enderby. Rob, Hilary and Jock Davis are the selectors. We thank them for their dedication to this important task.
