Orienteering NSW is calling for nominations for the 2016 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 2016, the squad (known as the Carbines) will travel with a manager and coach to Queensland for a week of competition during the September/October school holidays.

Nominations close on March 17. The squad will be announced by June 30, after the Queen's Birthday weekend State Leagues.

Competing in ALL selection events is expected. These are Easter (the Australian 3-days) and all State Leagues. Please submit your nomination to NSW selector Hilary Wood (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) by March 17. You can view the selection criteria here. Written notification to the Chair of Selectors (Andy Hill) is required if illness, injury or exceptional circumstances prevent attendance at any race.

The coach for 2016 is Jock Davis (Big Foot) and the manager is Sally Devenish (Western Plains). Andy Hill, Hilary Wood and Jock Davis will continue as selectors for the NSW Schools team in 2016. We thank them for their dedication to this important task.
