One of the highlights of our year is the annual regional and NSW schools orienteering championships. These events are a terrific promotion of our sport.
In 2018 we will be putting on a record 12 regional champs and gala days, plus the two-day state schools championships which this year are in Sydney's Hills District on September 1-2.
You can view the schedule here and download the flyers.
Last year we hosted almost 2,500 students across these days, run by our member clubs and partner organisation Bold Horizons.
The Sydney West primary champs are so big we'll be conducting two days for them - after last year we had 600+ entries!
We rely on a small army to conduct these days - and with up to 400 students at each event, plenty of help is needed and appreciated!
Volunteers assist with putting out and collecting controls, introductory level coaching, SPORTident timing, traffic and course marshalling as well as start and finish help. If you have some time during the week preceding or after the event but not on the day, you may also be able to assist with timing stick sorting and equipment collection.
Events and dates that we would appreciate help for are:
June 20 - Sydney West Primary Schools day 1 at Castle Hill
June 21 - Sydney West Primary Schools day 2 at Castle Hill
June 27 - Sydney South West Primary Schools at Camden
June 29 - Sydney West Secondary Schools at Castle Hill
August 13 - Sydney North Schools at St Ives
If you are able to help, can you please save the dates and let Barbara Hill (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) know of the events that you may be able to assist at.
