ONSW will be sending a NSW Schools Team to the 2025 Australian Schools Orienteering Championships (ASOC) to be held in and around Brisbane, Qld on 30 September-2 October 2025. The team will consist of a maximum of 20 athletes, with a maximum of 6 athletes permitted in any of the four classes. The four classes are Junior Boys and Girls (athletes aged 12 to 15 on December 31, 2025) and Senior Boys and Girls (athletes 19 and under on 31 December 2025). We expect positions within the team to be highly contested.
