After much deliberation, the Board of Selectors for the Orienteering NSW All Schools Team have made their selection of this years' team.
This year's selection was extremely difficult for the Board of Selectors and many difficult decisions were made due to the quantity and quality of nominations.
Congratulations to those selected.

Callum Waland has been selected as Team Reserve. This means if there is a vacancy for some reason in any age/gender category of the team then Callum will become part of the official team.
We would like to encourage those who were not selected to participate in the Australian Schools Orienteering Championships as an Independent Athlete within the Independent Athlete Development Group. Athletes in the IADG will all stay together as a group and have the opportunity to do the same courses at this year's Australian Schools Orienteering Championships as those who are selected in their state's teams.

Our Vision
The International Orienteering Federation´s goals regarding the organisation of this annual event are as follows:
Increasing the visibility and accessibility of orienteering to young people, increasing the number of participants both in the schools’ activities, as well and in the clubs’ activities in all countries of National Federations, helping teachers to implement orienteering in a fun and educational way and to get more new countries to take part in orienteering.
One of our clubs - Southern Highlands Orienteers has featured on the WOW website last week see article link below:

WOW 2024
In May, between the 18th to 26th of May, any activity held can be organised as a World Orienteering Week event!
