Our 2019 regional school championships start next week with the Riverina titles in Wagga, where we are expecting a record turnout of around 100 students at Willans Hill.
Unlike most sports, students do not need to qualify for these days, nor do they require any previous orienteering experience.
The format of each event - a map talk and walk with a coach, an individual age race, then a 3-person relay (see picture, left) - ensures all students get the maximum educational and exercise benefit from the day.
The culmination of the regional champs are the NSW Schools Champs, which this year will be held in the Southern Highlands on September 7-8 in conjunction with State League events. All students are invited to compete; again, no qualification is necessary.
For details and information flyers for all schools champs and gala days, please go to the schools champs web page.
As you can imagine, each day requires many helpers to run smoothly. Club members and parents - if you can assist in any way (registration, coaching, on the start or at the finish, putting out or collecting controls, directing parking etc), please contact
