Sandra Stewart and Lyn Malmgron organised the South West Regional Schools Championships on Tuesday 22nd June that saw nearly 400 students from age 9 to 16 years old competing on courses set around the Camden Equestrian Centre. Coaches and experienced orienteers for all over Sydney were drafted in to help introduce the students to orienteering around a practice course, before their individual races started. A quick lunch and then it was on to the most ambitious part of the day, a team relay across all the age groups, which also saw some of the coaches showing off their paces to the youngsters. Thomas Hassall Anglican College brought along 30 senior students, whose school sports uniform was perfect for the day. Elizabeth Macarthur High College, Hurlstone Agriculture High School and Chevalier College battled it out with them in the older age classes, whilst the primary schools competing included public schools from Elderslie, Cawdor, Camden South, Thirlmere, Warragamba, Mawarra, Narellan Vale and Mount Annan.
