School life is progressing close to normal outside the covid restriction zones - which means we are still delivering orienteering to students.

This term, Jenny and Damien Enderby from our Newcastle club have taught a whopping 210 students from Blackalls Park Primary School plus another 215 at Garden Suburb PS.

There are also teacher-led programs at Cedars Christian College in Wollongong, St Raphael's Catholic School in Cowra, Summerland Christian College near Lismore and Rosewood PS.

We thank all the coaches who have conducted these and instructed the teachers.

We are sad to say the NSW Schools Champs set down for August 28-29 have been cancelled due to the ongoing covid situation.

This weekend always brings so much joy to the non-orienteering students and parents who get a real taste of our sport in a friendly atmosphere.

Thank you to Uringa and WHO for all the work they did in preparing the events in south-west Sydney which were also going to be State Leagues.

The Sydney North champs won't be happening on Monday either, and we hope we can put this day on later in the year.

Looking for some exercise in lockdown?

Thanks to our Bennelong, Garingal and Illawarra Kareelah clubs there are now more orienteering courses you can do on the free MapRunF app while isolating.

Bennelong have new courses at Gordon (three line courses and a score) and Seaforth (three line courses and a score), Garingal at Artarmon (score) and IKO at Kiama (line).

Please observe all current covid protocols (stay inside your local government area or <10km from home).

A big thank you to the club members who have devised these courses.

Sadly the Public Health Order restrictions for our members in Greater Sydney, including the Central Coast, Wollongong, Shellharbour and the Blue Mountains have been increased and extended as the current outbreak expands. Those in regional areas still have additional requirements in regards to facemasks and the one person per 4 square metres.

As a result unfortunately there are no organised events for our members this coming weekend, even for those in regional areas due to the postponement of State League 8 & 9 at Port Macquarie.

The recent increase in restrictions for Greater Sydney now mean you can only exercise with one other person not from your household and this exercise must be done within your Local Government Area (LGA) or within 10km of your residence which you can confirm using this handy website. This applies to the Permanent and MapRun locations listed below.
