Each year we select a team of up to 20 for the South Australian Schools Orienteering team to compete at the Australian Schools Orienteering Championships. This year the championships will be held around Armidale, NSW! To be selected for this team you need to nominate and attend as many of the Schools Selection Trials as possible.
