Student Shines at Qld Schools Orienteering Championships 

On the weekend of 26-27 July 2025 one of our students participated in the Queensland Schools Orienteering Championships held in the Kingaroy and Wondai areas. Over 120 students from all around Queensland took part in three events: a Sprint Distance event around the Kingaroy Schools, Relay and Individual Long Distance bush events at Wondai State Forest. Outstanding results included:

Orienteering is a competitive international sport that combines racing with navigation. Participants use very detailed maps to select routes and navigate through diverse and often unfamiliar terrain in the fastest time. Besides needing excellent map reading skills, an orienteer needs great concentration and the ability to make quick decisions about the best route under pressure while running at high speed. 

Results from these events were used to select a team of 20 students to represent Queensland at the Australian Schools Orienteering Championships in Brisbane in September/October.  Thomas has qualified for the Queensland Schools Orienteering Team....well done Thomas!
