General Information

On behalf of College Sport Wellington (CSW), the Wellington and Hutt Valley Orienteering Clubs coordinate schools orienteering in the greater Wellington Area. The principal event is the CSW Secondary Schools Series.

A secondary school competition is held on maps in and around the Wellington area in which individuals compete over a series of events. The competition is divided into three college age grades - Senior, Intermediate and Junior - and three different technical levels - Championship, Standard and Novice - to cater for students with different levels of orienteering experience.

For those wishing to compete outside the Wellington area, all secondary school students are also eligible to compete in the North Island Secondary School Championships and in the New Zealand Secondary School Championships which are held at mid-year. Results at the Regional Schools Challenge, along with other events, will form the basis for the selection of a NZ Secondary Schools team to compete against Australian States in late September/early October.

CSW Orienteering Series

The CSW Orienteering Series is run in association with club events put on by Wellington Orienteering Club and Orienteering Hutt Valley. All events are held between 11.00 am and 1.00 pm on the day. Directions are given under the "Events" link on the WOC front page or can be found on Orienteering NZ website under ‘events’

Age grades and difficulty levels for the 2019 events will follow the standard for NZ Secondary School events.

Note that students may run up i.e. in an older age grade, but not down i.e. in a younger age grade.

At each event the fastest competitor in each class and grade will be awarded 25 points. The other competitors will then be awarded a number of points depending on the ratio of their time to the winner’s time. The best four out of six results will count for the final series points.
