Victorian Schools team update (from the OV weekly bulletin)
This year Orienteering Victoria will again select a team of up to 20 high school students to compete in the Australian Schools Orienteering Championships. Some refinements are in progress regarding the selection process. This year participation and commitment from our juniors will be essential to the selection of the team.

Orienteering Victoria is very keen to encourage all potential team members to participate in the major events coming up here in Victoria, e.g. all State Series events and State Championships. Participation in major interstate events such as Easter is also encouraged. More participation from our juniors will further improve their skills. Commitment is also a key factor, so again Orienteering Victoria is encouraging our juniors to attend the upcoming Junior Development training camps and other training events.

The selection criteria will be finalised soon, however in the meantime come along to the training events and camps, and get along to State Series events and Easter, and do your best. Bruce Arthur.
