Dio had 20 students join nearly 600 young orienteers from around Auckland, in a challenging rogaining competition.
Rogaining is a form of orienteering that requires not only speed and navigation skills, but strategic thinking as well. There is no set course; competitors are given a map marked with various control points and must decide which ones they can reach within a limited timeframe. The event commenced just after torrential rains had stopped, making the conditions particularly tough. Despite these hurdles, the students showcased exceptional resilience and skill.
Congratulations to Ellie Cumberland and Flora Stevens Oskam, who secured third place in the Year 7 and 8 Girls’ Team category.
Other top 10 results:
- Cerys Findlow, 4th place Intermediate Girls’ Individual
- Ada Findlow and Charlotte Dalziel, 4th place Intermediate Girls’ Team
- Abbie To, 4th place Year 7 and 8 Girls’ Individual
- Amy McRae and Stella Ou, 5th in the Junior Girls’ Team
- Mila Walsh, 6th place Intermediate Girls’ Individual
- Amelia McIntosh, 7th place in the Senior Girls’ Individual
- Sophia Ng, 9th place Junior Girls’ Individual
Congratulations to all our young orienteers for their achievements and for representing Dio with such commendable spirit and determination.
