The Orienteering team enjoyed its most successful season ever in the Herts schools’ orienteering league, ably led by captain Robin (U6C2) who now bows out after seven years’ service to the team (excluding lockdowns) as Herts U18 county champion.  As ever, the pre-Christmas events took the team around local parks, this season Verulamium, Stanborough and Boxmoor, and then, after Christmas, things became a lot more technical on Mardley Heath and Chipperfield Common.

The team had a second gold medallist and county champion in Reuben (9H1), who won the Year 9 and 10 event, and our other medallists were Kai (10M2), who took bronze behind Reuben, and Leo (8C1), who claimed the silver in the Year 7 and 8 competition.

The combined efforts of our medallists and other team members Dylan (7S), Aeshan (7H), Josh (9H1) and Arjun (9C1) saw us finish second overall in the team competition.  Very well done to them all.  We are already very excited to start next year’s competition.
