Students from schools all over the South Island from Takaka to Invercargill, and Christchurch to Westport are invited to compete in the SISS Orienteering Championships in Nelson, the weekend of 8 & 9 July 2023. 

In addition to finding out the new South Island 2023 orienteering champions, SISS is part of secondary schools’ Te Tau Ihu NavSport Festival 2023, also incorporating the NZ Rogaine Champs and the NZ Orienteering Champs, both in the Blenheim area in the days following the South Island Champs.

Students from the North Island are welcome to use the South Island Champs as a final training event for the upcoming National navigation events, the National Rogaine Champs and the National Orienteering Champs, both in the Marlborough region. North Island-based students can participate in SISSOC, but their results will be registered as non-competitive.
