Over Anzac weekend a small group of PNBHS students competed in the North Island Secondary Schools Orienteering Championships hosted by Counties Manukau Orienteering Club.
Competing in the Senior Boy’s Grade (Year 12/13 students) were Cooper Robinson (Yr12) and Jakob Abernethy (Yr 12) and in the Junior Boy's Grade (Year 9 students) were Ben Sheppard, Hugo Skerman and Tom Transom.
The boys raced very well over three days in very challenging conditions and gained multiple top 10 placings. A special mention to Hugo Skerman's first place in the Junior Championship Long event and Cooper Robinson's first place in the Senior Standard Long event.
Due to the team's good performance over the championships, they gained first place in the Boys’ Small Schools’ Competition (for schools with five or fewer competitors) by a considerable margin and fourth place in the Top Schools’ Competition (which is for schools with a large number of competitors). A great achievement for the team.
