Diocesan Summer Trials
Diocesan Summer Trials will take place in Tamworth on Friday the 5th of April. Summer trials are for cricket and touch football for students in Year 5 and 6 who have a proficient skill level in these sports. Students will be selected for an Armidale Diocesan team to participate in carnivals later in the year. If your child has expressed interest in trialling for cricket or touch, you will receive communication via Compass with more information about the trials and to give permission for your child to attend.
All information about Diocesan sports events is well communicated on the Armidale Diocesan Primary Sports Council Facebook Page. This includes postponements and event photos. Please ensure you take the time to like this page, so you have access to the most up to date information on Diocesan sports events.
