Dio Soccer Trials

Last Thursday, a number of our students attended the Diocesan soccer team trials, where they participated enthusiastically and showcased their skills. Congratulations to all students who took part in the trials, and a special mention to Harvey Quarmby and Archie Eades, who were successful in being selected for the Diocesan Soccer Team.   They will now form  part of the Bathurst Diocesean Team to take part in the Polding Trials in Bathurst on the 1st of May next term.  We wish them well.

Students who wish to participate should be able to run the full distance and should have already taken part in the 800m race at the recent athletics carnival. Students are required to wear their sports uniform and appropriate shoes on the day of the trials.
