Diocesan Touch Gala Day

The annual Diocesan Touch Galla Day will be held on Friday 3 November in Inverell. Students from Years 3-6 will be eligible to trial and participate. The carnival is an Open mixed event, which means Year 3 & 4 male & female students will be competing against Year 5 & 6 male & female students. There is a limit on how many teams can be entered, and first preference is given to seniors (Years 5 & 6). Students will need to be able to get themselves to the complex by 8:40 am and then a bus will transport students back to school at the end of the day. Trials are taking place this week at Snack Break - Wednesday, Thursday & Friday. If students are not at the trials they will not be eligible for selection.
