Convenor & Team Manager Information
To facilitate the efficient organisation of Sporting trials around the Diocese and to enable the best team to be selected to represent the Armidale Diocese, it is vital that the School Sports Coordinator promotes events adequately and ensures that nominations are submitted online by the proposed date.
Teachers holding appropriate experience and qualifications are encouraged to apply to be trial conveners, managers or coaches of the above listed representative teams. Development Officers from community clubs may be involved in team selection.
Teachers facilitating the Diocesan Trials may need to call on assistance depending on the number of students trialing. This may require a specialist development officer or another teacher with expertise in this particular sport.
IMPORTANT: Please note that only selected staff members with the correct email address will be able to view and edit the following documents.
These measures have been put in place to ensure our student's personal details are kept confidential at all times.
If you require access to any of the following documents please contact Tim Kennedy.
