Sports Foundation
Sports is an integral component of Diocesan School where the opportunity to participate, learn, enjoy and excel in sports and physical activity is widely encouraged. Sport at Diocesan is well supported by the Sports Foundation (an initiative on the Heritage Foundation), parents and teachers, enabling our students to participate in a wide variety of sports trips, competitions and events. We foster strong links with clubs and regional organisations, and the role of the Diocesan Sports Foundation is to support, promote, and encourage a successful sporting environment at Diocesan.
