Experience at the Football!

Last Friday night, Year 12 student Brandon Eiler was one of the Assistant Referees for the A-League Women's curtain raiser game. The Bathurst All Stars played before the Western Sydney Wanderers v Newcastle Jets who compete in the 2023/24 Women's LibertyA-League season. "It was a great experience, I loved it, and it was on a quality pitch", said Brandon. One of our teachers, Mrs Jasmin Christie-Johnston, played for and captained the All Stars Red team. She scored their only goal for a 1 all draw.
