PSSA Swimming Carnival
On the last day of Term 1 Reef M from 6B went down to the Sydney Olympic Aquatic Centre to compete at the PSSA (NSW All Schools) Swimming Carnival. Reef had such an amazing time having qualified for the final after finishing 2nd in his heat for the 12-year boys 50m Backstroke. Reef was cheered on by all of his classmates and teachers who were watching the live stream of the event from the comfort of their own classrooms. A huge congratulations to Reef who went on to finish 6th in the final. Well done Reef! You are a star.
CSSA Netball Trials
Last term Penny L, Grace B, Sibella M, Ruth G and Lily D from Stage 3 attended the CSSA Netball trials at Northern Beaches Christian School in the hope of being selected for the team to compete at CIS trials. The girls were put through their paces completing drills and practice matches throughout the day. These trials are always extremely competitive with many girls attending the event from across the state. Congratulations to all the girls for a successful trial with Lily D, Ruth G, Sibella M and Grace B being chosen for the CSSA team.
CIS AFL Trials
Last term Lucas M and Toby M travelled to Sydney for the Primary Boys AFL trials. As always, these days provide a great experience for those that attend and are very competitive. Both Lucas and Toby performed really well throughout the day and gave it their all. Congratulations boys on representing yourselves and the College with pride. Well done!

Individual Sport Trials for Primary CSSA and CIS Teams
These trials are not for GPCC school teams that we trial here at school to play at certain gala days throughout the year (as mentioned above). The CSSA or CIS trials are usually held in Sydney and students will be trialling against students from either other Christian Schools (CSSA) or other Independent Schools (CIS) and are usually recommended for those students that compete at a representative level.
Please email Mr McSwan before these dates if your child (Years 5 and 6 only) would like to be considered. They need to be currently playing in the sport and have several years’ experience (preferably at a Representative level): Parents are required to transport students to and from these trials.
