Paul Kelly Cup AFL Gala Day

We had two teams represent the college at the Paul Kelly Cup South Division at Woy Woy on Tuesday. Congratulations to both teams for excellent performances throughout the day. Thank you to Mrs Stubbs-Mills and Mr McGregor for coaching the teams.

The girls AFL team had a great day playing increasingly better as the day went on. They played five games in total with the final game a nail biter; battling it out against Central Coast Adventist School for second place. They dominated the game and beat them by quite a margin. It was a great day and a first experience playing AFL for most of the team.

Mrs Stubbs-Mills

The boys AFL team had a great day on the field, winning 2 out of 4 matches. They played increasingly better as the day went on, standing tall against other challenging teams. It was a first experience playing AFL for most of the team, yet they pulled together and did well to represent Green Point and Christ. 

It was a pleasure to see the boys and girls cheer each other on. All the boys and girls should be commended for their hard work and camaraderie. 

Thank you for all the parents who supported the kids and assisted with coaching.

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.
