GREEN POINT CHRISTIAN COLLEGE
A ministry of Green Point Baptist Church
Our motto is “Equipped for Life”
Please see below for current employment opportunities at GPCC.
Director of ICT (Full-time) - Green Point Christian College GPCC / Director of ICT
GPCC has launched a fundraising project today that will run until Sunday 4 June to help raise funds towards a truck for Pastor Isaac and the team that conduct the Rivers Convention each Easter.
You can learn more about this project at the special webpage set up for this fundraising effort - http://Qr.survival.net.au/gpcc
The fundraiser is in partnership with Survival First Aid Kits, with Green Point Christian College receiving a 25% cash return towards our project for every purchase made through our unique portal - http://Qr.survival.net.au/gpcc
As the purchaser you will also receive a 10% discount off the recommended retail price by using the code GPCC.
Please note that this fundraiser can also be shared with family and friends who may want to purchase a first kit at this time, but they will also need to use the GPCC portal (http://Qr.survival.net.au/gpcc) rather than purchase direct through the Survival website. You will see the posters up around the College and in our newsletter over the coming month.
Thank you for your support, and we are looking forward to reaching our goal together and supporting Pastor Isaac and the team as they share the good news throughout the Central West.

Brewarrina Christian School visit
It was wonderful having Brewarrina Christian School students, Pastor Isaac and the Turner family visit from Friday 26 May to Monday 29 May. The boys enjoyed playing basketball with the seniors. The Year 6 students visited friends made on the Canberra excursion. The BCS students and staff enjoyed sight seeing over the weekend, including visiting Kincumber Mountain and swimming at Caves Beach.
We talked in Secondary Assembly about learning from and about each other, to move our nation forward towards true Reconciliation. The BCS students expressed that there were more students at Green Point than the whole of Bre, it was overwhelming for them at times. The students had a great experience at Green Point and are now back in Brewarrina with Years 9 and 10 Visual Art students visiting.
