Paul Kelly AFL Finals- Central Coast
Late last term our AFL Girls Team went to Bateau Bay to play in the Regional Finals against some of the best school teams on the Central Coast. We played three games, winning one and coming off second best in the others. Some of our players had never played before and they picked it up so quickly! Everyone tried their hardest and hopefully some of the girls have been inspired to play next season for their local club. It was a great day in all.

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.
CSSA and CIS Sport trial dates TERM 3:
Wednesday 2 August - CIS Boys and Girls Softball Trials (Year 5 and 6 only) Nominations close 26 July

GPCC vs St Philips Christian School Basketball
On the last day of Term 2, during and after lunch our school hosted 3 games of Basketball on our re-covered and surfaced outdoor basketball courts against St Philips Christian College Gosford.
The senior boys played first and played very well winning 56 – 31. The junior girls team were a tougher opponent and St Philips were victorious 26 -12. Our junior boys finished the day and again played very well and came away with a 25 – 13 win.
This was the first time that we have created these interschool matches in the Secondary school with St Philips, and we hope to make this a regular event with many different sports. It was fantastic for the students to actually get to see our school teams play and will be a helpful experience for our boys teams as they play their basketball gala day next week.
