After an exciting and highly professional performance at NIDA on Thursday night our amazing Wakakirri troupe was one of two schools nominated for a National award. We are so very proud of our students and their effort, skill and energy they demonstrated amongst such a high level of competition. National awards are announced in October. HUGE thank you to the staff and parents for their support and in particular Mrs McKeown and Miss Gem.

Write a Book in a Day
On Wednesday 6 September, a team of 10 very capable writers from Year 6 eagerly embraced the opportunity to 'Write a Book in a Day', in support of The Kids’ Cancer Project.
With parameters including an unlikely combination of characters, the students brainstormed, collaborated, drafted, edited, illustrated and published for 9 hours!
The students are to be congratulated on their excellent teamwork, creativity, IT skills and endurance. There were also a few laughs along the way, despite the tight timeframe.
Well done to all students and thank you to Mrs Smith for making a generous donation to the The Kids’ Cancer Project on our behalf.

Hat Compulsory Wearing
Following our uniform policy hats are back from Monday 4 September. This means all students MUST wear a hat when playing outside or participating in Sport or classes outside. Please ensure that your child has a hat at school each day and that their correct name is on their hat, (class not necessary).
As the UV climbs above 3, students will also be encouraged to wear sunscreen to school each day. The College does provide sunscreen for reapplication if required or students can bring a small container of their own in their bags.
Summer uniform for girls can be worn in the last two weeks of term, (from 11 September).

Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes
Green Point Christian College have been supporting Operation Christmas Child for over 30 years. This term we will be handing out the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes in Primary school, one box per family.
Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. It is a hands-on way for you to bless children in need across the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and fun gifts. OCC collect the boxes and distribute them in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in vulnerable situations.
The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.
We encourage you to start shopping now. For directions on how to pack a shoebox and what to put in it, please click on the link below.
