Equipped for Life

This week I spoke with the students about our NEW College motto Equipped for Life. To unpack this for our younger students, I encouraged them to think of the different equipment we need for everyday tasks such as a toaster, butter, bread and a knife for making toast, or a sewing kit and thread for mending a shirt.

When we reflect on this analogy we are able to see that it is not only the tools we gather to help us complete a task or project, but also the order and manner in which we use those tools.

As we begin to unpack the College Graduate Profile with our students in Primary over the next few weeks, it is important to remember these tools being:

Godly in Character

Collaborative

Life Long Learner

Creative and Critical Thinker, and 

Socially Engaged

as attributes that will not only assist us at school, but also in our families, careers, sporting teams and beyond school. Please take time this week to discuss with your child what is important for you as a family.

Sickness and Absences

Please remember to let the College office know if your child is unwell. If students become unwell during the day, we will be sending them home to eliminate the spread of germs around our College.

Students who are unwell will not be provided work for the day, as we recognise it is important for them to rest and recover properly.

Kindergarten Enrolments

Do you have a preschool child or know someone who is considering enrolling at GPCC for 2021? We are now interviewing for Kindergarten and would encourage anyone who is considering GPCC in 2021 to please contact Angela Sheather, the Registrar asap, as places are filling fast.
