Head of Primary
Many of you will have heard that I am finishing up my role as Head of Primary at the end of 2023. I am so grateful for the time I have been able to spend sowing into the lives of families here on the Central Coast and to be a part of the beautiful community that we have here at GPCC. I know that God has amazing plans for the future of GPCC and whilst I am excited about new beginnings, I will miss all that GPCC is.
We still have a jam-packed Term 4 with lots of fun and engaging events for our students to finish off the year. Please continue to encourage our students to bring their best each day in their learning, their presentation (uniform) and their relationships.
As I write shoe boxes are still making their way through the College gates to Mrs Davis room and the number of boxes is increasing. There is still time as our truck comes on Monday (6 November), so please remember to bring them in.Thank you to all the families who have created a box.
K - 2 Grandparents Day
What a joy it was to have our K-2 grandparents visit our classrooms and spend some time with our students at school on Wednesday 1 November. We saw proud students showing off their classrooms, and proud grandparents excited to see what their grandchildren get up to at school. A massive thank you to Mrs de Lore and Mrs Milsom for creating such a beautiful event. Thank you to Mrs Barnes and her her Year 10 Food Technology students along with Mrs Mohr w ho prepared and served the morning tea for the grandparents.
Thank you to all our beautiful grandparents who joined us for our special K-2 Grandparents Day Assembly. Our K-2 students had big smiles on their faces as they sang songs and shared what they loved about their grandparents. We were also blessed to view one last Wakakirri performance and hear from our Primary Choir. A massive thank you to everyone who was involved in pulling this wonderful event together.
