We need some volunteers to cover books with contact. If you are able to assist please email michelle.molkentin@gpcc.nsw.edu.au.
Primary Choir - Tuesdays 8.00am
The Primary Choir meets each Tuesday morning in CAPA5 Theatre at 8:00am. No auditions are required. Mrs McKeown and Mrs Munro will meet students in the CAPA Theatre. We ask that students walk down the pathway next to the MPC and not walk on the road at this time, as cars will be entering school grounds.
Chess Club - Thursdays 8.00am
Primary Chess club will be running each Thursday morning with Mr Gibbins from 8:00-8:35am in the Library. Grades 2-6. All abilities welcome.
Competitions will begin later in the year.
Parent Partnership Evening - Wednesday 21 February
Parent Partnership Interviews are happening on Wednesday, 21 February, and are a wonderful time for you to meet and speak about each child with their class teacher. All bookings must be made through the Parent Lounge. Information on how to access these bookings was sent via email last week. Parent bookings are now open and will close at 12:00pm on Tuesday 20 February. Please note that while students are welcome to attend the meeting or to sit quietly outside the room, there will be no supervision of students, and they will not be allowed to play on the playground or play equipment. If you have any concerns regarding accessing Parent Lounge, please contact the College office.
How to book an Interview on Parent Lounge
You may access your account with your family number previously supplied. The easiest way to learn how to book your appointments is to watch the short video once you have accessed your account, under “School Links” tab, and select "Help Guide" to access the video on "How to Book Parent Teacher Interview".
