Young Leaders Day
Last Monday, our Primary student leaders attended the Young Leaders Day at the International Conference Centre in Darling Harbour.
The keynote speakers were Anastasia Woolmer, Eva Amores, Matt Cosgrove, Stephen O’Keefe, and Bryson Klein.
Each speaker shared their story to the 5,000 student leaders present and spoke of perseverance, persistence, resilience, and conquering fear in order to lead.
The students were encouraged by hearing how each speaker had overcome adversity to reach their goals. It was a fantastic day, and we look forward to seeing how our keen student leaders put the lessons they learned into practice as they serve in their roles at school and throughout their lives.
A big thank you to Miss Batchelder who supervised on the day and Mr Miller for driving.

Thank you to all our Primary students that cleaned up our College grounds as they took part in Clean Up Australia Day last Friday.
This year STEM students would like to design, create, test and build from PVC Pipes. If you have leftover PVC piping from building or plumbing jobs, GPCC Primary would love to collect these and use to build engineering challenges. Pipes need to be clean . Lengths can be cut down. We also need any connectors Y,T,I, or L shapes to join the lengths of pipes.
Families can bring to school and leave in the STEM room - L11 (the old L1 room) or students may bring to school and leave in the plastic tubs located outside L11.
We would really appreciate the chance to recycle these offcuts. Please email Mrs Reynolds with any inquiries CReynolds@gpcc.nsw.edu.au
Future Enrolments at GPCC
We are currently experiencing very high demand for enrolment at GPCC. To assist with our planning, we recommend families apply two years prior to intended start date. If you have a child due to commence Kindergarten or Year 7 in 2026 would you kindly complete an enrolment application via the following link; Enrolment Application | Green Point Christian College (gpcc.nsw.edu.au)
Please note: If your child is currently enrolled in Year 6 at GPCC you are not required to apply for Secondary School. As noted in our Enrolment Policy, if your child will not be continuing at the College in 2025, you are required to give ten weeks’ notice. Kindly advise our Registrar in writing - registrar@gpcc.nsw.edu.au.
