On the last day of Term 2 both the Junior and Senior girls netball teams travelled to The Coast Christian School to play some friendly games of netball.

The junior girls had a convincing win with some good passing, defending and shooting to win their match while the senior girls had to be mixed with some players from TCCS to make two even teams. This too was a good game with many girls having the opportunity to play with some new friends.

Thank you Mrs Sirone for coaching the girls on the day.

GPCC Sport Teams

We are looking forward to sending our teams to a number of Gala Days and competitions in Primary this year.

Students will have a chance to trial for certain school teams over the coming terms and will need to keep a close eye on the notices and listen out for Assembly announcements for when trials will be held.

The protocol for team selection is as follows:

• Teams have at least 2-3 trials before final selection.
• Unfortunately, it is simply not possible for all children who trial to be included in final teams. It is not uncommon for up to 60 students to trial for a team that only has 10 spots available. Due to these limited spots, it is highly likely that students will miss out on making the team. We acknowledge that we have a number of skilled athletes who trial for these representative teams and we strive to give opportunity during trials for students to demonstrate their skills.
• Once teams have been chosen, they will aim to have at least one training session each week before a competition.

Netball and Basketball vs St Phillips Christian School, Gosford

On the last day of Term 2 we hosted the whole Year 12 cohort from St Philips Gosford for a sports afternoon. After lunch, our MPC laid stage firstly to a competitive game of senior mixed Netball. Both teams were evenly matched with GPCC coming out with a 27 – 11 victory. A large crowd welcomed the next game of senior boys Basketball. Again GPCC proved the stronger team with a 57 – 35 win. Thank you to all the players, coaches and spectators for a fantastic end of term. And a special thank you to the staff and students from St Philips who were able to take the time to come to our school to play for a second year in a row.
