Green Point Christian College have been supporting Operation Christmas Child for over 30 years. This term we will be handing out the Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes in Primary school, one box per family in Week 9, Term 3.

Operation Christmas Child is a project of Samaritan’s Purse. It is a hands-on way for you to bless children in need across the world by filling shoeboxes with toys, hygiene items, school supplies, and fun gifts. OCC collect the boxes and distribute them in the name of Jesus Christ to children living in vulnerable situations.

The mission of Operation Christmas Child is to provide God’s love in a tangible way to children in need around the world, and together with the local church worldwide, to share the Good News of Jesus Christ.

We encourage you to start shopping now. For directions on how to pack a shoebox and what to put in it, please click on the link below. 

How To Pack A Shoebox - Operation Christmas Child

On Thursday 19 September eight of our Year 6 students took on the challenge to Write a Book in a Day, for a very worthy cause, The Kids’ Cancer Project.

The students were provided with five parameters for their story at 8:00am: two tradies, a television, a field and a rain event!

The students worked collaboratively to brainstorm, plan, delegate tasks, draft, illustrate, edit and publish their book, until time ran out at 4:30pm.

The students are to be commended on their teamwork, resilience, problem solving skills and their finished publication, titled The Brick: Cabin Fever, which was partly inspired by a popular Australian renovation show. The digital illustrations were particularly outstanding, thanks to Kerryn and Caitlyn.

The team will look forward to sharing their book with some of the Primary students next week.

Thank you to Mrs Rutlidge for making a donation towards kids’ cancer research on behalf of the Primary department.

Year 2 Excursion

On Friday 13 September Year 2 had the experience of attending the ‘Sustainable Future Festival’ at the Entrance in Memorial Park. They were entertained by Junkyard Beats, Curious Creators and Renewy Living , just to name a few providers. Students made playdough, permaculture jars, plastic pens and carabiners from recycled plastics , and enjoyed ‘driving’ the 1Coast Cleanaway trucks. They searched for endangered species, and wrestled with worms . A very worthwhile time spent exploring how we are to sustain and look after the world that God has created for us.

Enrolment in 2025

To assist with our planning would you kindly notify us if you have already decided that your child will NOT be continuing at the College in 2025. Please advise in writing via  registrar@gpcc.nsw.edu.au only if your child’s enrolment will be changing for 2025.

Please note, as per Green Point Christian College's Enrolment Conditions, you must give 10 weeks’ term time notice in writing to the Registrar prior to withdrawal. Without this notice, 10 weeks’ fees + GST will be charged for each student enrolment being withdrawn. This amount is a genuine pre-estimate by the College of the loss that it would suffer due to insufficient notice.
