Mrs Amanda Rutlidge | Head of Primary         

Welcome to Term 4! I hope that the holidays were a wonderful time of rest with your families and friends. The term ahead is very busy with many exciting end of year events. I pray that as we head into the final term of 2024 that God continues to bless each of our students and their families as we seek to follow His will for our lives.

Green Point Christian College have been supporting Operation Christmas Child for over 30 years. 

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.

Year 2 Excursion

Year 2 enjoyed an exciting morning on Thursday exploring the Bulgandry Aboriginal Art Site. They were able to ‘see, think, wonder’ at God’s beautiful creation and the amazing ancient rock carvings.

Part 2 of their excursion was to visit the Gosford Waterfront Playground, with its sandstone animal ‘islands’ inspired by the Bulgandry carvings. What a wonderful opportunity to explore our local area and be reminded of the importance of caring for the land that God has made.

Sewing Volunteers Needed

We are hoping some volunteers can help us mend some costumes that will mean they last for years to come. 

We are looking for people who can sew to take a small bundle of 10 home to sew the edges of the costumes. A sewing or overlocker machine in needed. 

If you can help with this, please email Mrs Rebecca McKeown
