NNSW National Schools Futsal Tournament
During the holidays, Riley D (Year 6) travelled to Brisbane to compete for NNSW in the National Schools Futsal Tournament. Though the team had a slow start, they advanced to the quarter finals, semi finals, and ultimately the grand final. It was a tough match that went into Golden Point extra time, but the team narrowly lost 3-2. Despite the defeat, the girls were incredibly proud of their performance.
At the end of the tournament, Riley was selected for the 2025 U13 Girls Australian team and will be traveling to Barcelona next May.
What an amazing achievement by Riley and so exciting to be able to travel to Barcelona and play next year. We will be cheering you and the team on. Go Riley.

Cricket Match Report
On Monday 4 November our Open Cricket team competed against Pacific Hills Christian School (PHCS) in Round 1 of the CSSA statewide knockout 50-over competition at Kellyville. GPCC batted first, setting a formidable target of 303 runs, thanks to impressive scores in the 90s by Raj S and Charlie M, along with valuable contributions from the rest of the lineup. In response, PHCS batted the full 50 overs, finishing at 9/269. Raj S, Charlie M, and Tyson S each took two wickets, contributing to the team’s strong bowling effort.
Congratulations to the entire team on their victory. They will advance to Round 2, where they will face Carinya Christian School from Tamworth.
U15 Cricket
On Wednesday 6 November the Under 15 Cricket team travelled to Sydney to compete against Hills Grammar at Kenthurst Park. GPCC won the toss and chose to bowl first. Hills Grammar quickly found themselves at 4 for 22, but their next two batsmen displayed remarkable skill and a wide range of shots, both reaching centuries. Despite the challenging conditions, GPCC persevered, ultimately restricting Hills Grammar to 302 for 6 at the end of their 40 overs. Wickets were taken by Isaac J, Thomas D, and Alex S.
Hills Grammar’s bowling attack was fierce and highly accurate. In response, GPCC managed a commendable total of 104 runs, with notable contributions from Isaac S (19), Oliver C (20), and Aiden B (14). Although it was a tough match, I am extremely proud of the team’s determination and the way they represented the College.
