GPCC Christmas Tree at Erina Fair
Our GPCC Christmas Tree at Erina Fair has now been decorated with beautiful ornaments made by Year 2 students. A big thank you to Mr Gibbins, Mrs Groenenboom, Mrs Rangiawha, and our Year 2 students, Jasper V and Manaia D for helping decorate our tree and making it look so beautiful.
Make sure you get down to Erina Fair (entrance closest to Kmart and Base Warehouse) and vote on our Tree. The 3 trees with the most votes win a voucher to use at Erina Fair. There will be an online voting platform with access via a QR code on display at near the trees.
Medication at School
Staff at the College are unable to administer medication, (including paracetamol and ibuprofen) without written permission from a parent. If your child requires medication whilst at school, please email: medical@gpcc.nsw.edu.au and deliver medication to the office where it will be stored securely.
Library Books
It’s that time of year to please start looking for any overdue library books that haven’t been returned. Our wonderful Library staff will be doing a stocktake at the end of the year so it is helpful if you start returning library books that may have been forgotten about at home.
7/11
A reminder that students are not permitted to go to the 7/11 before or after school without a parent. Please remind your children about this school rule.
