GPCC Sport Teams

We are looking forward to sending our teams to a number of Gala Days and competitions in Primary again 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, teacher announcements in class and listen out for Assembly announcements for when trials will be held.

The protocol for team selection is as follows: (new policy/code of conduct available soon)

• 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 40 students to trial for a team that only has 10 spots available.
• Once teams have been chose, they will aim to have at least one training session each week before a competition.

Important Information: HCZS Soccer and Netball Gala Day 2025 - TAMWORTH

Trials for the GPCC netball and soccer teams (Years 3-6) will take place later this term (times TBC). It is important to know that if your child decides to trial this year's HCZS (Zone) Netball and Soccer gala day will be held in Tamworth.

Due to the considerably long distance, any students selected to join these teams will be required to travel via private transport to or from the event. This plan was successful in 2023, the last time this event was held there.

Mr McSwan wanted to let you know this information prior to trials taking place and teams selected as it may affect participation in the trials should parents not be in a position to arrange transport for their child

Individual Sport Trials for Primary CSSA and CIS Teams (NOT GPCC teams)

These trials are not for GPCC school teams that we trial for here at school (as mentioned above). The CSSA or CIS trials are usually held in Sydney and students will be trialling against students from either other Christian Schools (CSSA) or other Independent Schools (CIS) and are usually recommended for those students that compete at a representative level.

Please email Mr McSwan before these Nomination dates if your child (YEARS 5 AND 6 ONLY) would like to be considered. They need to be currently playing in the sport at a very high level and have several years' experience (preferably at a Representative level): Parents are required to transports students to and from these trials.

CSSA and CIS Sport trial dates: Please note these are not for GPCC school teams.
