NSW Central Coast Futsal Gala Day
In the last week of Term 1, three GPCC teams attend the NSW Central Coast Futsal Gala Day at Niagara Park. All the teams performed well throughout the day demonstrating improvement as each game was played with fast movement, skilful passing, accurate shooting and wonderful sportsmanship.
Our U10 team went through the day undefeated and played St John Baptist in the Grand Final where after going down to an early goal quickly sparked into life to comfortably win 7-2.
The U12 team had some tougher matches but also ended up being crowned champions of the day by winning the Grand Final.
Finally, the Senior Girls team came so close to making it through to their first Grand Final but got beaten in a penalty shootout in the semi-final clash against St Phillips.
An amazing effort by all the boys and girls and by their coaches Mr Lambert and Mr Brown. Well done teams.

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 link: GPCC_PRIMARY_REPRESENTATIVE_SPORT_TEAM_SELECTION_PROCESS.pdf
- 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.

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. Students 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.
