At GPCC, we believe that learning is not just about acquiring knowledge, it’s about becoming the person God has created each of us to be. From a Christian perspective, studying diligently is a meaningful way to honour God, serve others, and prepare ourselves to live a life of redemptive action,  to make a difference in the world.

In Colossians 3:23, the Apostle Paul writes, “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters.” This verse reminds us that our efforts, whether in the classroom, on the sports field, or at home should reflect our desire to glorify God. Applying yourself to your studies, then, is not about chasing grades or competing with others, but about doing your best in response to God’s goodness.

God has given each student unique gifts, abilities, and opportunities. Jesus told the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14–30) to illustrate that we are entrusted with responsibility. When we apply ourselves to our studies, we are being faithful stewards of the minds and talents He has given us. This doesn’t mean being perfect—but it does mean being willing, persevering, and giving our best.

Congratulations to Scarlett S – Premier’s ANZAC Memorial Scholar

We are incredibly proud to announce that Scarlett, one of our outstanding secondary students, has been selected as a 2025 Premier’s ANZAC Memorial Scholar. Scarlett is one of just 20 students across NSW awarded this prestigious scholarship from over 150 applicants.

As part of the program, Scarlett will travel on an international history tour to the Republic of Korea and Singapore during the Term 3 school holidays. The tour will visit significant war history sites, including the Battle of Kapyong in Korea and the Changi Prison Chapel and Museum in Singapore.

Scarlett’s selection followed a rigorous application process involving a personal essay and a recommendation from the school, reviewed by educators, government representatives, and historians. Her achievement is a testament to her dedication, curiosity, and passion for history.

Scarlett will be formally welcomed at the ANZAC Memorial in July, where she’ll meet fellow scholars, veterans, and the tour historian, and begin her preparations for this life-shaping experience.

Secondary Uniform Update

At GPCC, our uniform reflects not only our school identity but also the values we uphold, respect, and a commitment to excellence. We kindly remind all secondary students and families to ensure uniforms are worn correctly and in full each day.
