Uniform is an important part of demonstrating that we belong together and represents who we are as a College. Thank you for partnering with us as we teach our students the importance of respecting these uniform guidelines and being mindful of what they wear to school each day.

Sports Uniform

Most classes have two designated sports days each week. This means that for ALL other days, students should be in their formal uniform.  If students are in their formal uniform, then they are required to wear black leather school shoes as part of this uniform.  Sneakers/sports shoes should only be worn with their sports uniform.

Swimming Kindergarten and Year 1

Last week was our first trip to the swimming pool with Kindergarten and Year 1 for their swimming lessons.  Kindergarten will be attending each Tuesday and Year 1 each Monday for the next six weeks.  Please ensure your child has their towel, swimmers and plastic bag for wet clothes each week.

Samaritan's Purse – Operation Christmas Child

Congratulations to our Primary students on the collection of 177 Operation Christmas Child shoeboxes this year. 5D were very excited to assist in packing the Christmas shoeboxes into the Samaritan’s Purse truck on Thursday morning.  The students prayed for the boxes going to the Philippines and for the children receiving them. They heard stories about children receiving the shoeboxes in developing countries by the Samaritan’s Purse volunteer and Mrs Collins, who has taken groups of GPCC students to Vietnam and Cambodia to distribute OCC shoeboxes.

Every year Samaritan’s Purse delights millions of children around the world by delivering shoebox gifts through the Operation Christmas Child project.  As exciting as it is to bring the joy of Christmas to these children, the story does not end with the shoebox – that is just the beginning.

After receiving shoebox gifts, children are invited back to participate in their discipleship program, “The Greatest Journey”.  Through this 12 lesson course, which includes Bible stories and Scripture memorisation, they learn how to follow Christ in their daily lives as they share Him with friends and family.  More than 23.3 million children have enrolled in this program since 2009.

Thank you to all the families that were involved in packing a shoebox this year.
