College Band

Music is a big part of the life at GPCC.

If you are a beginner or a more experienced musician, private music lessons are available with our qualified tutors. 

We encourage our students to join one of our school bands, either the Junior School Band for Years 3 to 6 or the College Band for Years 7 to 12.

There will be an information evening soon, stay tuned.

For more info, please email our band director, JP Fleury at band.director@gpcc.nsw.edu.au

Library Refurbishment 

The students were excited to explore their upgraded Library last week.  Students, parents and staff were very positive in their feedback.  Library use has already increased as a result.  We would like to thank project leaders Abax Kingfisher, the Library staff and our hardworking Green Team for the amazing work they put in to have our Library ready for the new school year. I t was an ambitious undertaking and the results are outstanding.

Green Point Trader

FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES AT GREAT PRICES: Last December a group started up to buy fruit and vegetables, as well as good bread and a few groceries direct from farmers (for the fruit and veg) or wholesalers.  It is through Box Divvy - named because we order full boxes of fruit and vegetables that are at their freshest and share (divvy) them between us.  Prices generally work out cheaper than supermarkets (plus you save money on less impulse buys at the supermarket!) and the farmer gets more of it (66 cents in the dollar goes to the farmer, compared with more like 33 cents from produce at supermarkets).  It is great for the environment too, as there is minimal packaging and reduced food miles - where possible the fruit and veg are grown in the Sydney Basin or  on the Central Coast, although to have a good range available produced is sourced further away when necessary.  Our combined order will be delivered to Erina on Tuesdays where you can pick it up or I can bring a limited number of boxes to school pick up on Tuesday afternoon.

For more information, go to Facebook and search Box Divvy Erina, or text/call me on 0402 463 058. There is a lot of information on the Facebook page.

There is also a group at Woy Woy.  Search Box Divvy Woy Woy on Facebook or ask me by phone/text.
