Farewell to Steve McCarthy
Following our final newsletter for 2020 we said farewell to Stephanie (Steve) McCarthy who retired after over 25 years’ service at Green Point Christian College.
Pictured at our staff breakfast, Steve shared about the vision for the school being raised over dinner in the 1980's, and how the first class was launched in 1982 including two of her children.
Steve began working for the College in May 1995 and fulfilled a number of roles during her tenure including PA to the Principal, Registrar, and more recently as Development Officer overseeing a number of functions in Administration.
Steve has retired to spend more time with her growing family of grandchildren, and to travel enjoying more of this beautiful country our God has provided.
Thank you Steve for your service, faithfulness and dedication to the ministry of GPCC over four decades!
We look forward to hearing more from you in 2022 when we celebrate our 40 Year Anniversary.
Blessings from your GPCC community.
New Entrance Way and Carpark Opening
GPCC is still waiting on the final occupation certificate before we can operate the new driveways and access the new P4 carpark. We envisage this will be very soon but do not want to make any promises about an exact date.
As soon as we have the all clear we will notify the College community and provide updated instructions on traffic flow for morning drop off and afternoon pick-up of students.
Thank you for your patience in this matter, and we are trusting it has all been worth it as we enjoy the additional options for the year ahead.
