CSA Survey - Please tell us what you think

We are conducting a survey to better understand the reasons why parents choose to send their children to our school. The Christian Schools Community Profile: WHY PARENTS CHOOSE CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS survey is offered by Christian Schools Australia. It will be conducted amongst all families with children enrolled in participating Christian Schools. It is designed to assist schools in gaining an understanding of parents’ choice of school, their satisfaction with their children’s learning, their engagement in the school community and their general background. Our school will use the survey results to help gain a better understanding of our community, to inform and direct future school planning and improvement strategies.

All GPCC families are invited to participate in the survey which has been
sent to you via email. The survey will be conducted online and will only takes 20 minutes to complete. The survey can be accessed at any convenient time within the fieldwork period on desktop computers, laptops, tablets or smartphones.

All responses to the survey are anonymous. The survey will be conducted from Monday 8 March to Thursday 1 April 2021.

Green Point Christian College will receive the results in June at which point we will share any insights with you. Please do not hesitate to contact Brendan Wood at community@gpcc.nsw.edu.au if you have any general queries about the survey.

"To The Point" Lecture Series

This time last year we launched the "To the Point" lecture series which then had to be postponed due to the onset of COVID-19. We are excited to announce that the "To The Point" lecture series is now returning with our first event at the end of this month.

The "To The Point" lecture series is a program designed to bring the very best academic scholars and lecturers from around Australia to our College for free lectures on a range of stimulating and exciting topics. This is in keeping with our commitment to inspire life-long learners in our school and in our society.

The series is open to everyone on the Central Coast, whether it be parents, students, people from other schools, or even curious individuals from the local community.

For our re-launch of the series we are pleased to be hosting Dr Luke Barnes, a Cambridge University trained astronomer, who will explore the fine-tuned nature of the universe and examine its value and limitations when answering some of the big philosophical and theological questions we have about cosmology.

This will be an exciting lecture designed for all people, whether they have a background in science or not, and an opportunity to learn from a leader in his field. On the night Dr Barnes will deliver a lecture for 1 hour, and then there will be discussion and Q&A for 30 minutes.

We would like to encourage you and your family to come to this free event, with registrations necessary through the link below.
