NNSW Maitland Futsal Competiton
Green Point Christian College has performed very well at Futsal competitions over the years. We have won a number of Regional competitions and have even notched up a couple of State titles.
It has been a couple of years since our last competition and our four teams (Junior Boys, Senior Girls and two x Senior Boys teams) were looking forward to this challenge.
Our Junior Boys won their Finals in a penalty shoot out.
Our Senior Girls team made it all the way to the final, losing to Charlton by 3 - 1.
Our two x Senior Boys teams from different pools met in the semi finals, with Team 1 progressing to the finals defeating Charlton 3-2 to become Regional Champions.
Like the Junior Boys, the Senior Boys were also Regional Champions. Both of these teams, and the Senior Girls, have now qualified for the State Futsal Championships at the end of June.
We wish our teams all the best and well done to everyone for a great tournament.

Central Coast Regional Paul Kelly Cup
Our Primary Senior Boys AFL team, who last month convincingly won their first AFL competition, qualified for the Finals of the Paul Kelly Cup.
They played three round games, winning two easily and pushed in the third against Central Coast Adventist School, where they narrowly won the game. Finishing at the top of their pool meant that they now qualified for the Final, which would be up against the Adventist School again.
The Final was a close game but our boys were just too strong, kicking some vital points and eventually taking the game 9-2.
Congratulations to our boys, who are the first Primary AFL team to win the Central Coast Regional Paul Kelly Cup.
CIS Primary Boys Rugby Union Trials
Competing at CIS Trials can be very challenging. We have had many students represent our school at a number of trials this year and this past week three more students competed at the CIS Rugby Union trials.
Isaac J, Mitchell R and Jacob L all travelled down to Sydney and played a number of games. They also went through a variety of drills aimed at demonstrating their skills and experience at the game.
Well done to the three boys for having a great day, enjoying this challenging experience and for representing our school so proudly.
Hunter Schools Mountain Bike Competition
Last week some Secondary students travelled north to compete in a wet and slippery Hunter Schools XCO Mountain Bike competition.
On a tough course when dry, things were going to get very challenging with the rain falling for the second time at a mountain bike competition.
Our team competed very strong and had some great results in a field of over 123 competitors:
- Tom G 27th place
- Caleb S 30th place
- Ryan M 40th place
- Damian S 56th place
- Joshua R 66th place
- Kabane L 72nd place
- Bryce T 73rd place
- Daniel Van B 104th place
- Micah J 113th place
Excellent effort boys.
Secondary THACCCSA Netball Gala Day
On Tuesday 25 May, students from the Secondary School attended the THACCCSA Netball Gala Day in Charlestown. We were represented by four teams: Senior Girls Division 1 (coached by Mrs Raeside), Senior Girls Division 2 (coached by Mrs McMahon), Junior Girls Division 1 (coached by Mrs Stewart) and Senior Boys (coached by Mr Masters). It was fantastic to watch students cheer on their teammates from the sidelines and I am so proud of the way they conducted themselves on and off the court. Netball Gala days are always highly competitive with some tough competition and our students put forward their best effort all day.
Senior Girls Division 1 had a sensational day, going through undefeated and winning the Grand Final in a nail biter. Senior Girls Division 2 won two of their games, with much excitement and joy as a result. Junior Girls Division 1 won three out of their five games, losing two narrowly. Senior Boys unfortunately could not pull a win, but they learnt some new skills along the way, and it was encouraging to see them keep on trying all day. Thank you to all competitors who gave it their all and had fun along the way. Mrs Raeside
