Kiss and Drop Zone 3 for K-2 will be closed for beginning of Term 4
The College is currently installing a cantilever cover for the K-2 Kiss and Drop Zone 3 which was scheduled for the school holidays but due to delays in materials will now be undertaken during the first part of Term 4. When completed this cover will provide sun and rain protection for students waiting for pick-up in the afternoons.
Due to the delay in installation the area will remain closed to staff and students for the beginning of Term 4. This means we need to temporarily relocate Primary drop-off and pick-up back to the original Kiss and Drop Zone in the main carpark. We reiterate that to begin with this temporary change only effects those who need to have their children at school for the start of Term 4.
Site fencing will remain in place at Kiss and Drop Zone 3 during construction to ensure students and staff are not able to access the area.
If the installation is not completed by the time all students return to school in late October and early November, we will then communicate a further update to drop-off and pick-up arrangements.
Once installation for Kiss and Drop Zone 3 is completed we will revert back to the normal pick-up and drop-off arrangements for K-2.
Please direct any questions regarding this change to community@gpcc.nsw.edu.au

Additional Year 3 Class for 2022
Enrolments for Year 3 have been so strong for the coming year, that Green Point Christian College are pleased to announce we are opening a third stream for 2022.
Limited places are now available, and we would love you to share this news with anyone you know who might like to be part of this exciting Year group.

Exiting the Gate 4 Roundabout
The recent addition of the P4 parking area and Gates 3 and 4 exits have brought great relief to the College parking and access options. However, we have observed that when the traffic is flowing fast in the morning, or is built up in the afternoon, crossing the two lanes of traffic at the Gate 4 roundabout can take some time to gain access onto Avoca Drive.
Therefore, for safety reasons we are encouraging those exiting P4 and heading towards Kincumber to exit from the top exit (Gate 4). For those heading to Saratoga/Davistown or Green Point we recommend driving down to the new main entrance (Gate 3) to exit there.
As always, we encourage our families to be conscious of other drivers on the road and to show respect and courtesy whilst exiting the school property.
