Mr Stuart McSwan | K-6 Sport Co-ordinator

Welcome back to our students for 2022. We are looking forward to a great year of sport at GPCC. I’d like to acknowledge the dedication and commitment Mr Nathan Lambert gave to this role for many years.

Primary Swimming Carnival

Our Primary Swimming Carnival will be held on Friday 4 February at Mingara Swimming Pool for students from Years 2 - 6. It will be a great day for our students to be back in the pool, competing for their houses.

Please note that spectators must scan the QR code on arrival. No parents are permitted in the grandstand and must sit outside on the grass area or along the pool deck opposite the grandstand.

Parents who are allocated a job at the carnival may enter the pool area and sign in at reception on arrival. If there are any parents able to assist in lifeguard duties for 25m races, please email Mr McSwan on smcswan@gpcc.nsw.edu.au

See Swimming Carnival letter on Parent Lounge for more details.

GPCC Sport Teams

With sport events resuming in 2022, we are looking forward to sending our teams to a number of Gala Days and competitions in both Primary and Secondary.

Students will have a chance to trial for these school teams over the coming terms and will need to keep a close eye on the notices on when trials are held.

The protocol for team selection is as follows:

Students register their interest in signing up, listing:

Playing experience, including years played
Preferable positions played
Rep experience

Teams have at least 2 trials before final selection
Once teams have been chosen, they will aim to have many training sessions before a competition
