Mrs Nicole Smith | Head of Primary 

    Introducing Mrs Kaylie Turner  

    Mrs Turner wears many hats at GPCC. On our Primary Leadership team she is one or our curriculum Co- ordinators. Kaylie also teaches Gifted and Talented students in our Enrichment Department.

    Tell us a little about yourself.
    Do you have any hobbies,
    Kaylie_Turner_2021.jpghidden talents, or play any sports or musical instruments?

    I love travelling, camping and finding amazing new places in the great outdoors. You might also find me hiking, at the beach, curled up with a good book or hanging with my friends. My brother and I started attending Green Point Baptist Christian Community School in 1990, and I was in the first cohort to graduate Year 12 at Green Point Christian College. I loved my time at GPCC as a student and now my whole family are here: Ellia (Year 11), Bryce (Year 9), Jaymin (Year 6) and Kieren (who’s working on graduating Year 6 yet again). I’m the least musical person in my family and it won’t be long until I’m the shortest as well.

    What do you enjoy about teaching?

    I absolutely love teaching small groups. I enjoy the relationships I’m able to develop with my students as I have a front row seat in watching their growth and excitement for learning develop.

    What is your favourite part or verse in the Bible and why?

    A few years ago, I read the ‘Chronological’ Bible over the course of a year. It wasn’t until about the September that I got to the New Testament. By that stage I was so frustrated and extremely ready for Jesus to come and save His people. I knew that He was what the people of God so desperately needed. It changed the way I see the whole Bible. God’s entire story points to Jesus. We just can’t do life as it was intended without Him.   

    At GPCC we have a Graduate Profile – which section of the Graduate Profile interests you most?

    As a Gifted and Talented teacher I should probably say Critical and Creative Thinker, but I’m going to go with Collaborative. I think that we were designed to live and love in community. We learn, we think, we grow more effectively when we work together. I hope that if you came into my classroom, you’d see a community of critically creative collaborators. 

    What do you want our student and parent body to know about you?

    It is my absolute desire to see children reach their full potential and to demonstrate that through serving others, solving problems and understanding their place in the world that’s been entrusted to us. I want our students to know that they are loved, created for a purpose and gifted in order to give. It is such a privilege to work in an environment where I can do that every day.

    Primary School Photos – Tuesday 1 March

    Please ensure that your child is in correct formal school uniform. Hair is to be compliant with School Uniform Policy – tied back for girls using black, red or white ribbons only. Girls may only wear one pair of silver or gold studs or sleepers. Boys in Years 3-6 will not be wearing ties in their class photos.

    If your class has PE or Gross Motor on Tuesday they will be doing this in their formal uniform.

    Kiss and Drop

    Thank you to all our families for your patience and care taken when using our Kiss and Drop zones in the afternoons. Please ensure you have a clear sign of your family name in the left hand side of your windscreen so that we can call your children to be ready for pick up. This is very important especially if someone different eg grandma is picking up students as they often don’t recognise the car.

    After School Pick Up and Buses

    It is important that students are only collected from the areas designated and supervised by teachers. This ensures proper duty of care continues for each child. Please do not arrange to meet primary students on Beatties Road or at the Seven 11, or across the road at Tank Worx, as there is no one there to supervise them and ensure they are safely picked up.
