Pick-up & Drop-Off Across from College
A reminder to all GPCC and YVCS parents that the area on the other side of Avoca Drive is private property that we are not allowed to use for drop-off or pick-up of students.
Lisa from the coffee van operates from this space in the morning, and we have asked her to report to us when parents are pulling in to drop-off students. We understand there are still 6 to 8 families regularly doing this.
Please note that the owner of the property will be closing access across the entry in the afternoons which should be a clear deterrent for those thinking this is still an acceptable option.
We thank you for adhering to the arrangement in place as you represent the College and School community.
Information Session for 2023 and Beyond
Limited places are still available to enrol for Years K to 4 starting in Term 1 2023.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the school and visit the facilities.
Please register your attendance below and we look forward to meeting you on the day at www.yvcs.nsw.edu.au/visit.
Compassion Coast to Coast Fundraiser
Martin rode 1170kms in 8 days, including one ‘rest’ day at the Gongolgon site where the Principal, Mr Nash and Business Manager Michael Lowbridge were working to prepare for the prospective school opening next year.
The ride to Brewarrina was in preparation for Martin’s upcoming ride in September/October across Australia (Perth to Newcastle and then to Green Point) to raise funds for Compassion’s Vulnerable Children’s Fund. If you would like to support Martin’s efforts, please visit
