School has started well for the year, and I trust that is true for your child, especially if they are here for the first time. I have just returned from the opening of Brewarrina Christian School (a member of our Melos Foundation group of schools). Twelve students from Year 3 – 8 turned up and there was a sense of excitement but also trepidation as they started in a brand-new school as its first students. Green Point Christian College has been instrumental in forming a group of schools in NSW who will work together to support each other. BCS is the newest member of the group.
In the excitement (and trepidation) of a school year commencing, it is still important to keep in mind what the purpose of schooling is. GPCC has a purpose statement that tries to capture what we see schooling is for.
‘The purpose of Green Point Christian College is to equip students for a life of redemptive action through a holistic education grounded in a Biblical perspective’.
This statement is focused on our Christian belief that God created the world and humankind, everything was perfect, and God only required of the first humans that they obey a single command. A test, if you like, of their willingness to submit to his authority as the Creator of life and to live life the way he planned for them. They failed, and so a separation occurred between God, humanity and the creation that led to suffering and decay.
But God has been working out a plan to restore (redeem) humanity and the world. That plan involved Jesus Christ who came to model for us what humanity should be like and to pay the penalty for our forebears’ disobedience. Through faith in Christ, we can be reunited with God, given a fresh start and can set about learning to live as he intended with Jesus as our example.
At GPCC, we teach our students this account of human history and invite them to participate in God’s redemptive plan for the human race and his amazing creation. We want them to grow in understanding and wisdom, so that they may use their gifts in a way that restores the world and blesses others.
I trust that this year, we can see many students embracing this vision of life and growing in Godly character as they do so. In partnership with you, we want to them to flourish in life and be everything God made them to be. This may be a new concept to you so feel free to come and talk to us about what this looks like.
Remember that as we partner together in education, coming to talk to us early is important as we work out any issues or problems your child may be experiencing. Our door is always open and we will do our best to help your child have a positive experience at GPCC.
Phillip Nash
Principal
As we welcome many new families to our College it is important for all students to feel safe and supported. A sense that we belong, we fit, and we have a place, assists us in feeling a part of a new setting or culture. Research shows that school uniform plays an important part in the engagement of pupils within the school, in promoting a sense of identity, belonging and connectedness to school.
Across both Primary and Secondary we are asking students to fix the parts of their uniform that are not in line with our policy and you can assist with this. Get to know your child’s timetable and ensure that they only wear sport on the days they have PDHPE. Check your child’s shoes and ensure that these along with hats and socks and jumpers are correct. Students should only be wearing sneakers with the sports uniform and leather school shoes with the formal uniform. All students should have a hat. Long hair must be tied up. The correct uniform guidelines are found on our web page in the handbook.
Swimming Time Trials
Many of our students participated in a wonderful Swimming Time trial event. HUGE congratulations to Mr McSwan for his flexibility and organisation and to all of our teachers who remained on duty until 7:00pm to run this event. Several records were broken and many students achieved PB’s. Thank you also to our amazing parent body who assisted with all the jobs that go into making these events a success.
New afternoon Parking Space K-2
To alleviate the pressure on Avoca Drive, each afternoon the college has allocated several free carpark spaces on the 7-Eleven side of P3. These spaces are for parents to wait until the Kiss & Drop line starts moving, or to park and collect your children if this is your preference.
Please also remember that Gate 2 is for Little Coasties drop-off and pick-up only, and for Church staff/visitors and should not be used by GPCC families during this busy time.

Raising Kids in a Digital World 2023 Webinar
Date: Thursday 23 February
Time: 7.30pm (90min)
As a College we see the need to not only equip our students but also our parents as they raise the next generation. To that effect we have invested in an opportunity for all out parents to participate in a webinar focused on Raising Kids in a Digital World.
I strongly encourage all parents to register for this 90 minute course on Thursday 23 February. By registering you will also unlock the ability to replay the webinar at a later date. An email has been sent to all parents on how to register for this webinar.
Mr Steve Lobsey | Head of Secondary
In last week’s newsletter I spoke about GPCC having high expectations for our students, but not ones which are difficult to achieve. In assembly this week I applied this to wearing of the uniform. Wearing the unform well is something simple which every student can do.
Wearing a uniform is important for many reasons. At GPCC it is a symbol of us all belonging to one community and helps students identify with each other and their school. The wearing of a uniform each day shows our students growing in their self-discipline, which is an important part of their character. A uniform takes away the pressure students would feel to decide what to wear each day and removes the negative impacts of comparisons to their peers. Learning to do little things well, such as wearing the uniform, has a positive impact on student development that can carry into other parts of their academic, sporting, social and personal pursuits.
In assembly I compared the uniform rules to a 60km/h speed limit sign. It is not a recommendation or guide. It is not something we only follow when being watched. It is not something which we can ignore if other people are not doing the right thing. Students have a responsibility to follow the rules, which like the 60 sign, are there for a good reason.
As a new member of the community, I found myself going to the Uniform Policy to clarify some things I was not sure of. If you go to: https://www.gpcc.nsw.edu.au/enrolment/uniform and click the tab which says 'Uniform Policy', you can find the information there.
Some things which we are focussing on are listed below. It would be wonderful if you could be working with us to ensure your child is meeting these expectations:
- Boys having shirts tucked in
- Boys being clean shaven
- Girls having skirts the correct length (2cm above the knee)
- Girl’s jewellery, which allows girls to wear:
- A watch.
- One pair of either gold or silver studs or sleepers in the lobe.
- One fine chain (under blouse – not visible).
- One silver or gold ring.
- Discreet cosmetics (natural skin tones). This includes no false eyelashes and clear nail polish only.
- No bracelets.
- Both boys and girls wearing black low profile polishable lace up leather shoes, fully enclosed and protecting the foot. Note that this does not allow for black joggers, slip on shoes or any type of canvas shoes.
Some of these things, such as jewellery and tucked in shirts can be fixed immediately. Students were told they had until Monday 13 February to fix other issues, for example, if they needed to let down the hem of a skirt or purchase a new one; or buy the correct shoes. Just like going too fast past a speed camera, next week students who are not meeting these simple but high expectations will be receiving penalties.
Finally, just to reinforce my heart for this – while the majority of the words above relate to uniform, the focus of what I have written is actually not on uniform. My focus is on our students building in their character and maturity by learning to do the right thing, to meet expectations, to develop self-discipline, to show commitment to be part of our community and to demonstrate respect for the school, their teachers and themselves. These are all positive attributes which will help our students to succeed at school and beyond.

Mr Stuart McSwan | K - 6 Sport Co-ordinator
Thank you to all the competitors, parents and teachers for making our very first GPCC Primary Swimming Time Trial such a success. I know it was a different format this time around, but it was wonderful to see so many great performances in the pool.
We look forward to taking a strong squad to the THACCCSA Zone Swimming Carnival on February 16 in Newcastle where many children will have the chance to showcase their skills once more.
A huge congratulations to Reef M for breaking two 20-year records in the 12+ years boys 50m Freestyle with a time of 31.28 and in the 12+ years boys 50m Backstroke with a time of 36.55. Amazing effort Reef. A future Olympian in the making!
