I want to follow on from my message to you a couple of weeks ago when I spoke a little about the academic focus of GPCC. This last week we had the first meeting of our newly formed Academic Committee.
The members of this Committee are myself as Chair, the Heads of School, Mr Lobsey and Mrs Smith, the Director of Enrichment, Mrs Brown, the Director of Teacher Development, Mrs Fordyce and our Director of Research, Dr Martin Dowson. We have developed a terms of reference for the committee and held our first meeting to finalise those and set a program for work over the coming weeks.
The Committee has the overarching goals of:
- Raising the academic standards and expectations for all our students
- Developing alternative pathways of those who are not focused on university immediately following school graduation and
- Implementing our core purpose and ensuring our graduate profile elements are embedded in all we do
In practical terms the Committee will work to ensure that the following types of actions are being taken across the school:
- Establishing a teaching and learning framework for GPCC
- Establishing benchmarks for academic achievement and ensuring system are in place to support staff to achieve those
- Reviewing the academic results each year and ensuring actions for improvement are taken
- Monitoring the academic progress of students and establishing intervention systems for support and extension
- Increasing the capacity and capability of teaching staff
- Ensuring connections between curricular and co-curricular programs
- Ensuring academic and wellbeing programs support each other
Alongside this I am pleased to announce that our Director of Research (previously called our Academic in Residence), Dr Martin Dowson, is leading an initiative to see GPCC develop a research culture. We have a research project coming up with Macquarie University and have opportunity for a closer working relationship with them. Dr Dowson is a professional researcher and is already assisting senior students with the development of research skills. He will continue with this and help our teachers as well to engage in research that will enhance and inform academic initiatives. Our Mathematics department is also working with Dr Dowson on a project this year.
I trust this gives you some assurance of the value of academics for us as a College. If we are to equip students for a flourishing life, then this is one of the ways we will help that to happen.

We are calling for volunteers for some simple sewing, straight stitching for Wakakirri costumes.
Sewing packs will be put together by Mrs McKeown ready to take home.
The more sewers we can get the less work. Please contact rmckeown@gpcc.nsw.edu.au if you are able to assist.

Ripples Central Coast Writers Festival
On Friday 2 June, Years 5 and 6 Extension English students attended ‘Ripples’ at Umina Surf Live Saving Club. This event is part of the annual Central Coast Writers’ Festival, 'Words On The Waves'.
The students enjoyed presentations by Australian authors Samantha Tidy (The Day We Built The Bridge), Craig Silvey (Runt), Nat Amooreand and Mike Barry (We Run Tomorrow).
Sam talked about the history of the Harbour Bridge, and challenged the students to build a truss bridge from toothpicks and mini marshmallows.
Craig shared excerpts from his novel, explained the importance of developing characters before writing a story and answered numerous questions from the students.
Nat and Mike finished off the day with some humorous stories and explained the collaborative process behind their latest novel/graphic novel hybrid. They shared the essential ingredients for a graphic novel: moments and momentum.
The students enjoyed a lunch break at Umina Recreation Precinct. They also waited patiently for authors’ autographs and some special photo opportunities.
Thanks, Mr Brown for joining us for the excursion.

Secondary Musical - Camp Rock
The Secondary musical is coming up at the end of June. Please see 'Community' section of this newsletter for dates and how to book tickets.
Mr Steve Lobsey | Head of Secondary
The focus is on improvement.
No one at GPCC is perfect and there is no expectation on anyone to be perfect. We all make mistakes and while sometimes this is through poor decision making, the hope is that we are able to move past our mistakes and learn from them.
When students make mistakes, it is important that we help them in the process of learning. Sometimes, consequences are put in place for students who do the wrong thing. Our intention is never to punish students for their actions. Rather, we want them to reflect on what happened and what they could do differently in the future. We want students to be equipped for life by helping them on their journey in how they treat others, show respect to the school and present themselves.
By making small improvements as they go, students will develop and grow into the people God has made them to be.
Tickets are now on sale for our Secondary school production, 'Camp Rock – The Musical'.

Years 9 and 10 Visual Arts Excursion to Brewarrina
Years 9 and 10 Visual Arts travelled to Brewarrina from Wednesday 31 May to Saturday 2 June. Students experienced the unique environment of the outback landscape and represented it in various artmaking activities. A highlight was joining the students from Brewarrina Christian School by the river in their Chapel service, followed by a shared artmaking activity. There was also a tour of the fish traps in town; the students learnt to weave with foraged fibres, created art in the dark around a bonfire and met the newest member of the Turner family, Oxley, the goat. It was a unique and highly valuable experience.

Touring the site, interviewing the curators and exploring the artefacts to gain an understanding of how history is constructed. The purpose of the visit was to investigate the process and challenges around conveying meaning in history and the value of local museums.

Senior Boys Soccer
On Tuesday we competed in the Senior Metro Cup Competition in Tamworth. The team drew 0-0 in their first game and then progressed to the semi-finals after winning 4 games straight.
The boys won the semi-final and laced up for the 7th time to play Wyong Christian School in the grand final. It was a nail-biting affair with plenty of action and skill on display. Unfortunately, Wyong scored with 2 minutes to go with the final score 1-0. Understandably the GPCC were disappointed after leaving nothing on the pitch and I was exceptionally proud of their effort throughout the day. It was a privilege to coach them.
A big thanks to all the boys and their parents for bringing them out to Tamworth. Thank you to Anthony Burling for assisting with coaching and warming the boys up. A special thanks to Mr McSwan who organised the day and Mr Moody who selected the team and trained them in the lead up to the day.
Finally, I am thankful God for blessing the day with perfect weather, good sportsmanship, safety and an opportunity for the boys to display their talents.
Mr Cantor - Senior Boys’ Coach




Junior Soccer Team
The Junior team gathered at Gipps St Sporting Fields Tamworth on Tuesday for a warmer than expected shot at the Zone Metro Cup title. This event was cancelled last year due to poor weather, so it was nice to have an opportunity to play some games of soccer again.
The team made a conservative start with a 1-1 draw against old foes Wyong, followed by more convincing wins against Mid Coast (6-0), Carinya (2-0), Hunter (7-0) and Coast (4-0). These solid performances meant that the team finished top of their Pool and would meet Maitland in the semi-final for a place in the GF.
Maitland played well but could not keep a clean sheet for long with our team scoring some quick goals going on to win 4-0.
Appropriately we would meet Belmont in the GF as they had finished top in their Pool too. They had some good players and had deserved their spot in the final as did we. As expected, the game was very tight with excellent passing, tackling all round good soccer skills on display from both teams. It was a screamer from GPCC that broke the deadlock early in the second half followed by another well-constructed goal soon after to make it 2-0. This forced Belmont to go all out in attack and we defended stoically until a free kick was awarded and a nicely placed shot gave Belmont a goal. Some wonderful saves form our keeper and determination from the outfield players in the end resulted in a tight 2-1 win and the title of Junior Team Metro Cup 2023 winners. We now look forward to competing at State on Thursday 27 July.
Well done to the entire team Sidney V, Nash P, Max F, Enzo R, Luke P, Jad A, Tommy B, Avery G, Saoirse CD, Sebastian J, Zac G and James C (GK).
Mr McSwan
Junior Girls Netball Team
On Tuesday the Junior girl's netball team travelled to Tamworth to play in the Metro cup. In the lead up to the tournament the girls trained hard and showed great enthusiasm to do their best. Their hard work paid off, as they played extremely well against some strong competition. The girls played wonderfully as a team and had a great time representing our school. The girls were very impressive in their 5 games, showcasing their netball abilities and winning each game. We ended the day as Champions with a win in the Grandfinal to Belmont Christian College. Thank you to the parents who drove down, watched each game and helped out on the day! Well done to Lucy, Miranda, Grace, Chloe, Emily, Alice, Annabella, Josie, Sophie and Samara on a fantastic day.




Senior Girls Netball Team
The Senior Girls Netball team were amazing when they played in Tamworth on Tuesday. The sun was out for a beautiful day of netball and the girls played 4 Pool matches going through undefeated with some dominant displays against Taree, Wyong, Hunter and Gunnedah. Throughout the games, the girls displayed not only their remarkable skills but also their unwavering enthusiasm, positive attitude, and unwavering support for one another. These performances meant they finished on top of their Pool and would meet Charlton in the Semi.
It was a tight contest from the first whistle, but the girls showcased their strength and were rewarded with another win. This then saw the Seniors come up against Belmont in the Grand Final, who had breezed past opponents up until this point. In a hard-fought match, the girls took the lead initially, but then Belmont clawed their way back into the game. Eventually the determined, but tired GPCC team were defeated, with the final score being 15-16.
It was a privilege to coach these girls and their humility and sportsmanship in each game were truly remarkable. They demonstrated respect for their opponents and officials. I look forward to seeing them continue to excel in Netball in the future. Well done Isabelle A, Grace B, Lily D, Amelia D, Ruth G, Isla J, Penny L, and Chelsea S. A big thank to all the parents who made the trip to Tamworth and cheered the girls on in every game.




CIS Primary Girls Basketball
Congratulations to Mia D who spent last week in Tamworth competing with the CIS basketball team at the PSSA tournament. The CIS team came 3rd in the pool. They came 5th in the tournament overall and the girls were awesome.

Individual Sport Trials for Primary CSSA and CIS Teams
These trials are not for GPCC school teams that we trial here at school to play at certain gala days throughout the year (as mentioned above). The CSSA or CIS trials are usually held in Sydney and students will be trialling against students from either other Christian Schools (CSSA) or other Independent Schools (CIS) and are usually recommended for those students that compete at a representative level.
Please email Mr McSwan before these dates if your child (Years 5 and 6 only) would like to be considered. They need to be currently playing in the sport and have several years’ experience (preferably at a Representative level): Parents are required to transport students to and from these trials.

CIS Cross Country
Congratulations to all our Secondary School CIS Cross Country runners who competed on Thursday 8 June at Horsley Park.
Big shout out to five of our Year 12 students (Eloise, Angelique, Wade, Sinaed and Ondine) competing at CIS Cross country yesterday. How amazing to have five of our Year 12 students competing at this level with all the HSC pressure and schoolwork to juggle. Congratulations to them as it takes many hours of training and commitment.
Special mention to Wade B (Year 12), placing 5th in 17yr Boys.




THACCCSA Soccer Gala Day - Tamworth
On Friday 2 June Green Point Christian College students participated in the Zone Soccer Day in Tamworth. The day started with an early 5:00am leave time. (I would like to thank the parents for supporting their children’s hobbies and dropping them off).
All students competed incredibly throughout the day with many teams making the Grand Finals.
The Junior Girls team had a heavy first game, coming off with a loss. They managed to turn this around and make the Grand Final. The girls managed to find the strength to push the Charlton team all the way to penalty shootout. Unfortunately, they were beaten but this was a great effort.
The Junior Boys 1 Team played well the whole day. They managed to avoid conceding a goal the entire day and won the Grand Final convincingly allowing them to retain the shield for a consecutive year.
The Junior Boys 2 Team also managed to make the Grand Final after finishing second in their group matches. They fought hard but with fatigue setting in, the Wyong team proved to strong for them leaving our boys to go down 3-0 in the Grand Final.
The Senior Boys team had a strong group stage and convincingly made the semi-finals. Unfortunately for them, the Wyong Senior team came ready for this semi-final match and managed to outcompete our Boys to eliminate them.
The Senior Girls were pushed onto the back foot from the get go. With news that their coach unfortunately could not make it, the girls were left to run the team as best they could. Looming injuries also meant that the girls would have to dig in deep for the whole day. Unfortunately, this task was too great and the Senior Girls were unable to make it past the group stages.
All students had a great day and competed to the best of their ability. We look forward next year when many of our teams will get another shot at the titles. Good luck to our junior boys who will be competing at the next stage in a couple of weeks to attempt to become CIS Champions.
Mr Yule

Kylie has been sacrificial with her time and has persevered through her own sickness in order to see that the students’ education continued while their teacher was away.

Green Point hosting AECG Meeting
On Wednesday 14 June GPCC are hosting the Tjudibaring Aboriginal Educational Consultancy Group. Principals, teachers, and families from Central Coast Primary and Secondary schools will be attending. Afternoon tea is provided at 4.30pm in the library. The meeting starts at 5.00pm. All Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families and other interested parties are invited.
My Christian School
Christian schools are different. It’s this difference that is the reason why you choose to send your children to Green Point Christian College.
Christian schools also make a difference. According to the Cardus Education Survey, graduates of Christian schools:
- Feel better prepared to find meaning, purpose and direction in life
- Are more likely to volunteer with organisations that help the elderly and care for the environment
- Are more likely to belong to a trade union or political party
This difference isn’t an accident. The gospel shapes our lives with an eternal purpose, transforms our relationships and compels us to love our neighbours (and even our enemies).
At the heart of this difference is the authentic faith of our teachers and staff. But some “experts” don’t value this difference. They want to take away the ability of schools like ours to be able to hire teachers and staff who not only believe but also live these life-changing values.
In December, the Australian Law Reform Commission will be making some recommendations to the Australian Government that could have big changes to the future of our school.
My Christian School is a new grassroots movement of Australians who believe in the difference Christian schools make. Green Point Christian College is a part of this movement and your help is needed to pass on this difference for future generations.
Please visit the My Christian School website https://mychristianschool.au/ and sign-up to show your support. Together, we can preserve the precious difference of Christian schools.
