What is your purpose?
That question is one that sits at the heart of our human existence. It is a question that can consume a lifetime, with many people that really struggle to answer it.
At the heart of the question is really what it means to be human: why am I here and for what purpose do I exist? No wonder it can often feel overwhelming.
In contemporary western society, we are also often left to wrestle with this question in isolation. The world around us often screams with obnoxious forces at what we should be looking for: fame, wealth, comfort, success, to name but a few. The loudest voices proclaim that we are individuals and the ‘highest authority’ in our own lives, so we ultimately need to be able to find our purpose on our own. However, as Curt Thompson suggests in his book Anatomy of the Soul, as individuals we are often not particularly good at knowing ourselves. We can often be a poor judge of who we are, what we are good at and by extension we are not that great as individuals at working out what our purpose should be.
Curt Thompson affirms that we learn to know ourselves and our purpose best through being known by others and participating in community. This reality provides a wonderful opportunity for a place like Green Point Christian College.
Here at Green Point, we deeply believe that we are have all been created by God, in His image. It is God that gives us our purpose. He shared it with us in the opening chapters of the Bible. It was to be in relationship with God, to be fruitful, to increase and to steward and care for the earth. Unfortunately, we humans quickly rejected God and tried to take our own path, to find our own purpose. As we read in the Bible and experience in our own lives, this has not gone well. However, God persisted with us and sent Jesus to redeem and restore all things back to Himself. To help bring everything back in line with the original purpose.
Our College purpose aligns with this idea, ‘to equip students for a life of redemptive action through a holistic education grounded in a Biblical perspective.’
Here at Green Point Christian College, we want to help our students to find their purpose within our Creators purpose for us. We want them the be equipped for life and all that means for us in the 21st Century. We want them to be literate, numerate and digitally literate. We want them to be able to learn to locate themselves geographically, historically, linguistically, artistically, culturally across the depth and breadth of their lifelong learning journey. We want them to have deep understanding of the skills and concepts they learn, so they can cultivate both knowledge and wisdom. We cultivate all these things so that they might be able to lead lives of redemptive action. Redemption is about taking what is broken, hurting or out of place and taking steps to make it right. We seek to support our students to be healers, creators, improvers and restorers in our community and in the world.
Living a life of redemptive action requires real levels of understanding, knowledge, and most of all wisdom. It is a worthy purpose and one that I commend not just to our students but to all of us as a community. Finding and fulfilling our purpose is strengthened by being together.

Student of the Week Awards

In a 1994 documentary, Nelson Mandela said "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it.". If we do something which we find easy, we don’t need courage to be able to do it. Some people need courage to swim in the ocean, to try a new sport or to speak in front of a crowd. Other people can do all three with no feelings of fear and therefore don’t need courage to do them.
This week I spoke at our assembly about my own fearful situation I dealt with last year, and how God very obviously communicated Joshua 1:9 to me – “Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.” It is a story not easily told in writing but you could ask your child about how this was spoken to me.
The first part of this verse is a command to not be fearful – to be strong and courageous. But how can you do that? How can you not be afraid, when you are afraid? The second part of the verse gives the answer – because God is with you in your challenges. If I know that the One who created the universe is on my team, I know there is nothing I cannot overcome.
We are going to be using courage as a theme of this term. In assembly, we will be looking at different ways in which courage comes up in school life.

GPCC Primary Swimming Carnival
Thank you to all the competitors, parents, teachers and House Captains for making our GPCC Primary Swimming Carnival such a success. It was wonderful to see so many great performances in the pool and hear encouraging chanting and cheering from each House too.
We look forward to taking a squad to the THACCCSA Zone Swimming Carnival on Thursday February 22 in Newcastle where many children will have the chance to showcase their skills once more. I aim to confirm the team for this event by early next week.
A huge congratulations to Cleo M for breaking a record for the 8-year girls 50m Breaststroke with a time of 56.18. What a great achievement from Cleo. Well done!
Once House points and Age Champion positions have been calculated, medals will be presented at Chapel in the coming weeks.

GPCC Sport Teams
We are looking forward to sending our teams to a number of Gala Days and competitions in Primary this year.
Students will have a chance to trial for certain school teams over the coming terms and will need to keep a close eye on the notices and listen out for Assembly announcements for when trials will be held.
The protocol for team selection is as follows:
- Teams have at least 2-3 trials before final selection.
- Unfortunately, it is simply not possible for all children who trial to be included in final teams. It is not uncommon for 60 students to trial for a team that only has 10 spots available.
- Once teams have been chosen, they will aim to have at least one training session each week before a competition.
Individual Sport Trials for Primary CSSA and CIS Teams (NOT GPCC teams)
These trials are not for GPCC school teams that we trial for 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 Nomination 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.
