Working with children and teenagers is an interesting career choice. In fact, I did not ever really imagine myself as a teacher because school was not a place I particularly enjoyed. I was home schooled for most of my primary years, then was in a Queensland high school for a year before going to an elite British school in the Solomon Islands where the local students were selected from the brightest and best of the country and I got in simply because I was a foreigner.

After 36 years of being in schools, I now recognise the value and significance of the choice. Investing in the lives of children and young people is a terrific thing to spend your working life doing. It has many challenges, not least of which is not actually the children but sometimes you, the parents. Sorry to have to say it, but on occasion, you are tougher than your children.

I have always believed that the best education comes from school and home working closely together. To help a child move through their formative years and see them equipped to go beyond school and into the rest of life successfully brings great satisfaction.

As we seek to work together at GPCC, it is important we show respect for each other’s roles, experience and knowledge. We need each other for the best to be done for our children. I have enjoyed getting to interact with many GPCC parents and recognise the commitment you all have to see your child get the best. We may sometimes fail to deliver what you hope for, and for that I apologise. But our hearts are to do the best we can for your child, and we are committed to improving and learning to do better.

The children and teenagers in our school are great. We often get asked at enrolment time if we have bullying or drugs or relationship issues in our school. We always say yes, because of course we occasionally do. When you put 1000 children and teenagers together you are going to get some poor behaviour happening – that is the human condition. But I am pleased to say that these things are rare.

Our greatest challenge is in helping students to learn how to relate well together. We live in a world of spiteful and hurtful comments on social media being almost the norm and this spills over into the way children relate to each in the flesh. But this is a great challenge to have. We have opportunity to help them learn a different way of being – to be kind, to be helpful, to be considerate, to be thoughtful and so on.

This comes when they see it modelled by home and school so that we stand out from the virtual world where people hide behind anonymity and facelessness. We want our students to be Godly people who stand up and stand out for what is right and best in humanity. We can help them achieve this as we work together in partnership to equip them for a fruitful life.

Anaphylaxis

We have several students in our school who can, or have a severe life threatening reaction, if exposed to certain foods. To keep them safe we ask that NO nuts or products containing nuts be brought to school. Please ensure you thoroughly check the ingredients of items such as snack bars and spreads to ensure these do not contain nuts.

Students who are anaphylactic have now all been provided with a “Epipen bag”. This bag is taken with them wherever they go on the College campus and when they are off site at a sporting event or excursion.

If you have received an updated allergy or medical plan, it is vital that this information is given to the office to assist us in keeping all of our students safe.

Thank you to all those parents and carers who volunteered to assist. Your details will be kept and we will notify you of dates when they are confirmed for Term 3.

Grade Parents

Each year the College asks for volunteers of parents or carers to take on the role of Grade Parents. This role involves building culture, welcoming new families, administrating the Grade FB page, and rousing enthusiasm for various parent led events throughout the year including School banking and Mothers and Fathers Day stalls. I am sure these parents would love to hear from any of our parent community who can assist with these events throughout the year.

Thank you to the following Grade Parents for being willing to assist in developing a strong connection between families and the College. Your Grade Parents for 2021 are:

KDL: Anna Macken

KJ: Sarah Bates

KG: Linda Macartney

5P: Cinzia Corradetti, Julie Taylor

6T: Sally Ellis

6S: Renae Burling

6M: Jackie Dean  

Grade Facebook Groups

We are aware that many people use Facebook or other social media as a means of quick communication between a large group of people. For this reason, each grade has set up a closed Facebook group. Please ensure that these pages represent the College in a manner that is both respectful and edifying.

Please note that the following guidelines for engaging on the FB Groups. Administrators and the College reserve the right to remove any comments that go against these guidelines. Please click on this link for our GPCC Facebook Guidelines. 

Banking – Helpers needed

The Commonwealth Bank conducts the school banking program at GPCC. This program encourages children to save a little money each week into their Youthsaver account, helping them learn about the value of money and develop a good saving habit.

Students can bring in their money and deposit books each Friday and these can be dropped to the College office Student Admin window.

We would love some helpers to count the money on a Friday morning for about an hour. You would only be rostered on once or twice a term.

Please contact the College office if you are able to assist.

Bus Safety Week 

Students from  K-6 will be participating in Bus Safety Week, where key safety messages around transport by school bus are explored with a visit from Red Bus. More parent information can be found by clicking this link. 

If you have a child that will be starting GPCC in Kindergarten in 2022 please apply via our website as soon as possible Kinder 2022 Enrolment.

If you know of any families who wish to enrol their child in Kindergarten in 2022, please direct them to email our Registrar, or to Book a Tour

Please register for our Kindergarten Information Evening to be held on Tuesday 16 March 2021.

Mr Peter McLellan | Head of Secondary

Relationships are complicated and even more so in a Secondary School setting. Secondary School is a real melting pot of the messiness of life and nothing is clear cut or black and white. So often individuals are so concerned about themselves that they do not see how their words or actions affect those around them, both of which can cut another to the core. Kindness, compassion, forgiveness and gentleness cost nothing, but can allow someone to feel like they belong and can feel that they are seen as worthwhile and valuable. 

In the hard times it is important that we understand our value does not come from others but actually comes from God. The One who values us so much that He would sacrifice so much for us.  It is from this amazing love that we can find the resilience to cope with the messy life that we are all a part of and enable us to build each other up.

• Year 7 HPV and diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis for those who missed first visit;
• Year 8 Catch up HPV and diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis (this is a catch up program for students who returned a consent form in 2020 but missed any of the doses whilst in Year 7);

Dear Parents/Carers

School photographs are scheduled to be taken by Advancedlife Photography. Whilst an envelope and flyer will be distributed, if possible it is our preference that ordering be completed online to reduce administration and potential security issues related
to the return of cash and envelopes on photo day.

Orders for packages and sibling photographs can be placed securely online using our school’s unique nine digit advancedorder code. Portrait and group package orders are due by photography day.

Should you wish to purchase a sibling photograph online, the order must be placed no later than the day before the photography day. Sibling photographs will only be taken if an order has been placed. Sibling photo envelopes are available from reception.

Please ensure that your child/ren are dressed in their formal school uniform in accordance with our Uniform Policy on photo day, if they have PASS, Sport or Gross Motor they will need to bring their PE uniform to change into after school photos. Please click on these links to view our Primary_School_Uniform_Requirements and Secondary_School_Uniform_Requirements.  

NEW

advancedlife now offers Latitude Pay! To take advantage of LatitudePay and split the cost of your order into 10 small easy payments, simply order your school photos online as usual, set up a Latitude Pay account in just a few clicks and pay no interest or fees when you pay according to your payment schedule; it’s that easy.

Three easy ways to purchase:

1. LatitudePay – Click on the link below, set up an account during the online order process and split your payments across 10 weeks with no interest or fees, if you pay on time
2. Visa, MasterCard or PayPal

School photography information:

• Online orders - do not require an envelope returned to school
• Sibling Photos - do not forget to pre-order your sibling photos online up to 24 hours before photo day. We provide the school with a list of sibling orders right up to the day of photography, so no one misses out. If you miss the online order deadline, you can submit a completed sibling order envelope first thing in the morning of the day of photography, so the school is aware you want the photo taken and can bring your children together in time for it. Sibling photographs only apply to children enrolled at GPCC 
• Late fees - a late fee will be applied to each package purchased after photo day due to the additional cost of producing these packages separately
• Package delivery - photographic packages will be returned for distribution approximately six weeks after photos are taken
