Introduction
Welcome to Secondary School at Green Point Christian College! We hope that you will enjoy your
Secondary years and if you are new, that you will quickly come to feel at home in the community
of our College and know that this is your school.
At Green Point Christian College we believe that God has given all people gifts in a variety of
areas and we hope that in your time here He will continue to make your gifts clear to you. Every
student is special and individual and we endeavour to encourage all students in the spiritual,
academic, emotional and physical areas of their lives.
There are many ways that you can become involved in your Secondary years at the College. We
would love to see all students giving their efforts in various areas, whether that may be academic,
literary, sporting, debating, leadership, service, music, art or caring for others. May we encourage
you to apply yourself to the best of your ability in everything you undertake at the College. Hard
work is required to achieve your potential. There are ministry areas in which you can become
involved, such as giving time to help others, giving of your talents in Chapel Time, praying for one
another and involvement in other activities that come up through the year.
This handbook will help you with daily routines and expectations and there is important
information contained here to make your life at school easier. If you have questions or problems
at any time, please make sure that you talk to your Devotions teacher or your Year Advisor for
help. The College also has full time counsellors who are available should you need to deal with
some deeper issues.
There are people who pray regularly for the College and our students. Be encouraged, those
people are praying for you! We trust that you will really benefit from your time here as a member
of our school community.
May God richly bless you in your time here at Green Point Christian College and give you a peace
as you undertake your education in the next few years.

Head of Secondary

Student Behaviour
The following explains the Behaviour Management Policy of the College, which includes common student expectations,
responsibilities and related rules in certain key areas of school life.
Introduction
Discipline starts with the conviction of the school community that certain behaviour is right and certain behaviour is wrong. This
conviction rests firmly on God’s Word, which also provides the benchmark as to the rightness or wrongness of behaviour. It is
then the responsibility of all members of the College community to support one another in encouraging good behaviour and
discouraging bad. Outward conformity to such standards can, and will, be legislated. However, at Green Point Christian College,
discipline is not confined to control of student behaviour; it has a training aspect to it. The goal is that students might willingly
co-operate with our God, who desires to transform us to be more like Him, towards their own self discipline. Such self discipline
needs to be learned and is an intrinsic part of our educational process.
Aspects of our Discipline Process
1. Home-School Partnership
Partnership between home and school is vital, with open two-way communication between home and school being an
important part of this. Further, there is no substitute for consistently applied standards, with all adult members of the
school community modelling correct attitudes and behaviour to students.
2. Teaching
Students are taught what God requires of them and about school procedures and expectations.
3. Planning and Organisation
Effective planning and efficient time management of student activities promotes good discipline. Lack of classroom
organisation is a major catalyst for misbehaviour.
4. Encouragement
Teachers should seek opportunities to encourage students in good behaviour. At Green Point Christian College, the following
methods for encouraging appropriate student behaviour will be employed:
Informal
Non-verbal encouragement methods - eg teacher glance, smile, nod.
Verbal encouragement - eg a “Well done”.
Granting of an in class privilege - eg Use of particular equipment; opportunity to do additional challenging work.
Formal
A system of compliments recognises and encourages positive behaviour and character traits that we value in our school.
(Please see Management of Positive behaviour)
5. Protection
An aspect to be considered at all times is the protection of students from the misbehaviour of others.
6. Prayer
Staff are encouraged to pray for students in all stages of the discipline process.
7. Sanctions
Students must learn that actions have consequences. In order to allow students to connect behaviour with
consequences, staff at Green Point Christian College will ensure that there are consequences which suit the offence.
Sanctioning actions are not just directed at the student concerned. The actions set a tone and a precedent for all
students at the College. Students need to see that justice is carried out and that it is tempered by mercy. The Lord
requires of us that we act justly and love mercy. The “Student Classroom Management Procedure” document
indicates the sanctions that staff at Green Point Christian College are encouraged to use.
Management of Positive Behaviour
Compliments are issued to students for particular actions deserving of commendation. They recognise behaviour we want to
encourage that goes beyond satisfactory expected behaviour of the student.
Some examples may include demonstrating:
• Excellent assignment work
• Consistently demonstrating a strong work ethic in class
• Courtesy

General Uniform Information
Green Point Christian College is committed to maintaining an environment where students recognise that they
are valued and unique individuals, but are also integral members of a community. Within this environment,
students are encouraged to develop their individual talents and gifts and to explore how to use these gifts in
the growth of the community as a whole. One of the ways that students demonstrate their commitment to the
College community is by the wearing of a uniform. It is a visible reminder of the connection and commitment
to the vision and values of the College.
Benefits of wearing a uniform:
• It provides a common standard of appropriate dress that reduces the opportunity for superficial comparisons
to be made.
• It provides a standard of appropriate dress that is modest but functional, therefore removing the opportunity
for others to be negatively impacted eg some clothing items highlight the human body in a sexual way, or
may contain offensive slogans or pictures.
• Provides students with a tangible and positive symbol that they belong to our school community.
• Assists the students in their roles as ambassadors of the College, whether in or out of school
Students are expected to be in formal uniform each day and are to be wearing it appropriately without
modifications. Students are permitted to wear their sports uniform on days where they are involved in:
• Practical PDHPE classes
• Drama classes
• Days they may have a lunch time sport training
Students who have non school sports training after school are expected to wear their formal uniform and make
provisions to change into appropriate clothing after school.
PROCEDURE FOR DEALING WITH UNIFORM ISSUES
Students who present to school with incorrect uniform may be issued with a demerit from a teaching staff
member. Usually uniform will be check at the start of the day in Devotions. Should a student have a situation
where the uniform cannot be worn, then a parental note should be provided on the day with an explanation
and timeframe. This note can be shown to staff members who question the student about their uniform.
When a uniform item cannot be worn for an extended period then a letter should be forwarded to the Year
Advisor.

Traffic Management Plan
For Our Children’s Safety
This Traffic Management Plan, first prepared in 2005, has been revised with the paramount aim of
ensuring the safety of children when they arrive or leave the College. Compliance with this Plan will
also improve traffic flow in peak periods.
1. SPEED LIMIT is strictly 10kph and is a share pedestrian/vehicle area. Please take great care in
the carparkto avoid injury or incident.
2. TRAFFIC WARDENS will be on duty during peak periods to supervise the movement of students
and vehicles. Please follow their instructions.
3. Three PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS, monitored by Traffic Wardens, should be used in order to
promote the safe separation of pedestrians and vehicles.
4. The DROP OFF and PICK UP ZONE allows students to move to and from a supervised, covered
walkway so that drivers can remain in their vehicles.
5. The FLOW LANE enables vehicles to circulate until either a parking space or until the student(s)
in that vehicle can be dropped off or picked up.
6. Please take care when OPENING CAR DOORS as that can injure pedestrians and/or cause
damage to vehicles.
7. The entry after the traffic lights, beside the Church Office should NOT be used between 8.15am
- 9.00am and 2.45pm – 3.30pm.
8. Any PRE-SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN are to be supervised at all times, including holding hands
whenever possible.
9. As is the case on public roads, MOBILE PHONES should not be used whilst driving in the car
park area.
10. Students travelling on BUSES must use the covered walkway when walking to or from buses
and must not use the car park.
11. Observations or suggestions in relation to pedestrian safety and traffic flow are welcome and
should be emailed to aritchie@gpcc.nsw.edu.au
