Kindergarten 2021
Welcome to Green Point Christian College
We are pleased that you have decided to partner with us, as we provide the very best spiritual,
academic, social, physical and emotional school community for your child. It is our desire that your
child and family feel welcome and supported, as you join our College Family.
At GPCC we recognise that these formative years provide students with the vital opportunity to build
confidence and skills as a learner. Students will commence their journey in understanding themselves,
how they learn and the learning process. Deep understanding is achieved through quality teaching,
the establishment of meaningful relationships, exposure to a broad curriculum and a rich array of co-
curricular activities.
We know that there is an inextricable link between maximising a student’s progress and the pursuit of a
holistic education, and we are passionate about making learning a journey that is intrinsically rewarding.
In creating this culture, students are more likely to thrive as a natural response to their interests and
passions. We also strive to develop sophisticated learners who are able to think critically and creatively
and apply their knowledge meaningfully in different contexts.
With well-qualified teachers creatively delivering lessons, through a biblical worldview lense we are
building firm foundations in establishing life long learners.
So welcome to the beginning of an exciting 13 year learning journey for your child, partnering together
as parents with the College community.

Preparing your child for school
Starting school is an exciting milestone for your child and family. All of you will be experiencing changes
as your child settles into a new learning environment, develops new friendships, and spends time with
new teachers.
Preparing your child for their transition to school prepares them for future learning and development.
How can you help prepare your child for beginning school?
• Talk positively and confidently about starting and attending school. Share with your child how
learning will be fun. Involve them in cooking and playing games.
• Speak with your child about some of the changes that will occur in their daily routine. Pack their
lunch in a lunch box and practice opening packaging for snacks.
• Read books together about starting school. Visit our story time sessions in the School Library.
• Encourage habits that will help at school including putting toys away, waiting their turn, dressing
themselves and listening and following instructions.
• Develop family routines at home to support your child’s learning at school, eg read with your child
each night, establish a good bed time and morning routine before school begins.
How can you help your child settle into school?
The following suggestions may help you to support your child to settle comfortably and confidently into
school:
• Say goodbye confidently – saying a quick, confident goodbye with a reassurance you will pick them
up may help them to feel secure and reassured that you trust that they will be okay at school.
• Label your child’s belongings - labelling everything, including clothing, can help reduce anxiety for
children, school staff and you.
• Communicate with your child – take time to tell your child what might be happening at school that
day, and in the afternoon, ask your child about their day.
• Avoid overloading your child – when children begin school, they tire easily. It may be worth
considering fewer extracurricular activities such as swimming, music or dance lessons, until they
adjust to their new routine.

Learning in Kindergarten
The Key Learning Areas (KLAs) set out by the NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) and adopted by
Green Point Christian College with a Christian perspective are taught in all grades, including Kindergarten.
Our teachers have developed high quality programs that focus on the cognitive engagement of students,
so that they can be active and engaged learners. Explicit teaching outlines clear directions and goals in
each lesson. Lessons are presented in a manner that develops creativity, critical thinking and problem-
solving skills, using a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset. Our teachers construct lessons
around skill development in areas such as problem solving, critical and creative thinking, reflection
collaborative learning and hands on guided investigations. Students are assessed on their knowledge and
understanding at regular intervals and provided with an outline of clear success criteria, so that learning
intentions are known.
Key Learning Areas include:
• Biblical Studies
• English
• Mathematics
• Science and Technology
• HSIE (Human Society and its Environment) - History and Geography
• PDHPE (Personal Development, Health, Physical Education)
• Creative Arts – Music, Visual Arts, Drama, Dance
• Languages -Japanese
ENGLISH
You can help by:
• Encouraging family conversations – especially family devotional times.
• Reading to your child every night and talking about what you have read.
• Taking them to the Library and giving books as gifts – this encourages a love of books.
• Free drawing and writing is very good for this age, as it helps develop strong muscle control.

Green Point Christian College Kindergarten Orientation 2021
MATHS – NUMBER, SPACE, MEASUREMENT
You can help by:
• Counting things around your home.
• Encouraging your child to help with the shopping/gardening/sorting of objects.
• Trying to cultivate a sense of number, size, volume, area, weight, time and distance with your
child in everyday life.
• Using scales when you cook.
• Teaching them about money.
• Pointing out shapes and patterns in the world around us.
SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
You can help by:
• Encouraging curiosity and questions about why things happen.
• Visiting places that will stimulate scientific interest e.g. Museums, Zoos, National Parks.
• Watching TV documentaries about Science and Nature.
• Encouraging your child’s interest in pets, gardening, cooking, rockpools or simple machines and
Lego.
In Kindergarten, students use Ipads throughout the day. Students will use a variety of apps and
programs to develop their computer skills and knowledge.
Mathletics and Reading Eggs are two of the apps your child will use. Please have a look at these
yourselves: http://au.mathletics.com and http://readingeggs.com.au
BIBLICAL STUDIES
Children at Green Point Christian College follow a sequenced Bible teaching program, have daily
class devotional times, and are encouraged to pray in class and to learn a weekly Memory Verse.
Kindergarten children participate in Chapel each week with the Primary School. Parents are also
invited to attend.
You can help by:
• Saying Grace with your child before meals and praying with your child.
• Encouraging your child to attend Sunday School or Church and any other Church activities.
• Reading the Bible to and with your child.
7
Green Point Christian College Kindergarten Orientation 2021
PDHPE (Personal Development, Health, Physical Education)
Gross motor activities are particularly vital to a child’s overall development. In Kindergarten we have
structured physical education and gross motor. Students also participate in School Swimming and Athletics
Carnivals as well as a School Swimming Program.
You can help by:
• Encouraging active play, visit a park, bounce a ball, throw a frisbee.
• Teaching your child to catch a ball, skip and ride a bike.
• Teaching your child about safety - who are their safe people and safe places in the community and
around your home.
• Discuss what they should do in an emergency.
CREATIVE ARTS
Music, Dance, Drama and Visual Art are incorporated throughout the week. Music lessons are taken each
week by a specialist Music Teacher.
You can help by:
• Singing and dancing with your child.
• Discuss their opinions about a variety of music styles.
• Playing with playdough - great for the muscle tone.
• Painting, drawing, cooking and making things with your child.
LANGUAGES
All students K-6 have a Japanese lesson once a week throughout the year, learning basic Japanese language
and culture with our specialist teacher (Sensei).
HSIE - HISTORY AND GEOGRAPHY
You can help by:
• Talking to your child about familiar land marks in our environment.
• Assisting students in understanding your family tree and relationships
• Talking with children about events and assist them in sequencing.

School Routines
Chapel / Assemblies
This is a worship time and on alternate weeks a grade presents an item followed by a Bible story and
Bible verse. Awards are handed out, Head of School Awardees are recognised and success is celebrated.
Parents are very welcome to join us at all Assemblies and Chapels.
Morning Assemblies (Monday and Friday)
Before going into class, children meet briefly together on the top quadrangle, for announcements and
presentations.
Monday 8.40am - A warning bell is rung each morning
8.45am - Top quadrangle - K - 6 Line-up for Assembly
Tuesday 8.45am - K - 6 Line-up outside rooms
Wednesday 8.45am - K - 6 Line-up outside rooms
2.30 to 3.15pm - Chapel in Multi-Purpose Centre
Thursday 8.45am - K - 6 Line-up outside rooms
Friday 8.45am - Top quadrangle - K - 6 Line-up for Assembly
Absences and Lateness
If your child is arrives after 9am, they will need to go to the Office to get a late note prior to going to the
classroom.
If you need to pick up your child early, please send along a note to the teacher. The teacher will send your
child to the Office for pick up. Then you can sign them out. All students need to be sent down to meet
you at the Office rather than picking them up at the classrooms.
The school has a legal responsibility to keep records of attendance for all students. Any absence from
school should be explained in a note to the office, via email to Absentees@gpcc.nsw.edu.au or by
phoning the College’s Absentee Line on 43 679 950 before 9:30am on the day of their absence.
Wellbeing - A positive approach
Disciplinary matters are generally handled by the classroom teacher. Each class has their own
behaviour/reward systems recognising effort in both academic and behavioural areas. This includes
certificates, stickers and class rewards. As well as this, each teacher nominates a student to receive
a “Head of Primary School Award”, to be acknowledged at Assembly/Chapel and presented with a
certificate.
Discipline in the Primary School should be an extension of the discipline that takes place in the home.
When disciplining children we try to find the appropriate balance between demonstrating grace and
helping the students recognise there are consequences for their actions. Our Behaviour Management
Policy can be found on the College Website (www.gpcc.nsw.edu.au).
Encouragement Awards called “Green Points” are given by teachers to students for a wide variety of
positive actions or achievements.

Green Point Christian College Kindergarten Orientation 2021
Illness at School
Parents will be contacted if students become ill or injured at school. If parents cannot be contacted, the
emergency contact person noted on the Family Information Form will be contacted. If the illness or injury
requires prompt attention, appropriate action will be taken and parents notified as soon as possible.
Any medication that needs to be given at school must have written instructions and be labelled with the
student’s name and class and sent to the Office. The Office staff will administer the student’s medication.
No medication will be administered by the school if the student has no personal medication. We do not
give students Panadol at the College.
“The Munchery” - Canteen
• Open every day from 8.30am to 2pm.
• Lunch orders may be lodged at the Canteen before classes commence or lodged online.
• The Canteen - “TheMunchery” - have partnered with Munch Monitor (www.munchmonitor.com) to
provide an online ordering and payment system. Parents must register to use this system by going to
the College Website / School Life / Canteen. Click on the link provided. Registration will require entry
of a School Code (username: greenpoint, password: munch2251).
• All orders not lodged online should be written on a paper bag with the student’s name and class on
the bottom of the bag and the order in the middle.
• Primary and Secondary students have separate queues at the canteen.
The Canteen Menu is on the College Website (www.gpcc.nsw.edu.au)
College Newsletter
Our College Newsletter, “The Messenger”, is accessed through our parent portal called, “Parent Lounge” and
a reminder is emailed every Thursday. The newsletter is an important communication tool for information
and events happening within the College community. Please ensure we have your current email address
so we can send the reminder.
School Security and Volunteers
Parent helpers need to sign in at the Front Office and wear a volunteer badge each time they come to help
at school. All Volunteers need to obtain a “Volunteers Working with Children Check” which is free.
The steps involved are:
1. Apply online.
2. Receive an Application Number (starting with APP).
3. Go to a Motor Registry to show identification. There is no fee for volunteers.
4. A receipt will be issued - but this is not the WWC number.
5. A WWC will be issued within a couple of weeks,but usually earlier.
10Green Point Christian College Kindergarten Orientation 2021
To be able to run the clearance check, Mrs Parkinson from the College Office will need to receive the
following information:
1. Your Surname
2. Your WWC number
3. Your Date of Birth
This information can be sent directly to Mrs Parkinson at sparkinson@gpcc.nsw.edu.au or your child’s
teacher can forward it on for you. The clearance is valid for 5 years.
Lines of Communication
If a situation arises which needs to be addressed, in the first instance, it is appropriate to speak directly
to the class teacher. If the situation is still not resolved, the next step is to speak to the Head of Primary
School, and if appropriate, the Principal.
Parents and teachers are encouraged to use email to communicate. Due to the large number of emails
received, teachers have a 3-day turn around policy. If it is urgent, please call the Office and leave a
message to be passed on. Parents are also welcome to meet with teachers in a scheduled meeting at a
mutually convenient time.
Uniforms
Correct school uniform must be worn to and from school and whilst at school, all students are expected
to be correctly attired. All items of uniform are to be purchased through the Uniform Shop.
Between September and May all students must wear a hat, bucket hat or sports cap, whenever they are
outside the classroom. All items of clothing, including hats and bags, must be labelled clearly with your
child’s name. Students with hair longer than shoulder length, must have it tied back.
A photo of the correct shoe styles appears on the Uniform Information page of this handbook.
Students may wear their sports uniforms to and from school on days specified by the class teacher and
dress uniform on all other occasions.
A list of uniform items and prices are on the following pages of this handbook.
Withdrawal Of Students
Parents need to give at least 10 weeks of school term time (not inclusive of holidays) notice in writing of
termination of enrolment and failure to do so may render them liable for one Term’s fees.

Kindergarten Routines and Helpful Hints
Early next year there will be a “Meet the Teacher” night. On this evening the teachers will go through the routines
with you to help you understand how the classroom works and how you might be able to assist.
Kindergarten children will be allocated Buddies from Year 6 at the start of the new year. These students will help
to look after them at the commencement of their Kindergarten year. Often these children form very special
relationships.
Here are just a few of the Kinder routines:
• Students will visit the Library each week with their teacher. They must have a cloth Library bag to be able to
borrow books to take home.
• Home Reading - Each child will be issued with a Home Reading Book in the first few weeks of school.
• Art – Each child will need an art smock (gathered in at the wrist). Plastic backed fabric is preferred.
• Speaking and Listening (News) - Students will be given a set day to bring in an item or speak to the class on a
given topic.
• Crunch ‘n Sip - each day students will eat a fresh piece of fruit or vegetable at around 10am. This is addional
to their recess.
• Parent Help - All teachers value your help in the classroom. After our first few weeks settling in, parents will
be invited to come and assist.
• Students will have four specialist lessons a week - IT, PE, Languages (Japanese) and Music.
• Sport and PE – Sports uniform may be worn on Sport and PE days (to be advised by class teachers).
• Labels – label everything clearly.
• Food – Pack healthy foods for your child. We encourage children to take home what they don’t eat and we
have a sitting time to eat lunch before playing.
• Canteen – Buddies will come in the first few weeks to take any students to the canteen, but please don’t
send your child with large amounts of money.
• Raincoats – Infants children are asked to have a raincoat in their bags. No umbrellas please.
• Spare underwear – A good idea is to pack spare underwear just in case.
• Please remember to see your teacher if there are any health problems of which they should be aware.
13Green Point Christian College Kindergarten Orientation 2021
First Day Routine
On the first day, bring your child up to the classroom before 9.00am. Help find their bag badge and when
the bell rings, the children will line up.
As the teacher directs the students to enter the classroom, it is important for you to kiss them, say
goodbye and assure them of the afternoon collection arrangements. Children will take their emotional
cues from you and if you are upset they may assume they have reason to worry.
In the afternoon, the Kindergarten children are always supervised until parents pick them up from the
bottom of the stairs outside the College Office. Children must be collected from the teacher.
Please don’t leave any toddlers or babies unattended in the car. On wet days, Kinder children may be
collected from the covered area beside the Jacaranda Room.

Extend OSHC at Green Point Christian College - Program of activities
There are so many exciting activities planned at Extend. Some of these planned activities include, art
and craft, science experiments, homework club, cooking, plenty of outdoor games and sports such as
basketball, handball, soccer and much more!
Who can attend?
The program is open to all children aged 5 - 12 years of age, who are enrolled on LookedAfter.
Making an enrolment – No enrolment fees
Our registration system is a purpose-built platform, named LookedAfter. It is a user-friendly online platform
which provides families with flexibility and control of their account and bookings from a mobile device. We
recommend that all parents enrol their child in LookedAfter to ensure that, if and when emergencies arise,
your child has a safe and engaging place to play until you arrive. Before your child can attend the Extend
service, they must be enrolled to ensure we have all current medical information and emergency contacts.
Each child’s safety is our paramount concern and so we hope that you will work with us to be proactive
and enrol your child. Please go to https://www.lookedafter.com for bookings and fee information. For
information on the child care subsidy, please visit our website or use our Fee Relief Calculator.
Ultimate Booking Flexibility
Families can book online up to the last minute prior to the start time of their service, as bookings are now
registered in our system instantaneously! If you make a booking for your child on the same day that the
booking will take place, please also contact the school office to communicate your child’s movements at
the end of the school day. We would like the children to transition from their school day to after school
care smoothly and this process will really help us to do so. We appreciate your co-operation.
Medication
If your child has a medical need that requires medication, we ask that you provide the Extend service with
a copy of the required medication. It is our priority to ensure your child’s safety. We must therefore have
your child’s medication stored onsite to ensure it is within reach if an emergency occurs. This includes and
is not limited to; Epipens, Ventolin puffers, Clarityn. Please work with us to ensure the safety of your child
at the service.
Hours of Operation
Before School Care: 7:00am – 8:45am (This will be offered depending on demand and CoVid-19 restrictions)
After School Care: 3:15pm – 6:00pm.

This Traffic Management Plan has been produced with the paramount aim of 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 carpark
to avoid injury or incident.
2. Revised Traffic entrances/exits and Procedures are waiting for completion of works during 2020.
3. TRAFFIC WARDENS will be on duty during peak periods to supervise the movement of students and
vehicles. Please follow their instructions.
4. PEDESTRIAN CROSSINGS, monitored by Traffic Wardens, should be used in order to promote the safe
separation of pedestrians and vehicles.
5. Any PRE-SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN are to be supervised at all times, including holding hands whenever
possible.
6. Kiss and Drop zones are supervised
• Display your surname in your windscreen
• If your children are not ready for collection you will need to park and collect for P3, or flow back
around for P1.
7. As is the case on public roads, MOBILE PHONES should not be used whilst driving in the car park area.
8. Please take care when OPENING CAR DOORS as that can injure pedestrians and/or cause damage to
vehicles.

WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN’T LOOKING
WHEN YOU THOUGHT I WASN’T LOOKING
When you thought I wasn’t looking you hung my first painting on the refrigerator
and I wanted to paint another.
When you thought I wasn’t looking you fed a stray cat
and I thought it was good to be kind to animals
When you thought I wasn’t looking you baked a birthday cake just for me
and I knew that little things were special things.
When you thought I wasn’t looking you said a prayer
and I believed there was a God that I could always talk to.
When you thought I wasn’t looking you kissed me good-night
and I felt loved.
When you thought I wasn’t looking I saw tears come from your eyes
and I learned that sometimes things hurt but that it’s all right to cry.
When you thought I wasn’t looking you smiled
and it made me want to look that pretty too.
When you thought I wasn’t looking you cared
and I wanted to be everything I could be.
When you thought I wasn’t looking I looked….
and wanted to say thanks for all those things you did when you thought I wasn’t looking.
