Frequently Asked Questions
GETTING STARTED
How many students attend GPCC?
We have over 1100 students from Kindergarten to Year 12.
Do you have before and after school care?
Yes - our on site provider, Camp Australia, offers before and after school care, as well as vacation care during school holidays.
You can find out more by visiting their website.
Does my child need to be Christian, baptised or christened?
No, there is no requirement for enrolment for your child to be baptised or christened to apply, nor do you need to be attending a church.
We have an open enrolment policy and seek to enrol children of families who wish to see Biblical principles and Christian values supported in their child's learning.
ENROLMENT
When do I need to apply?
We have growing wait pools across many year levels, so it is never too early to apply. To assist with our enrolment planning, we recommend submitting an application to enrol at least two years prior to your child’s desired start year.
What happens if there is no vacancy?
Where there are no positions available in a particular grade, your application will be added to the wait pool. If a position becomes available, parents will be notified, and an enrolment interview will be offered. Applications remain on file and valid, unless they are withdrawn by request.
What is the cost to apply?
A non-refundable application fee of $100 applies for each child you wish to apply to enrol. A non-refundable enrolment fee of $300 per child is payable within two weeks of an enrolment being offered, capped at $600 when enrolling multiple children at the same time.
Does my child have to sit an entrance test?
GPCC is not a selective school so your child will not be asked to sit an entrance test prior to being offered a place. Literacy and numeracy skills are assessed during the interview and orientation process to assist with class placement and planning.
Will siblings automatically have a place?
If you already have a child attending GPCC then siblings are given priority consideration in the enrolment process. To be considered for this type of preferential enrolment, we recommend submitting an application for siblings at least two years prior to the intended start year.
Are there discounts for siblings?
Yes, we do offer sibling discounts. View our fees page for more information.
I'd like my child to change schools. Can I enrol now?
Our key entry year levels are Kindergarten and Year 7. If you are seeking enrolment for a different grade, then please contact our Registrar to discuss your needs.
Applications for immediate commencement will be reviewed and actioned as soon as possible, provided there is a vacancy in the grade required.
Will my child be able to attend an orientation day prior to starting?
To ensure a smooth transition for children starting school, GPCC has an extensive orientation program allowing children to become familiar with their new learning environment prior to commencing. Orientation programs are tailored to the needs of both Primary and Secondary students.
STARTING KINDERGARTEN & YEAR 7
Do I need to re-apply when my child moves from Year 6 to Year 7 at GPCC?
If your child is enrolled in Year 6 at GPCC, you are not required to reapply for Secondary school. We anticipate our Year 6 students will continue their Secondary schooling at the College.
What age should my child start Kindergarten?
Applicants for Kindergarten should turn 5 years of age by April 30 of the year of enrolment.
Kindergarten interviews are held the year prior to enrolment. If you are unsure about your child’s year of entry into Kindergarten, please contact our Registrar.
