INTRODUCTION

Green Point Christian College moved into Senior School study programs in 1996 with the first HSC Exams held for our students in Year 12 at the College in 1997.

Green Point Christian College provides students with the individual and quality attention that they need in order to perform well in the Higher School Certificate. This booklet represents a wide variety of courses for potential study in Year 11 next year. The College Board is committed to providing our students with a strong and varied curriculum.

As a school staff, we are available to answer questions that you might have and to offer our advice as to subject choices and career paths that would be consistent with the ability and interests of your child. We offer a curriculum both for students wanting to pursue future tertiary studies and also for those intending to obtain an HSC and move directly into the workforce. In addition to studying courses at school, it is also possible for students to choose courses from a selection at TAFE and other outside providers, thereby increasing the range of subject choice available.

Although final academic performance is important and we will work towards success in this area, it is only part of the overall education that Christian Schools offer students. It is our strong desire and vision to see all of our students equipped not only academically, but also personally and spiritually, to live and make an impact in society. We endeavour to prepare our students for the challenges that lie ahead in their post school years.

Education is more than learning content and skills set down by NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) syllabi. We have a responsibility, as well, to equip young men and women to live in society. Our College, therefore, will continue to cater for the spiritual development of each child. The real answers in life are found in and through personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
