Well-rounded Education

Our focus here at GYC is always on students achieving academic success in the many courses that we offer. It’s amazing to think that we offer over 120 courses from which students can select their subject choices.

We place the utmost importance on Teaching and Learning. Our explicit values of Growth, Connection, and Courage encompass all facets of college life and are also demonstrated in co-curricular activities. No doubt you are all aware of our outstanding DoSomething!@GYC program.

At various times during the academic year, we provide specialised sessions during the Wednesday and Friday Extended Home Room weekly timeslot.

Offerings during these sessions include:

• Prayer Services and Liturgies.

• Beyond GYC Career Awareness Sessions.

• Information sessions for students including understanding TCE, VET and ATAR and Academic Integrity.

• Major fundraising campaign Push Up Challenge.

• Home Room Cup competitions where students compete in fun activities, gaining points for their Home Room class.

• Celebrations like Harmony Week, Reconciliation Week, Book Week, National Careers Week and NAIDOC Week.

• Guest speakers focusing on the following topics: Party Safe, Life After School and Cyber Safety.

• Academic, Community, and DoSomething!@GYC award assemblies.

I hope you agree that we do indeed offer a well-rounded education here at GYC!

Girls’ Soccer

The GYC Girls’ 1st Soccer Team (GYC Gold), coached by Ruby Batchelor, managed by Mrs Rochelle Hoare, and captained by Emma Christie, continued their strong form with a Semi Final victory over Fahan School. Despite showing great determination and resilience, they were unable to overcome St Mary's College in the Southern SATIS Grand Final. In Division 2, GYC Red played well against Fahan in the Semi Final but were unable to defeat the ladder leaders in the 1 v 4 Final.

Badminton

This year, GYC offered students the opportunity to compete in two badminton competitions: the Southern Badminton Association competition on Fridays and the GYC Social Mixed Competition on Wednesdays. GYC Maroon (Girls B) enjoyed an excellent season, claiming the Grand Final victory, while GYC Yellow (Mixed) competed strongly against an experienced combined Hutchins/Collegiate team in their Grand Final.
