Go our Junior Panther Trophy Team who last

Well done our Senior Panther Trophy Team

who played well on Tuesday 22nd May.

“Social Media Safety—How Do We

Protect Our Children?” Are your children using Facebook? Do you

know what sites your children are viewing?

Heard about cyber bullying? Are you aware

employers scan social media sites?

Penrith Police and local Primary and High

Schools are together presenting and

supporting two important Community Forums

on Social Media Safety. As parents we need

to know how we can protect our children from

predators and teach them protective

behaviours. What all of us don‟t want is our

children tagged for life by what they put

online. Forums will be held on Wednesday

30th May at Cranebrook High Hall from 7-8pm

and Jamison High Hall on 6th June at 7-8pm.

Contact Cranebrook High School to RSVP. A

very worthwhile information evening. (See flyer

page 3).

PANTHER TROPHY REPORT

GPPS sent an under 10‟s and an open team to Whalan

Reserve last week to compete in the tournament. Both

teams were in the A division. The juniors played extremely

well as a team and were highly competitive in all three

games. Our first game against Shalvey was not our best

and we went down 18-4. The second and third matches

we won 40-0 and 38-4. Because our for and against was

so high we qualified for the semi-final against Crawford

who had won their three matches. The boys performed

very well and played their best football winning 24-0. The

grand final will be held at St Marys Stadium tomorrow at

10:30am against St Marys North. Win, lose or draw the

team have done a great job and have been outstanding

representatives of the school. Well done boys!!

The seniors had a mixed day winning two games and

losing two. The first we won 12-6 the second we lost 6-12

and the third 6-8. The best match of the day was against

the highly fancied Lethbridge Park team, we beat them

12-10 in the match of the day!!

Both of our teams are to be congratulated on their

behaviour and sportsmanship throughout the day.

Special thanks to Mr Welsh and Mr Chester for their

assistance coaching and running the water and to all the

parents who supported the team and assisted with

transport to and from the venue. Without your help these

activities would not be offered to our students.
