GSC strives for high achievement from its students and staff. We recognise the importance of acknowledging the efforts and achievements of our students and do so in the following ways:
- Regular Principal’s awards as determined by classroom teachers
- Annual Presentation Night
- Giving our students responsibility such as our Media Crew who take photos at events
- Leadership roles through the Peer Support Program, School Captains and Student Representative Council
