Helicopter Visit:
Residents were surprised to see an army Black Hawk helicopter landing in Glenmore Park.
It actually landed in the school grounds and was part of an Army promotion. School principal Ms Brookton said “Year 7 students were given the opportunity to closely inspect the Black Hawk with the specific instructions not to touch any red buttons. Under the watchful eyes of the crew, all our students obtained a greater understanding of the Black Hawk and its crew. GPHS would like thank the Army for the opportunity to gain an insight into the exciting life of Australia’s Armed Forces.”
Commando training:
Year 12 student Josh Matheson has been helping to prepare  a group of students for the 6km commando course called the Tough Bloke Challenge which is on 3rd July in Appin.
It is part of the gym program which has been running for 12 months to encourage young students to lead an active and healthy lifestyle. In the past few weeks small groups from the program have ventured into the Blue Mountains to take on the notorious Knapsack Stairs and other challenging tracks in preparation.
The students get to school early 2 mornings a week for an hours training.
