Dear Parents and Caregivers

From all accounts our Year 10 students are once again making a great impression within the local working community as they attend and interact at their respective Work Experience locations every day. Thank you, parents, for ensuring that your student is ready for work every morning as well as putting their best foot forward as they represent their family and the College. Thank you to Mrs. Bowes and Mr. Pukallus who have begun to visit each of the students to ensure that they are having the best experience as well as embracing the possibilities afforded to them. 

From the College Pastor

Embrace the Possibilities - of Lent

At present we find ourselves in the season of Lent, the period of 40 days (excluding Sundays) leading up to Easter. The season started last Wednesday, traditionally known as Ash Wednesday (which has nothing to do with the bushfires that occurred on that day some years ago). The ashes this day is named after the burned remains of the previous year鈥檚 palm fronds from the Palm Sunday celebration. Palm Sunday remembers Jesus鈥 reception in Jerusalem like a king, with palms and clothes strewn before him on the highway and the people receiving him with great joy and expectation (Matthew 21:1-17). It looked like a victory procession and I guess people expected great things, most importantly the conquest of the feared and hated Roman occupiers of their Holy Land. When Jesus instead challenged the temple authorities and practices, the mood soon changed and 5 short days later the crowds bayed for his blood: Crucify him!

Community News

From the Director of Pastoral Care and Wellbeing

Earlier this term, Concordia 女女视频 College engaged in Cyber Safety presentations aimed at educating our College Community to become more internet conscious.  These sessions were delivered by Brett Lee, a former Queensland Police Officer within the Cyber Crime Unit.  Brett鈥檚 experience in this field provided our students, staff and parents/caregivers with relevant information about potential online dangers and offered strategies to safeguard our families.

From the Director of Marketing and Enrolments

I am very proud at the end of Term 1 to tell you that Concordia 女女视频 College has seen a surge of interest recently, and there are plenty of reasons why.

By offering a rigorous academic curriculum and an abundance of extracurricular activities, Concordia offers students a unique opportunity to explore and develop their talents in a supportive and nurturing environment. The College encourages students to challenge themselves, to take risks, and to develop their passions and interests. At Concordia, students are empowered to reach their highest potential and to make a positive impact on the world around them. It is why my husband, and I chose this school for our children.

Raising Resilient Children:
As parents and educators, we want the best for our children. We want them to be happy, healthy, and successful. But life is full of challenges and setbacks, and it is important to teach our children how to handle them. This is where resilience comes in.

Resilience is the ability to bounce back from difficult situations and overcome adversity. It is a skill that can be learned and developed over time.

Stephen Street Campus

From the Director of Campus

A very warm autumn hello to everyone! It is hard to keep pace at the moment as it seems like Term 1 is disappearing at a tremendous speed. Students are already into their first assessments for the year and are showing great commitment to their studies and making the most of college life.

Our Year 10 students are currently participating in work experience, which is an important aspect of their education. Work experience allows students to gain practical experience in a chosen field and helps them to develop key skills such as communication, teamwork, and problem-solving; all of which are critical to success in the ever-evolving work world. It also provides students with an opportunity to explore potential career paths and gain a better understanding of the workforce. Mrs Leah Bowes and Mrs Jo-Ann Tessmer have done an excellent job in assisting students finalise these placements. I look forward to hearing the experiences of students when they return next week.
