Dear Parents and Caregivers

This term has seen students from across our College participate in an extraordinary number of curricular and extra-curricular activities, through which they have demonstrated outstanding levels of engagement, creativity and resilience, all of which would not have been possible without the generous support of parents, families and school staff. I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank all students, parents, families and staff members who have supported the on-going work of our teaching and leadership teams this term. Our school community continually shows great energy for learning and care for each other, with school pride regularly celebrated in a range of authentic contexts.

Semester 1 2023 - done and dusted!!

Hasn鈥檛 this term flown by? So many special events, concerts, sporting events, the musical 鈥 Concordia certainly has been busy. Add to that all the usual teaching and learning and, more recently, lots of assessment activities and it鈥檚 no wonder that we are getting a little tired. And just in time God provides us with that special opportunity to rest and be refreshed called 鈥渟chool holidays鈥!

Youth Leaders Program

The Youth Leaders Program is a volunteer platform for young people aged 14 to 24 to become involved with Toowoomba Regional Council. The program allows young people from across our Region to learn about their local communities' groups, events, activities and youth services.

We currently service a regional population of 173,000 people (ABS, 2021), with approximately 32,000 of these residents being young people.

The Regional Youth Leaders play an important role in ensuring our programs are relevant, meet the needs of local young people and have the greatest reach possible.

The Youth Leaders also get the opportunity to learn about our processes and the role of local governments. We encourage them to have a say and develop grassroots projects to create positive change 鈥 not only for our Region's young people but the wider community.

As part of their role, the Youth Leaders provide a voice for other young people, identify community issues and share information on opportunities for young people to connect to events, programs and service providers.

The Youth Leaders represent areas from across the entire Toowoomba Region.

Junior College

From the Junior College Directors

As we come to the end of Semester 1 it is important to look back on the achievements of the Junior College students over the first six months of the year. Our Prep students have just completed half of their first year of formal schooling. They have grown immensely since January and are now becoming more confident and capable learners both in the classroom and in the playground. Our Year 6 students have reached the halfway point of the last year of their primary school years and have taken on their leadership roles on each campus with enthusiasm and maturity.

From Warwick Street Kindergarten

The first half of our Kindergarten year has flown by 鈥 filled to the brim with play and learning!

With each passing day, we witness their growth, enthusiasm, and readiness for the next step—Prep!

Kindergarten at Warwick Street is more than meets the eye with a core focus on Nature-based Learning with Bush Kindy: Our Kindergarten program goes beyond the walls of the classroom through our Bush Kindy program. Immersed in the wonders of nature, children engage in hands-on learning experiences that foster curiosity, resilience, and a deep connection with the environment. They explore the local flora and fauna, build shelters, engage in sensory activities, and develop an understanding of sustainability and conservation. Research has shown that nature-based learning promotes cognitive, emotional, and physical development. According to renowned educator and theorist Richard Louv, "Time in nature is not leisure time; it's an essential investment in our children's health and development." At Warwick Street Kindergarten we believe in the power of nature to inspire and educate, and our Bush Kindy program exemplifies this philosophy.

Beyond the incredible learning experiences happening in our Kindergarten classrooms and Bush Kindy program, we have some thrilling news to share. We are delighted to announce that a brand-new playground is on its way- with works starting on June 19th! This playground promises to be a haven of fun, laughter, and imaginative play for our Kindergarten children. We are eagerly anticipating its completion and cannot wait to see the joy on little faces as they explore this wonderful new space. During these works there will be some changes in parking availability, so please refer parking communications to come.

Our 2024 Kindergarten waitlist is now open, if you would like to tour our vibrant space, please phone the Kindergarten directly on 46 136392 to secure a tour time.

Stephen Street Campus

From the Director of Campus

As we sign-off another rapid, yet successful term, it is with great delight that we highlight the remarkable achievements of our students in both the extra-curricular arena and their academic pursuits. At Concordia, we firmly believe in providing a holistic education experience, and Term 2 has been a true testament to the incredible talent and dedication of our students.

Sport News

Wow! What another amazing term of Sport at Concordia.

Term two was busy in all facets of college life but none more than Sport. Due to poor weather at the end of term one, our interhouse cross country carnival was moved to the start of term two and marked the first major sporting event on the Concordia calendar. There was fantastic participation from all students, however Kessler was too good for Altus and Stedman on the day. Kessler kept this momentum going, taking out the Athletics carnival two weeks later. Some remarkable individual results were achieved including the breaking of some long-standing records.

Boarding

Boarding News

A Trip to Dreamworld. What great start to the last week of term. We left the dorms at 7.30am and headed off What a fantastic day we all had. Our tutors Jane, Nick and Sera gave up their day to spend it enjoying rides with the students. They are all dare devils when it comes to the rides along with the students. Lots of food and Candy flow was consumed. Every single student needed an early night.  Thank you to all who contributed to it being a great day.
