Dear Parents and Caregivers

I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you back from the Winter term break. I hope this time allowed you to either slow down, connect with family and friends, change your daily routine, do day trips or take a well-deserved holiday. The cold and at times wet weather during this time was also probably what the doctor ordered to make us all slow down. Thank you for your wonderful support in transitioning your students back to school regarding uniform expectations and other college routines. I would like to take this opportunity to welcome the 5 new students and their families who have joined the Concordia family this term. We look forward to growing a rich, rewarding and transparent working relationship with you as a family during your time with us.

Welcome to Term 3! How quickly this year is flying by.

Welcome back to all students and families to what will be another exciting school term ahead. I hope the break has been a relaxing and restful time for all.

From the Director of Stephen Street Campus

We hope everyone had a restful break and is ready for an exciting Term 3 at Concordia. It has been wonderful seeing some smiling faces as students enter the college each morning (even if they still look a little weary from returning to earlier wake-up times!).

Congratulations to students on their achievements in Semester One, whether it be in the classroom or in other endeavours across our wide extra-curricular program.

Term 3 is always a big term in schools, particularly for our seniors who are truly on their final stretch before end-of-year exams and farewells.
