The Week Ahead - Term 4, Week 5
Monday 30 October - Friday 3 November
From the Head of College
Today we celebrated World Teachers鈥 Day at Concordia. This day is a time to acknowledge and celebrate all that is the teaching profession. We are blessed at Concordia to have the skills and talents of nearly 60 teachers across all three campuses. Our teachers want their students to do their best in life at all times. They teach and support the students irrespective of the situation and they guide them to grow into exceptional young people. On behalf of the students and community at Concordia, I would like to thank our teachers for the outstanding work they do each day.
Congratulations to our Junior College community for the overwhelming support given to our Christmas for the Bush appeal again this year. This would have to be one of my favourite Chapel services of the year as I watch the students proudly hand over their Christmas parcels to Bill and Melissa Close from the Care Outreach team. As is tradition, the Year 1 classes capably lead the service today. Thank you to Mrs Angela Norley, Mrs Lee-Anne Millett and all support staff for organising and hosting this worthy cause again this year.
Our Year 9 class has come to the end of their four weeks of camp at Googa and will celebrate the end of their Outdoor Education with their families tomorrow. We hope they have had a rewarding experience and take this memory with them for years to come. As stated by Jackson Besgrove our 2023 Year 12 Valedictorian, 鈥 Googa was awesome - said every person who ever did it.鈥
To round out another big week of events, I am looking forward to attending the CLC Art Show tonight. We have many talented and aspiring artists across our Junior and Senior College and tonight will showcase some of their best pieces. I hope you can join us this evening and see all that the students have to offer.
As we come to the end of Week 4, we are already halfway through the term. What a busy but rewarding four weeks it has been. I hope that you can all find some time to rest and enjoy the weekend and are ready for the exciting events still to come.
Blessings for the week ahead

Courageous Eve
Eve Symonds
Eve is a bright, effervescent student in Year 3 who has overcome much adversity over the past 3 years. Late 2020, as Eve was completing Prep, she was diagnosed with T-Cell ALL Leukemia. This is a rarer form of Leukemia and higher risk form of the disease. Eve underwent more than 2 years of intense treatment. During that first year, Eve spent many months at the Brisbane hospital and later with weekly treatments of chemotherapy.
Throughout the many months of treatment, pain, and living in the hospital, Eve always had a smile and something kind to say to others. When she could attend, her enthusiasm for being at school was always evident in her bubbly and sparkling personality. She relished being amongst her classmates and spending time with her many friends. Eve is currently considered to be in remission but will have five years of tests before they consider her 鈥榗ured'.
Eve has shown tremendous strength, courage and resilience in working through her health challenges. We would like to congratulate Eve on receiving The Mayoral Achievement Medal that recognise students who overcome that some young people face every day. She is an inspiration to all around her. We are extremely proud of Eve and believe she has all the qualities of an incredible hero.

Friday Inter-School Sport - Term 4
Concordia 女女视频 College has entered teams into various sports for the Friday Inter-School Sports Competition which are held at various venues. These sports have included girls AFL and Hockey, boys Touch and mixed Volleyball.
Good luck to all these teams in this highly anticipated student activity.
SWQ Primary All Schools Touch Football Carnival
Last weekend our JC students competed in the Mixed division of the Southwest Qld Primary All Schools Touch Carnival at Dalby. While many of our students were relatively new to the sport of Touch, they put their best foot forward and produced some fantastic results for the team in very hot and dry conditions, against some of the best Touch schools in South West Qld.
This is the 4th time Concordia has entered this competition, and our students thoroughly enjoy the experience. Every year the team steps up and improves, both as individual players and as a team. Our performance surprised several schools along the way! Several students will be eligible again next year, which is a very exciting prospect for our Touch program at Concordia.
These types of experiences are not possible without the assistance of various stakeholders, and special mention must go to Kellie Maddock and Carolyn Lynch who assisted me with coaching and managing the team at the Carnival. We also commend our group of parents that supported our students at the Carnival from the sidelines, giving up their time to attend.
This carnival has concluded our Touch program for 2023. A program which is gathering pace and building momentum across Concordia. We are already very excited for 2024.

Representative
Recently the QLD Primary Track and Field Championships were held in Brisbane. Concordia was lucky enough to have three athletes - Andrew Ye, Charlie Lowis, and Arabella Knopke - compete in a variety of events over the few days. This is a great achievement for these athletes to compete at such a high level, and a fantastic experience for them competing against some of the best in the state. Well done!
Congratulations also Arabella Knopke on a very successful campaign with the QLD Primary Schools Touch team at the recent National Championships. The team winning the final against a very determined NSW. Arabella had an amazing carnival and has a very bright future in this sport. Congratulations to Charlie Lowis on his remarkable performance competing with the QLD Primary School Soccer team. Charlie had an outstanding tournament and only allowing two goals to pass through. Queensland secured a commendable 3rd place, with New South Wales clinching the 2nd spot, and Victoria West emerging as the victorious champions. Well done!
This is a remarkable achievement for these two athletes competing against the best in the nation in their respective sports.
Josh Dolley and Charlie Lowis represented the Concordia U13s team at the SWQ School Futsal Titles in March and were selected to represent Southwest Qld in the U12s age division at the National Schools Futsal Championships in September at Nissen Arena. There were 21 teams in their age division. Their team won 5-6 of their pool games and made it through to the finals. Both boys have been selected to represent Australia in Barcelona in June next year. Josh has also been selected to represent the SWQ State Futsal Team at the January 2024 National Club Championships in Sydney. Congratulations boys on the next leg of this journey

Boarding
Boarding News
Hello to all our families!
Well, we are halfway there, 4 weeks to go! Christmas is just around the corner. Where has this year gone. This past week was the start of the Year 12 Exams. The feedback has been that our boarders feel they have done well. Over the next 3 weeks there will be many exams being held in the college. We wish everyone a great outcome.
We have a big weekend coming up with the return of our Year 9 students on Saturday from Camp. Word from the Googa is that they have all given 100% and enjoyed themselves as well. Well done to our Year 9 boarders, especially those who have really stepped out of their comfort zone. We are sure they will enjoy their nice comfy beds and hot showers after a quick drive through MacDonald鈥檚 on the way home.
Sunday we will be departing the dorm at approx. 8.30am for another outing in Brisbane. This time we are going to Outback Spectacular. We are all looking forward to what is sure to be a great trip with a couple of shows followed by a three coarse meal.
Last Saturday we took some students to Crow鈥檚 Nest for the Rodeo. Many were first timers and are now converted Rodeo followers. It was a great evening. Those bull riders are fearless!
Our Junior Rugby boys had another 3 wins last night, we are very proud of them and achieving outstanding results. Look out the All Blacks! Our Futsal girls put in a huge effort during their games and although they did not come off the victors, we are super impressed and proud of their effort and resilience.
Travel has been submitted to Abstudy and those students will travel on Thursday 23rd. If you foresee any need for changes, please let Ms Maureen know as soon as possible.
Some excitement around the Boarding House, it is out with the old and in with the new as the Boarding Recreation room is getting fresh new carpets.
Big thank you goes to our Kitchen staff; we sometimes overlook the amount of input from other departments that goes into supporting your child during their time in Boarding. This morning I snapped a few shots in the kitchen of Beth preparing Vegemite scrolls 鈥 kids love them and Rosie finishing off the breakfast dishes to get ready for the next meal. Our boarders have a fridge in the kitchen area that is refilled every day for them. They simply open the door and help themselves to fresh fruit, vegie nibbles, cakes, slices, yogurts, muesli bars to mention just a few. The tea and coffee station is also very popular at mealtimes with Milo, Hot Choc, Tea and Coffee on offer.
We would also like to thank Troy at the Aquatic Centre; our students have been enjoying a quick swim in the pool. They love relaxing and having a bit of fun, especially with all this hot weather.
Till next week
We hope you enjoy our pics.
