Redlands Campus Curriculum - The pursuit of Excellence
At Redlands Campus we aim to create a learning environment where teachers and students can pursue excellence together.
F1 challenge students can participate in a variety of activities. Debating, choir, public speaking and Pedal Prix are some that are actively pursued. Redlands Campus offers a wide range of opportunities for students to be involved in musical ensembles.
From time to time these activities may take place off campus and after school hours or involve touring. Parents will be contacted by the responsible staff member regarding transport arrangements and general information relating to the activity.
The Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme is also available for student participation. This scheme aims to encourage and stimulate the enthusiasm and energy of all young people between the ages of 14 and 25. Candidates complete any or all of three levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold. In each level four separate sections are completed: service, expedition, skill and physical recreation. Candidates choose their own activities based on their own interests and follow these activities in their own leisure time. The Award Scheme is one of individual challenge and is offered at Concordia as an extra curricular activity. Candidates are assessed on their own individual aptitude and abilities and not in competition with others. Therefore the scheme is within the reach of all young children.

Excellence
We believe that excellence can be achieved through commitment to work and self-discipline in an atmosphere of positive expectation and encouragement.
We do not believe excellence is an end in itself. We aim to encourage students to share their abilities and achievements for the benefit of others and the whole world. We believe in a value-added education where all courses encompass Christian values.
