Book Club Orders - LOOP On-Line Payments
A note about Book Club
Welcome to all our new families and welcome back to our continuing families. The first issue of Book Club will be coming home next week. The Junior campuses use LOOP (Linked Ordering and Online Payment). For those who are unfamiliar with it, here’s what you need to know:
LOOP enables parents to order and pay for their child’s book club order online. (Cash payments will be no longer available)
To order through LOOP, go to www.scholastic.com.au/LOOP , register and set up an online profile with a password.
You can add your child’s name and select their class and, by entering the 4350 postcode, you will be able to select their school from the drop down box.
The Junior campuses are set up as Concordia Hume Street Campus and Concordia Warwick Street Campus.
Please submit your order before Friday 9 February 2024 and the books will arrive at the school in due course.

Hello to all our families.
All our students are settling in well with a few who are feeling a tad homesick. This will pass. I hope you are all coping well at home.
All students enjoyed the long weekend with extra activities and downtime. The weather was very hot, and we have been making good use of the college pool. Thank you to Andrew for being our lifeguard to ensure the safety of all the students.
