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.
Study sessions commenced this week with Nick overseeing the students’ progress. Our focus this year will be to have all students with a clear goal of what they would like to achieve during study time. Nick and our tutors will be monitoring the efficiency of the study time. All students will have independent time in their rooms with the support of our study team.
Nick is our Senior Supervisor and works in Temme House and is currently studying for his Bachelor of Secondary Education at the University of Southern Queensland. We welcome Amaris next week as our Senior Supervisor in Giabal House along with Gigi who will be tutoring. Amaris is at USQ studying primary education and Gigi is at the UQ Gatton Campus studying Veterinary Science. We are very lucky to have this calibre of staff join our team.
We also have Jane and Sera who are studying at USQ. Jane a Bachelor of Human Service, Sera a Bachelor of International Relations. Nadir is also in his last year of Mechanical Engineering.
With such diversity within our staff, we endeavour to support the students to reach their full potential.
Wednesday, we had the swimming Carnival, and everyone enjoyed the day. On Thursday our Year 11 students went to Brisbane for an enjoyable river cruise. They all looked wonderful.
Friday we are heading off to Camp. Everyone is super excited. Our Boarder captains Kerri and Khan selected their teams for the weekend. This will ensure we have plenty of hands on deck for the fun stuff as well as the camp work. I am looking forward to reporting back next week with many pictures.
Till then, take care and stay safe.
