The Week Ahead - Term 2, Week 3
Monday 4 May to Friday 8 May 2020
From the Head of College
During the week, I shared some updated thoughts via video with parents in the Junior College. In essence, we have worked through the second week of our virtual learning program with some resounding successes and it is evident that we are all learning together at this time. Thank you to all within our community for your ongoing support, and I have noted that spirits are high across our Concordia community - albeit in challenging times
The College is appreciative of our parents and guardians, and in particular, we thank you for your attention to the Term 2 fee structures and arrangements as announced last week. We have been overwhelmed by the encouragement for our community as evidenced by the number of parents who have indicated a willingness to pay the scheduled fees in support of those who may be finding these times more difficult. We have also noted an uptake through our Future Foundation, and details for contacting the College about this method of support can be found on the Concordia website or contacting the Business Office. So far, we have been able to keep our community fully intact, and this stems from one united and considered approach. Thank you!
It was a delight to see that our boarding community has been able to come together through MS Teams. Faces appearing on the screen are not quite the same as having students and their parents on campus, but nevertheless, the rolling out of this program in the coming weeks will usher in a new era of boarding and remote communication beyond this current lockdown. Thank you to our boarding families for your support and I hope that further virtual and in person contact will become the order of the day as we continue to build community.
Kindest regards and blessings
