The Week Ahead - Term 2, Week 6
Monday 25 May to Friday 29 May 2020
From the Head of College
We are looking forward to all students from Kindy to Year 12 resuming onsite education this coming Monday 25 May. Throughout this week, parents and guardians have received confirmation of the protocols that will be in place on Monday, and these will possibly remain intact at least until the end of Term 2 and perhaps beyond.
In the coming week, I am looking forward to resuming enrolment interviews for the 2021 intake of students. These will continue to be carried out at all three campuses - albeit that many will be done via videoconferencing. At the same time, we have revisited our marketing strategies for the next few months. This coming week will see the launch of a new and fun-filled video put together with our students and staff at the end of last term. Please watch this and share it widely through your social media platforms – we would love to see this go viral!

What's next for LOVE CLC?
Many thanks to the College community for their support for the LOVE CLC platform. It has been pleasing to see the level of engagement with the platform across the College.
The LOVE CLC platform will continue to function as an online educational offering for our students. Over the coming weeks, we will be reviewing the platform and making some changes to keep it fresh and engaging for students to access.
The intention is for the LOVE CLC platform to evolve over time and we look forward to sharing updates. If you have any suggestions for LOVE CLC, we would love to hear from you. Please email us at marketing@concordia.qld.edu.au.

Ready, Reset, Go!
We have made it! Well done, parents, students and SSC staff. This has been such a fascinating chapter of history to experience from an educational perspective. What a journey of learning, the greatest of which I suggest is honing our abilities to adapt and respond flexibly and creatively to significant change and challenge. I could not be prouder of the way our students have adapted to the Teams learning environment and, again, I acknowledge the outstanding work done by our teachers and the support of parents and siblings at home. The feedback that has been provided via the online learning survey this week, was so encouraging and it certainly has given our staff a true sense of satisfaction. All that said, we are certainly looking forward to having the remainder of our students returning to onsite learning from next Monday.
As restrictions continue to ease in Queensland, we are working to reset our cocurricular programs. With changes of rehearsal venues to ones with appropriate social distancing capacity, choirs, instrumental music lessons, ensembles and bands will be able to recommence face-to-face rehearsals. Sporting activities appear to be still some way off and we are working to provide “COVID safe” options in this space as soon as we are allowed to.
Date Claimer
Parent/Teacher/Student conferences for Stephen Street Campus will be held on Monday 13 July. More information will be available in the coming weeks.
