Successful first EKKA

Agriculture Show Team

Congratulations to Tilda Jones and Liam Edwards for making it to the finals of the Prime Beef Judges competition at our very first EKKA Show! Tilda received a high commendation in the 11-13 age group, while Liam was highly commended in the 16-18 age group. The competition was fierce, with top contenders from across the state participating. They not only had to present in front of thousands at the Ekka, but their performances were also live-streamed. Well done to both!

Celebrating Our Instrumental Performers – Toowoomba Eisteddfod

Congratulations to all the Concordia students who participated in the instrumental solo and small group sections of the Toowoomba Eisteddfod. It’s inspiring to see so many students embracing this opportunity and representing Concordia with dedication and passion.

Over the past two years, we’ve seen remarkable growth in both the number of participants and the awards received. This is an exciting reflection of the enthusiasm and talent within our music program.

We are thrilled to share that many of our students achieved placings, highlighting the depth of talent in our College community. Most importantly, we are incredibly proud of every student who demonstrated the courage to register independently and perform in such a competitive and public setting.

Well done to all!

Congratulations to the following students, many which performed multiple times:

Lewis Lim, Seth Johansen, Adelaide Siddans, Hayden Wise, Thomas Lucy and Hana Soe Yoshida who all performed well in their respective sections, along with the following who we know placed in their sections:
