The Ponytail Project
The Ponytail Project isn’t just about losing your hair—it’s about gaining a sense of pride and purpose. It’s about standing in solidarity with the families and individuals who are battling cancer every day. For many of us, this fight is personal. Almost everyone knows someone close—a family member or a friend —who has been affected by cancer. It’s a disease that hits home for so many of us, and through this project, we have the chance to support those who are going through some of the toughest times in their lives.
This project is student-driven, which means we are leading the charge. By taking part, you’re joining a community of students committed to remembering those we’ve lost and supporting those still fighting. Every ponytail cut, every dollar raised, and every conversation sparked by this project makes a difference. It’s about showing that, as students, we can come together to create real, positive change in the world.

Sports News – Term 4, Week 7
South West Rugby 7's - Finals
| Concordia | Points | Opponent | Points |
|---|---|---|---|
| U13s Boys - Semi Final | 25 | Mary MacKillop | 20 |
| U13s Boys - Grand Final | 20 | TGS Gold | 25 |
| U 17s Boys - Grand Final | 21 | TGS Gold | 22 |
An awesome effort from our U13s & U17s boys who both made the Plate Grand Final of the Southwest Rugby 7s. Unfortunately, the U13s went down by 1 try, and the U17s by 1 point, against very strong Toowoomba Grammar teams. Both teams had fantastic seasons and improved every game. We are looking forward to 2025 and watching the boys continue to grow their Rugby skills.
Y 7/8 AAG Basketball Cup
Our Y7/8 boys and girls basketball teams gave it their all at the AAG Cup on Thursday. All teams showed incredible determination and teamwork throughout the day. A huge congratulations to all teams for their effort – we are proud of how they represented the College! Thank you to Grade 12 graduates Khan and Issac, and coaches Karina and Mrs Smith, for your mentorship and guidance.
