Dear Concordia Campus Families
As we journey through Term 4 towards the end of the year, I’m delighted to share some of the initiatives that continue to shape the Concordia Campus experience. I also would like to pay tribute to the Class of 2025, an incredible cohort of young people whose secondary journey commenced in the pandemic years, and who have emerged as empathetic, capable, resilient and future ready.
We are proud of the high levels of satisfaction with our academic program, and we are thrilled to report the continued agility of this program to ensure all our learners receive individualised pathways that align with their preferred futures. Additionally, our learning Enrichment and Extension Programs are making a meaningful impact for those involved, providing opportunities to connect learning beyond the traditional boundaries of the classroom.
The College continues to provide ways to strengthen student voice, including through leadership opportunities, feedback channels, and curriculum design that reflects student interests, their gifts, talents and their aspirations. Our Student Forum this year had has significant input into future planning of facilities and their vision will emerge into 2026 and beyond.
Our co-curricular offerings in music, drama and sport, continue to be a source of joy and engagement for many students. We are committed to broadening these opportunities to ensure every student can find their passion and feel a sense of belonging. Our inaugural Adelaide Fringe performance this year will happen again in 2026, and we are excited to further grow our industry connections for students across other curriculum areas.
Creating a safe and caring environment remains a cornerstone of our mission. We are encouraged by the positive impact of our wellbeing programs, and we are always listening closely to the community and remain agile in our response to student needs, especially for our senior students currently, who are navigating academic pressures, exams and deadlines. 2026 will bring further parent engagement and connection, as we work in partnership with families to support our young people through their secondary journey and beyond.
We believe the sense of community at Concordia is one of our greatest strengths. Our nurturing environment and strong relationships between students, staff, and families is something special, and we are grateful for your partnership, especially the support of our Parents & Friends group, whose contributions continue to enhance the student experience. Our staff are all deeply committed to student success and wellbeing.
As we look ahead, we remain focused on ensuring every student feels seen, supported and inspired. Thank you for your ongoing support and for being an essential part of the Concordia Campus community. I look forward to connecting with you at our Launchpad event later in the term.
Blessings to you all.
Penny McKenzie
Principal – Concordia Campus
