Secondary Year 12

Sydney Educational Tour

In Week 4, Year 12 students and five staff met early at Melbourne Airport, excited to head off on our trip to Sydney.  This trip to Sydney aimed to provide students with an experience of a lifetime; their last school camp with their friends and a chance to visit one of Australia’s largest cities.  For many students this was their first time on an aeroplane!  The group stayed at the YHA The Rocks, a location close to Sydney Harbour with an amazing view of the Opera House and Sydney Habour Bridge from the terrace.  Our itinerary ensured that we enjoyed many must-do experiences:

• Darling Harbour Aquarium;
• Cockatoo Island Convict tour;
• Tour of the Sydney Opera house;
• Sydney Observatory;
• Seeing Sunrise being filmed;
• Bondi Beach (spotting some of the lifeguards from Bondi Rescue!);
• Sydney Tower;
• Taronga Zoo; and
• Using public transport including ferries, double-decker trains and buses.

Graduation Ceremony

On Thursday 5th December we farewelled our 2019 Year 12 graduates with a beautiful ceremony held at the Watsonia RSL.  All students had prepared a speech, reflecting fondly of their time at Concord School, and presented this to the graduates, families and members of the school community.

The Year 12 students will be transitioning into pathways that include: employment services, transition to employment programs, Tafe and other further study options, disability support agencies, and many students are linked with individualised support programs through the NDIS. 

We wish the Year 12 students all the best with their future pathways.
