Principal's Report 

Term 1

As we continue to move through Term 1, our students have so many highlights to be proud of. Grade 6 camp, Secondary Sports Day, Year 11 camp and Harmony Day are just some of these fantastic events students have been part of in recent weeks. It is fantastic to see the sense of community and school pride in our students as they share their successes with each other. With only one more week of Term 1, I wish all the students a well-earned break over the school holiday period.  

Concord School Council 2025

School Councils play a key role in Victorian government schools. A school council develops a vision for the school in collaboration with all members of the school community and is actively involved in the achievement of the targets within the school’s annual plan.

During the recent process to establish the Concord School Council for 2025, the number of nominations in the Parent and Staff categories was within the number of positions available, so an election was not required. 

We do have one vacancy in the Community category. If you are interested in joining our school council, please email your interest at matthew.didomenica@education.vic.gov.au

Below you will find the membership of our 2025 School Council.

Concord School – Inclusion Statement & Commitment 

Concord School is committed to cultivating a safe and inclusive environment for its students, staff and wider community including those who identify as LGBTIQA+. 

As a school community we aim to provide our students a safe space to connect and access resources at Pride Group. Concord School is prepared to make the necessary adjustments for gender diverse students to comfortably access their school environment. 

Concord School supports all members of the community for who they are and however they identify and works to promote an environment free from discrimination through our policies and positive, inclusive school culture. 

We are proud of our diverse community and have zero tolerance for any form of discrimination, including on the basis of sexuality and gender diversity. Concord School understands that the benefits of visible LGBTIQA+ inclusion extends beyond our students and staff. A school that celebrates diversity benefits everyone.

Principal's Award - Hudson Usher 7/8G

Hudson began his Secondary schooling at Concord this year. His happy and friendly personality has earned him many friends in his class and across the section. 

He is extremely kind, caring and super helpful in the classroom, especially getting himself ready for learning then helping his classmate to also be learning ready. 

Hudson approaches all tasks with such enthusiasm and positivity. We are so proud of the achievements Hudson has displayed this term.
