Student Wellbeing

School Captains
School Captains are chosen by the Year 11/12 staff. They are students who consistently display the school values of Honesty, Respect, Cooperation, Personal Best and Happiness.
Above all our captains are good role models and have:
- Positive leadership skills.
- A strong Concord School 'Spirit'
- A supportive, caring and fair attitude.
Congratulations to Shania and Ben who are our 2018 Concord School Captains.
Coming to School
Successful learning and social development depends on a number of things, the most basic is coming to school every day. While we understand many of our students have extra challenges, they need to attend school every day they possibly can.
Children who regularly attend school and complete Year 12 have better health outcomes, better employment outcomes, and higher incomes across their lives.
It is important that children develop habits of regular attendance at an early age.
Student responsibilities:
• Attend school every school day.
• Arrive at school and classes on time and prepared.
• Talk to a teacher if you have issues that might impact on your ability to attend school/class.
Parent/carer responsibilities:
• Ensure your child attends Concord School every school day.
• Ensure they arrive at school between at 8:45 and 8:55.
• Provide a valid explanation for a student’s absence/lateness. This can be done on the Compass parent portal or by phone.
• Provide the school with advanced notice if there is a planned up-coming school absence.
• Communicate openly with the school any medical condition that may result in ongoing absence or medical appointments during school hours.
• Alert the school early to issues that may impact on your child’s attendance.
