Welcome back Parents and Carers to our 2025 school year!

We hope you all had a wonderful break and are looking forward to another exciting school year!

The school year has started positively with students establishing connections with their peers, classroom ES, teachers and leaders across their sections. Through the school engagement programs students have been settling into their new classrooms and exploring their local community. 7/8s have visited Watsonia shops, 9/10s went to Binnak Park, 11/12s have started their Work Related Skills programs whilst Upper Primary explored opportunities to play within the new playgrounds at Concord. 

In Week 1 it was wonderful to see such a large attendance at our first Student Support Group (SSG) meetings. You will be able to find the minutes from your meeting uploaded to your child’s Compass profile. If you are having any trouble accessing these please contact your classroom teacher or Team Leader.  

At Concord we have wonderful Leadership in each section, the Teaching and Learning Leaders for 2025 are listed below. Feel free to make contact and introduce yourself or reach out throughout the year for any support. 

Warm regards,

Flora Nixon & Karlie Gooding 

Assistant Principal (Teaching and Learning)
