Meet The Staff - Matthew Di Domenica

What is your role at Concord School? Acting Principal

Provide us with a ‘snapshot’ into your daily routine at Concord School: I always start by catching up on my emails that I didn’t get a chance to read the day before! I have meetings with the Assistant Principals or different sections in the school.

I stop past the school café to get my coffee during lunch time and have a good chat with the students around the café and yard.

In the afternoons I make all my phone calls and try to set some goals to achieve in the next day.

What do you love most about working at Concord School? I love that every day is always different. I really enjoy interacting with all the students and staff and hearing about all the amazing programs the students do on a daily basis.

If You Could Pick Any 3 People as Dinner Guests, Who Would They Be and Why?

Neil Armstrong, so I can hear all about his adventures in space on walking on the moon.

Leonardo da Vinci, to ask about all of his inventions and paintings.

We are Livin Social Adventures! A Disability Support business offering supported activities and adventures for young people (16-35) with mild to moderate disabilities and mental health conditions.

Our primary goal is to help young people build friendships, explore new activities and get the skills they need to live and work independently.

Popular activities include: Bowling, Laser tag, Movies, Gym Fridays, Aquarium and much more!

For any students who have NDIS funding, they are able to claim our support costs through their NDIS plan as long as it's self managed or plan managed. We also offer pick up and drop off for anyone living within 20km of Eltham which we have found to be extremely helpful for busy parents.
