Year 12

Our Year 12 students have returned to school prepared to be the leaders of the school, displaying maturity and ready for their final year of studies.

This semester, the Year 12s are studying Literacy, Numeracy and Personal Development skills as part of the Young Changemakers Program. The program aims to provide leadership opportunities to young people to grow awareness, learn about Philanthropy and contribute to social issues that are important to them. As a group the students have explored and identified issues that they are passionate about and next term they will work through grant applications of local organisations to allocate $30,000 across 6 charities. This is an exciting opportunity for Concord School to be part of.

We have 22 students enrolled in School-Based Apprenticeships (SBAT). SBATs allow students to study and gain on-the-job experience, being paid for their hours in the workplace. This year we have 10 students undertaking Certificate II in Warehousing Operations at the Connecting 2 Australia warehouse in Brunswick, assembling furniture and other timber products. We are also partnered with Water 2 All, a social-enterprise that delivers Certificate II in Food Preparation, preparing meals for a local community organisation to distribute. The students in 12C work each Wednesday preparing rice and pasta dishes, soups and sandwiches, then complete training modules in class on Thursdays.

In addition, dance classes commenced in the first week of February, preparing students for the Year 12 Presentation Ball, to be held at The Centre Ivanhoe on Friday 14th May.

The girls have tried on dresses and suits have been decided with fittings occurring before the end of term. Everyone is looking forward to a fabulous event!

We needed to postpone the Ball last year due to Covid restrictions so we will be running two Presentation Balls this year.
