Loyola Reserve Playground Update
Late last year staff from The Banyule City Council met with the Concord School SRC to consult about the proposals to upgrade the Loyola Reserve playground. Our year 9-12 students use this area at recess and lunch.
Our students made a number of suggestions for improvements and several have been acted upon. The SRC are proud to have had their voice not only heard, but acted upon.

Discovery Centre Competition
New Name for Nao
If you haven’t met our resident robot yet, now is your chance!
Nao is moving to the MILE Room, so if you come visit from Week 3 onwards you’ll get to see Nao hold conversations, do dance routines, and even dab. For such an amazing machine we need an amazing new name, so if you have a good name idea submit your suggestion to Ashley at the Discovery Centre. The winner will be decided by the Student Representative Council at their next meeting.
