Welcome To Our New Staff

Nicole Agianoglou - Administration

What is your role at Concord School?

I am an Administration Assistant at the Bundoora Campus.

Provide us with a ‘snapshot’ into your daily routine at Concord School:

My day begins with liaising with the administration team to ensure that the school day runs smoothly. I greet students with their parents and carers and offer any assistance when needed. The administration office can become quite busy at times with phone calls and unexpected tasks but it keeps me on my toes and before you know it its time to wave goodbye and wish students a good night!!

What do you love most about working at Concord School?

I love working with the administration team and our education staff who have all been so welcoming and supportive of me during my short time at Concord School. I love being able to have conversations with students from all sections and look forward to seeing their smiley faces walk through the door on a daily basis. I have loved creating new friendships within the school community and look forward to making many more.

Favourite Food: Chicken schnitzel and Peanut Butter cups.

Favourite Movie/TV Show:

I have so many but I really love Vampire Diaries and Will and Grace.

Hidden Talent or Something We May Not Know About You:

Newsletter: 21 October, 2021

Dear Parents/ Guardians and staff,

The last week at OSHC comprised very low attendances due to continued lockdowns. The children that did attend however- enjoyed the last week at OSHC and undertook activities such as playing with action figures, snakes and ladders boardgames, dressing up in costumes, hide and seek, and ‘Red Light/ Green Light’ group games.

Children must wear sunscreen when playing outside, which is supplied at the service, unless your child has specific skin sensitive sunscreen, then this must be provided to the service. Hats are required for outside play, and this is for term 4 and also term 1. Additionally- if parents could supply the service with a sunhat to be left at the service for the child to use when they are attending this would be most appreciated.

Kind Regards,

Their Care - The Concord/ Watsonia OSHC Team
