Assistant Principals Report

Back Gate

Hello parents and carers and welcome back to all students for the final term of 2016.

 

You will of course be aware that last year we put new fencing at the front of the school. As a next step in our focus on improving security we have decided that the small side gate by the large green garage will remain locked throughout the school day. This allows the school to limit the number of school entry and exit points to just the main front gate and back gate off Loyola Reserve carpark.

 

We regret that some parents may now be inconvenienced as they will no longer be able to use this side gate however I am confident you will appreciate the need to take such  practical steps to  maximise security. We are also looking to improve our staffing at 3:00-3:15 at the back of the school.

Improving Parking

On a similar matter we have received notification from the Darebin Council that they will be improving the car parking along Gleeson Drive. Please refer to their plan included in this newsletter. Parents are reminded that if they park on the nature strip on Gleeson Drive on the opposite side from the school then local residents will likely report them to the council and they risk a substantial fine.

In this edition of 'Meet the Staff' we speak with Jessica Greenway

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

Most days we start the day with a morning talk, to check in with each other. Then we begin our lesson with an engaging fun activity that motivates the students and gets them ready and eager to learn for the entire day.

 

What do you love most about working at Concord School? 

The staff and students have all been very welcoming and the school has such a positive energy surrounding it.
