Term 3 Pupil Free Day - Monday August 29th 

The Education Department has recommended that schools continue to hold their professional practice day on the same day for all staff by providing a pupil free day. Professional Practice Days provide an opportunity for staff to work collaboratively to effectively plan for the term ahead as well as participate in targeted professional development.

Concord School will have a whole school Professional Practice Day in Week 8 on Monday 29th August. Students will not attend school on this day.
