CLC Choral Showcase
Concordia's vocal prowess will shine at the forthcoming Choral Showcase. Featuring choirs from both the Junior and Senior Campuses, the event promises to be a splendid affair. Experience the melodious harmonies of our JC Junior Choir (Years 3-4), JC Senior Choir (Years 5-6), SSC Choir, and SSC Con Voce. The highlight of the evening will be a grand finale with all students joining forces in the Combined Choir (Years 3-12). An evening that promises to be unforgettable!
CLC Book Week
This year's theme is ‘Reading is Magic’
We look forward to seeing what creative costumes our students (and staff!) come up with for book week. It is always an exciting and fun time of the year.
Just remember that book week is about connecting students with books and inspiring enthusiasm and passion for reading. Costumes definitely don’t have to be expensive or complicated! They can be made out of things you find around the house, or from what is already in their wardrobe.
Happy reading!
Heidi Edwards - Teacher Librarian
