Primary State Honours Ensemble Program Darling Downs
On the weekend (November 1-3), three Junior Campus students participate in a very prestigious music camp event. The state honours ensemble programs are an educational program for music students that helps extend and encourage their pursuit of musical excellence. Students need to be nominated by their school to apply before they are then selected from a list of criteria. Concordia has had student representatives in all State Honours programs this year and it just goes to show how much growth our students are willing to access.
Congratulations to Emma Hilkemeijer (Trombone), Lewis Lim (Flute) and Sonya Thien (Flute) who should be very proud of their commitment, achievements and attitude throughout the programs. This was the first event of this kind, and we look forward to having a larger representation in future years.

Care Kits for Kids QLD
The year 9 food and fibre students are pursuing sewing. Instead of creating something to keep for us, we are taking the opportunity to give back to those less fortunate. We are partnering up with Care Kits for Kids Queensland to donate to children who have been placed in emergency foster care. We have come up with care packages and hand-sewn hearts to give them something to own, and a symbol that they are loved. We are seeking donations to make this possible. Please bring donations into the student services office and talk to Mrs Watson.
Thank you

The Ponytail Project
The Ponytail Project isn’t just about losing your hair—it’s about gaining a sense of pride and purpose. It’s about standing in solidarity with the families and individuals who are battling cancer every day. For many of us, this fight is personal. Almost everyone knows someone close—a family member or a friend —who has been affected by cancer. It’s a disease that hits home for so many of us, and through this project, we have the chance to support those who are going through some of the toughest times in their lives.
