An Exciting and Significant Project!
St John’s Campus Development
During 2019 Concordia College engaged in a comprehensive Master Planning process with the intention of creating a plan
that will guide the future development of facilities across our College. We are thankful to the staff, students and parents who
provided valuable information that helped us complete this important process.
As previously announced, the two major projects that have been prioritised in our Master Plan include the redevelopment of
the St John’s Campus followed by the construction of a new Concordia College Gymnasium.
The redevelopment of our St John’s Campus will involve the renewal of our aging facilities while also ensuring that our
learning environment supports the delivery of an engaging, relevant and challenging curriculum that equips students with
the skills, competencies and attributes they require to confidently engage in a rapidly changing world. The St John’s
Campus redevelopment will also allow for an increase in ELC enrolments, including the addition of a program for three-year-
olds. Similarly, the redevelopment will see enrolments in the Upper Primary years expanded with additional classes at Years
4, 5 and 6.
The decision to plan for this enrolment growth was driven by a desire to:
Secure enrolments for the future by responding to demand for earlier entry to ELC and entry into the Upper Primary
years
Provide increased financial security for our College
This new development is also supported by a feasibility study, which was completed in 2019 and confirmed the viability of
our plans.
With these decisions now confirmed we have been busy preparing for a planned commencement of building next year, with
the intention of our new facilities being ready for 2023. During these initial phases of preparation and development of our
conceptual vision we have engaged the services of Proprius Advisory, Property Consultants. More recently we have also
engaged Brown Falconer as architects for our project. We are pleased to have an innovative and strong team of consultantsworking for us to help realise our vision for this exciting and significant project that will serve the needs of our students here at the St John’s Campus well into the future. We are looking forward to continuing the refinement of our plans over the coming months. During this important process there will be opportunity provided for input by staff, students and parents. Please watch for further updates and information as we continue to progress this project. Michael Paech Principal - St John's Campus Sally Staggs Business Manager - St John's Campus Year 1s Celebrate 100 Days of School The Year 1 classes have been counting down the days at school since the beginning of Term 1. We reached our 100th day in Year 1 on Monday 2 August. To celebrate this, students completed a writing task where they were asked to think about what life would be like when they are 100 years old. We then made our own self-portraits using craft supplies and took a photo using the ‘Aging Booth’ app to make us look old. During fitness time, we were involved in a group rotation where we did different exercises – 100 times! Miss Russell, Mrs Harrip and Ms Barlett Year 1 Classroom Teachers Siassi Partnership Update Since 2011, Concordia College St John’s Campus has shared a partnership with the schools of the Siassi Islands in Papua New Guinea. During this time, we have built relationships with the people of Siassi and The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Papua New Guinea based in Lae. The partnership has been very fruitful in sharing Jesus’ love and supporting education on Siassi. Concordia College staff visits to the Siassi Islands and reciprocal visits by Siassi teachers to our school have provided rich and meaningful connections between both communities. We have equipped teachers with professional development in workshops tailored to their specific needs, including teaching English as an additional language. The key focus of the partnership has always been based upon building Christian relationship with the people of Siassi. Unfortunately, one of the global impacts of COVID-19 is the restriction on international travel. Over the past few years, in our partnership with the schools of Siassi, we have faced repeated obstacles when trying to travel to the islands. It now seems that we will not be able to travel to PNG for a long time, possibly a number of years. In light of this, and after much prayerful consideration, we feel it is necessary to pause our partnership with the schools of Siassi for a period of time. This allows us all to reflect and acknowledge that, despite our best efforts and strong desire, our partnership has struggled to remain connected and fruitful in recent years. At Concordia College, we remain committed to praying for the people of Siassi and will reassess at the end of 2021 to decide whether our partnership can continue into the future.
We recognise that some of our school families have been very connected with this partnership over a number of years and we thank you for your contribution.

Student Free Day - Friday 4 September
From the Head of Middle School
Wellbeing has become an intrinsic part of life at Concordia in 2020! Our research program has been extended this year to
allow data collection at St John’s Campus to move towards an integrated approach from ELC to the post-school year. This
has involved interviews and surveys with staff.
The first draft of our wellbeing framework is currently going out for feedback to all staff members and our Education
Committee. It is based on local and global evidence and targets key risk and protective factors for mental health. This will
involve a whole-school approach with a mix of explicit teaching, but with the application of key skills woven through school
interactions. In the new model, key skills will be taught in a developmental sequence from ELC to the post-school year, and
Pastoral Care will involve not only students, but also staff, families and recent graduates.
Body image project: In conjunction with Dr Simon Wilksch from Flinders University’s Psychology Department, we are
trialling an evidence-based eight-week program in Year 6, versus Year 8, to test how early these skills gain traction;
Bullying and Relationships: In conjunction with Professor Phillip Slee from Flinders’ Education Department, we will be
reviewing policy and education around bullying and relationships. This will involve surveying students, staff and
parents around policy knowledge and utility. We will also use school data around frequency and type of issues. An
eight-lesson evidence-based program will also be trialled in Years 4 and 7 (identified as key transition periods from
local and global data) after training by Phillip Slee;
Staff wellbeing: Our second workshop on key psychological skills and active management of wellbeing is scheduled
for Week 9 of this term. The Leadership Team has utilised staff wellbeing survey feedback regarding workloads and
meetings, allowing more space for planning on Professional Development days. The best structure for staff wellbeing
is under discussion as part of the overall Concordia wellbeing framework;
Parent resource: Concordia has subscribed to “School TV”, which gives curated information from experts on a range
of socioemotional issues. We will be explicitly referring to sections of this, coordinated with our wellbeing strategies,
in the future, but it is freely accessible now on our website;
30-day wellbeing challenge: In conjunction with Healthy Minds, our Psychologist-in-Residence, Dr Catherine
Johnson, has developed a 30-day wellbeing challenge for primary and secondary students. This was optional for
teachers to take up, depending on existing Pastoral Care plans, and the option was eventually selected for Year 8
and Year 10.As you can see, the College is committed to the wellbeing of our students and our school community, and we will continue
to refine our data and incorporate new initiatives. We will keep you informed of these as they arise, and apprised of research
results as they come to hand.

Year 11 Wellbeing Workshop
On Wednesday 29 July, the Year 11 cohort attended a wellbeing workshop run by psychologist Dr Tom Nehmy. As the
demands of senior schooling are beginning to make themselves felt amongst this cohort, it was great timing for the students
to receive a number of messages around wellbeing.
The first key message was that ‘wellbeing’ is about the positive health of the whole body.
Dr Nehmy introduced the ‘Wellbeing Wheel’, which identified six aspects of life:
1. Primary relationships
2. Biological needs and bodily health
3. Exercise
4. Psychological skills
5. Fun, interests and social life
6. Values, meaning and purpose
Students were asked to give themselves a score out of 10 for each point, with Dr Nehmy assuring the group that scoring
around a 7/10 for each point would indicate ‘healthy’ wellbeing – we don’t have to be perfect!
Another key message related to the way in which we respond to challenge. Many times in life we face challenging tasks.
Our evolutionary response is to avoid the situation: to run away, or hide, or go a different way. It is important for us to take
‘safe challenges’ – things that are difficult, a bit scary, but are not going to harm us, such as public speaking, abseiling or
introducing ourselves to new people.
The highest indicator of resilience is the willingness to take on challenges. Dr Nehmy encouraged us to aim for ‘willingness’
rather than ‘calm’. Habituation makes the tough seem easier over time; what seems difficult to others who have never tried it
is not so difficult for those of us who have repeatedly taken on the particular challenge, as we have built up our resilience
and ability to cope. [If you will excuse the gratuitous plug: much like the habituation of an IB Diploma student for study…!]
Hand in hand with willingness to have a go is healthy thinking. Dr Nehmy showed two clips: Ash Barty praising her opponent
after a defeat, and indicating that she was still upbeat about her season’s prospects (today was only one day); and Neale
Daniher talking to Melbourne Football Club about Fight MND, ‘Life’s good, but it doesn’t promise to be fair.’
Dr Nehmy finished by advising the students to practise self-compassion. What is my messaging to myself? Positive self-
compassion boosts resilience, willingness, and strength.
As Jack (11SBUD) noted,
“I found the presentation very interesting because it had many important messages that relate to us as Year
11 students - I liked how Dr Nehmy explained that every day won't be amazing and we will fail at times andhave bad days as we move through life, but we can learn from these mistakes and overcome these obstacles.
This makes us stronger, better and more resilient people. It puts into perspective that we should not be
worried when we feel sad at times in life; it's human nature and if we were always happy, there would probably
be something wrong with us!”

Red Shield Appeal - Term 2 Fundraiser
Throughout Term 2, we supported Unley Salvation Army’s Red Shield Appeal. At various chapels and assemblies we raised
awareness of the appeal and the work of the Salvos in our community. Due to the restrictions brought on by COVID-19, the
Salvos couldn’t go through with the annual door knock and sleep-out event in the Unley Soldiers Memorial Gardens.
Concordia has usually raised funds in support of the appeal in this way. Instead, Concordia created an online fundraiser for
the College open for students and families to donate to the cause. To align with the idea of isolation experienced by victims
of homelessness, a group of students braved the weather and slept out in their backyards alone in a thoughtful effort to
raise funds for the appeal. We also held a non-uniform day for all students late in the term, where all funds raised were
donated to the appeal. We raised $1,470 from the non-uniform day and just under $5000 ($4,799) from our Digital
Doorknock for a total of $6,269. That’s a fantastic result! We’d like to say a massive thanks to Reno Elms (The Salvation
Army, Unley) and Pastor Dale for all their help in organising this great fundraiser. A big thanks also to all the students and
College families for their incredible support.

Thematic Text Study in Year 8; An Update on our Learning Journey
Our Year 8 cohort have continued to explore the Statement of Inquiry Circumstance takes you places but community keeps
you there, as part of their ‘Red Dog’ thematic text study. Late in Week 2, students commenced their learning with a lesson
on ‘Australian Icons’, to provide a social context to the text. Students indulged in a Caramello Koala (strictly related to being
an icon!), enjoyed a '70s Australian music playlist and were asked to identify as many ‘Australian-isms’ as they could from
Australian Geographic’s anniversary image. They then engaged in a station activity, where students moved around Murtoa
to investigate varied aspects of the text, including life in 1970s Australia, the mining industry, the importance of dogs in
bringing community together and Indigenous links to community through picture books. Next up: Emma Rieger from our
Inclusive Learning Team will be guiding the students through Sketch Noting!
The Year 8 Team
Drama WorkshopsDuring Week 2, Year 9 and 10 Drama students took part in a Physical Theatre workshop with Craig McArdle from McArts. Craig is an actor, director and theatre maker from the UK who has lived and worked in Adelaide for the last eight years. His workshops were challenging, engaging and fun, and students were able to learn a whole lot of new tips and tricks to enhance their performance work. In what has obviously been a year like no other, learning in Drama and about the Arts industry has looked very different. We were very grateful to have this opportunity to work with Craig and we look forward to welcoming audiences back to the Drama Centre to see live performances very soon. Emma Williams Head of Drama Eat Around the World in Year 8 Food Design We may not be able to travel around the world, but we’ve brought some cultures to us here in Year 8 Food Design! In ‘Eat Around the World’ our students researched and discovered various cultures’ national dishes. They completed a detailed workflow plan, food order of specific ingredients and presented their tables with embellishments and stylised flair from their chosen culture, including cranberry juice for wine!

In what has become somewhat of an annual tradition in Ms NT’s Year 9 English class, local sound engineer Josh Williams came to present on how sound is used to manipulate audience response in film and television. He brought in his equipment, disclosed tricks of the trade and industry, and encouraged students to share their ambitions about future artistic pursuits. The session will be used as a complementary resource when the class engage in their summative analysis on how director Tim Burton utilises musical score in his films. Inclusive Education Teacher Emma Rieger, who attended the session, also provided supporting Sketch Notes for the students to utilise when constructing their response.
