Service to others is a core component of the Christian faith that underpins the ethos and practices of Concordia College. In fulfilling our mission, we provide opportunities for students at all year levels to learn and grow through service and to reflect on their own spiritual development.

We have high expectations and aspirations for our students, who consistently achieve some outstanding academic outcomes. Most students go on to a quality tertiary education in universities throughout Australia and, in some cases, overseas. Our aspiration is for all Concordia graduates to leave with a quiet but confident sense of who they are, inspired and equipped to achieve and serve throughout their lives.

Primary Years Programme (PYP)

Concordia College – St John’s Campus offers a curriculum based on a framework that encourages students to become active and critical learners through engaging, relevant and challenging learning opportunities. It is through a pedagogy of inquiry and constructivism, the heart of the PYP philosophy, that students are prepared to be active participants in a lifelong journey of learning. Students inquire into topics of personal interest that may have significance within their local and broader global communities, allowing for voice, choice and ownership in taking action, an important component of this IB programme. Essential skills, capabilities and competencies are fostered and developed through subject specific and transdisciplinary learning, preparing them for life beyond the classroom. Primary Years students are supported in all aspects of development: social, emotional, physical, cultural, intellectual and spiritual.

Middle Years Programme (MYP)

The Middle Years Programme at Concordia College, encompassing Years 7 to 10, has a strong focus on student inquiry and developing a love of lifelong learning. Students take a range of subjects to provide breadth of knowledge in preparation for further studies. Interdisciplinary units are explored at each year level, and the Personal Project is completed in Year 10 to showcase the culmination of students’ studies and exploration of the six Global Contexts. There is an emphasis on study beyond the classroom, with various excursions and camps undertaken. All students are given an opportunity to experience learning in a different environment by participating in a range of activities to serve and help others within the local community. The Middle Years Programme gives students an opportunity to build on the Learner Profile and develop the attributes to enable them to participate in the world around them.
