At Concord High School we are excited to announce the school Dux
for last year 2008 was an International Student from China.
Xiao Ma is a gifted student who worked hard to achieve outstanding
results in his Higher School Certificate.
Not only was Xiao awarded Dux but he also received an Award from the
International Student Centre – Sydney for his high Academic success.
A second student Nan Chen also received an Award from the ISC for service
to his school community. Both
students worked hard to achieve their goals.
The teachers and students at Concord High School are proud of their
achievements.
There are 52 International students currently enrolled at Concord High School.
This year many of our students have come from
Korea,
China with only one student
from Japan and another from India and one from Vietnam. The cross-cultural
experience of International students interacting with our local students is a
powerful educational experience. It allows for all students to enhance
their knowledge of each others culture and language. In an ever changing
global world it is essential for young people to develop tolerance and
understanding of other cultures.
The ongoing support of the LBOTE/International Students
Project Team is highly regarded in the school. Recent rule changes have
required schools to have a greater role in the welfare needs of young
International students. This year the team has joined forces with other
Project teams to encourage International Students to continue??? to participate
within the whole school community and to foster good relations.
One such project involves Year 10 International girls being targeted to
partake in the Year 10 leadership course organised by Ms Carol Davis, Year 10
Girls Advisor. Students in the past
who undertook the leadership course have gone on to be Prefects/leaders at Concord High School.
It would be very exciting to see a selection of International female
students become School Prefects, just as Nan Chen did in his last senior year.
Once
again at
Concord High School
we are fortunate to employ two Youth Officers who often liaise between students
and teachers. Seung Hwa Sue Han is a Korean speaker who has acquired her
TESOL Dipolma and is able to offer her professional knowledge and support in the
classroom with students. Jessie Huang speaks Chinese (Mandarin) and is currently
studying Radiography at Sydney
University. It is
important to note that Jessie is an ex-student of Concord who did extremely well in her HSC in
2007. The two liaison officers provide an
essential link between students and teachers and they are often in the classroom
offering English language support
