None if you can help it.I don't know about you but I wouldn't recommend Concordia College not on your life.I was there for a Year in 1992 and that was enough.Ridiculous Class Sizes and Rife Bullying.I am not sure what has changed in the last 21 years in regards to the principal and the staff though.I was asked to leave and made a fresh start at some North Eastern Area Private School and It was that little bit better.Yes there were some complete bitches and numpties who weren't nice people towards me but for the most part I made some terrific friends and the principal I got there(Rod Roberts for the first few years then Russell Eley for my final year in 1996)was a world away from the fella that was running Concordia in the same time frame.
I agree with the above I went to concordia college in the mid to late 90's and it was horrible, bullying was out of control from both students & teachers. Might be a good fit for some but back then it was ultra conservative with a culture of bullying and harassment. A few really great teachers but also lots of super creepy ones who's behavior today would be considered absolutely inappropriate & bordering on sexual harassment. I only realise how disgusting their behavior was as an adult. Teaching was non-inclusive with a culture of racism, sexism and antisemitism.
I live near Concordia College and have found the students to be consistently polite. The school is always upgrading something at the school during every school holidays interval. In the area of Malvern and Unley there is access to nearby multiple private and well regarded public schools - primary and high school. Not sure if it is just outside the catchment for Glenunga high school. Nearby Highgate has two free public tennis courts for residents. Good Parks in the area including Soutar Park. Here are some other great parks in the Unley area: https://www.unley.sa.gov.au/facilities-events/parks-playgrounds My family also like to visit the cinema at Mitcham shopping centre. Great gym at Mitcham opposite the shopping centre too.
You would be better off even if you live in the area that Concordia borders around in going to a North Eastern Area Private School.The Class Sizes are roughly half the amount.
