Clubs

In 1964 clubs were a very important part of life at Concordia. Lessons were interrupted every Wednesday afternoon, and apart from girls competing in basketball and hockey teams, all 300 students participated in clubs of their choosing.
Students were encouraged to ‘broaden their horizons’ and gain a deeper knowledge of an extra-curricular topic which interested them. The ten clubs were Handwork, Stamps and Coins, Drama, Current Affairs, Chess, Music, International Topics, Public Speaking, Boys’ Hobbies and Light Opera.

 

Mrs Champion supervised the junior girls in the Handwork Club. Their activities included cane-work, especially basket-making, as well as knitting for charity. The girls also sewed evening bags. Junior boys were keen members of the hobbies group where they learnt the art of model-making and practised with cars, plans and boats.
