Concordia’s very first Open Day was held on 24 September 1970. Similar to Gift and Visiting Day, it was designed to show parents, particularly those of prospective students, aspects of life and work at the College, both inside and outside the classroom.
During the afternoon gym squads from the first three forms (Years 8-10) competed with each other in the courtyard. In the chapel (now the Suaviter), Peter Schmidt directed the mixed choir which sang a selection of hymns and psalms as well as one folk song.
There were also exhibitions in the Craft Centre, art rooms and science laboratories, together with student demonstrations. It was a warm day, so drink stalls conducted a brisk business, and the Home Science area attracted many visitors by offering ‘succulent examples of their wares’.
