Concordia Lutheran College Old Scholars

Congratulations to Jemma Welsh - class of 2025 - on being awarded the ‘go beyond’ scholarship at UniSQ. We are so proud of Jemma and look forward to following her journey!

😁

The Class of 2025 is already showing what is possible.

From university and apprenticeships to careers in trades, creative industries and beyond, our graduates are stepping confidently into exciting and varied futures.

What makes us most proud is not only what they are doing, but who they have become along the way. Young people ready to work hard, serve others and make their mark on the world.

At Concordia, students are encouraged to discover their strengths, pursue their passions and leave with the confidence to take on whatever comes next.

Meet Andrew Ferguson, Concordia Class of 1990.

Andrew describes his journey since school as a mixed bag, filled with hard work, setbacks, resilience and plenty of lessons along the way. From studying and working across Queensland, to owning a business, rebuilding after challenges and raising three children, his story is one of persistence and growth.

Today, Andrew works as a Sales Agronomist and has remained connected to agriculture throughout his career.

When reflecting on his time at Concordia Lutheran College, Andrew says the College provided structure, stability and security, with boarding life holding some of his best memories. He still remembers the thrill of finally defeating St Marys in his final year after years of tough losses.

His advice to today’s students is simple and powerful:

"Live in the moment. Do not worry about things you cannot control. Be a good mate, friend and classmate. Do your best in everything."

Stories like Andrew’s remind us that success is not always a straight line. It is built through character, resilience and the values formed along the way.

Are you planning a reunion in 2026 or 2027? 👇

It is a good feeling watching our Class of 2025 find their direction.

Some are chasing long held goals. Others are discovering new ones. All of them are stepping forward with a quiet confidence that comes from being supported and known.

That foundation matters. It is built over time through opportunity, encouragement and people who genuinely care.

We are proud of who they are and who they will become.

If you are looking for a school where your child is fully known, fully loved and supported to grow, come and see Concordia for yourself.

👏👏

The journey continues for our Class of 2025.

We are proud to see our former students stepping confidently into their next chapter.

Once a Concordian, always a Concordian.

Once a Concordian, always a Concordian: Mark’s story.

From Concordia Lutheran College to the United States, Mark Singh-Hueter has built a life of service, leadership and faith.

After graduating in 1978, Mark returned to the United States where he studied mathematics and computer science at university. His Concordia education helped prepare him well for his next chapter, including four years in the United States Air Force working as a missile defence simulation programmer.

Mark later followed his calling into ministry. After completing seminary, he was ordained as a pastor and has since served congregations in Ohio, New York and Pennsylvania. Today, Mark is the Senior Pastor at Advent Lutheran Church in Harleysville, Pennsylvania, just north of Philadelphia.

Looking back, Mark says his time at Concordia shaped many of the values that guided his career.

“I always tell people I learned responsibility and discipline at Concordia. The education prepared me well academically, and the community helped shape my faith and character.”

Mark also fondly remembers the friendships, music and sport that were such a big part of school life, from playing multiple sports each afternoon to performing with the folk group and singing in chapel services.

His advice for today’s Concordia students is simple:

“Take advantage of every opportunity. The education is excellent, but the experiences in sport, the arts and the community help you grow in so many ways.”

We love hearing where our Concordians have gone next.

If you are planning a school reunion or would like to share your own story, we would love to hear from you. Once a Concordian, always a Concordian.
