House System
As with most Australian schools, Concordia College utilises a house system. There are currently four houses, three named after three of the streets surrounding the College and the fourth, Malvern after the neighbouring suburb.
- Cheltennam - Green (The Green Army/Warthog Army)
- Highgate - Dark Blue (The Highgate Heroes/Highgate Hippies)
- Malvern - Light Blue (The Malvern Spartans/Malverknights)
- Winchester - Red (The Winchester Warriors/Windians)
Students represent their house in a number of activities, including a Sports day held at Santos Stadium, a Swimming carnival held at Unley Memorial Swimming Pool, and lunchtime house sports. Students earn points for their house through participation in these activities, and the house with the most points at the conclusion of the school year is awarded the House Shield.

“Daily life is governed by an economic system in which the production and consumption of insults tends to balance out.”
