Save The Date – 2025 United Nations Day: Canterbury College Multicultural Celebration
Each year, Canterbury proudly celebrates United Nations Day – a vibrant, community-wide event that recognises and honours the diverse cultures represented within our College family. Through a formal assembly, a Parade of Nations, live performances, and a dynamic multicultural festival, we come together to celebrate unity, respect, and global citizenship. We warmly invite all members of our community to join us for this special occasion – one of the biggest and most anticipated events on the College calendar.
