Yalburru Community Café | NEW Earlier Opening & Closing Times Term 3 Trial: Mondays – Fridays (In-Term) | 7:00am – 12:00pm Midday
Yalburru Community Café | NEW Earlier Opening & Closing Times Term 3 Trial: Mondays – Fridays (In-Term) | 7:00am – 12:00pm Midday
Our Yalburru Community Café is currently trialling earlier opening and closing times right now for Term 3.
This popular venue has been getting more people waiting at the doors for service earlier and earlier over time, and experiencing very few customers during their last half hour of business.
So it’s time to give earlier trading hours a shot, with a view to long-term adoption if this trial proves successful.
NEW Yalburru Community Café Opening Hours | 30 MINUTES EARLIER!
NOW: Mondays – Fridays (In-Term) | 7:00am – 12:00pm Midday.
I look forward to seeing how the trial goes and getting any feedback you might have for me and my café staff.
Yours in Hospitality!
Mr Colin Mason
Manager of College Services

Students Performing Advanced Research Queensland (SPARQ-ed) Senior Research Immersion Program | Congratulations Rayan Mohammad
For the past week, Year 10 student Rayan Mohammad joined Years 10-12 students across Queensland, for the Students Performing Advanced Research Queensland (SPARQ-ed) Senior Research Immersion Program at the Translational Research Institute (TRI) over in Woolloongabba.
He has been working on a 'real world' research project titled: Targeting DNA Replication In Cancer.
Rayan experienced a busy few days completing laboratory induction and equipment training, before performing a High Content Imaging Assay and a DNA Fibre Assay inside TRI's state-of-the-art labs.
He also enjoyed the opportunity to attend two seminars by Professor Alex Brown and Dr Matthew Jones, as well as visit the microscopy facilities in the upper labs at the TRI.
The students have been analysing their results and preparing a presentation outlining their findings.
They will be presenting to their peers, parents, carers, teachers and the TRI research community.
This presentation will take place at 1:30pm TODAY (Friday 14 July) at the TRI Auditorium (SPARQ-ed Classroom), or online via Zoom.
SCAM ALERT: Illegal Discounted Payment Offers Using Stolen Credit Cards
SCAM ALERT: Illegal Discounted Payment Offers Using Stolen Credit Cards
Dear Parents & Carers,
Please be aware of a current scam where criminals are contacting households claiming to be able to pay off your various bills at a discounted rate.
They request that you send them your invoices, and in return, they will pay the total fees on your behalf - and then request you pay them back some lesser amount.
This is a scam, because the operators are actually paying these amounts using stolen credit cards, which are eventually declined by the bank upon receipt.
One family's Canterbury College fees payment has just been caught up in this trap and their payment rejected, so we are sending this community message to avoid other parents and carers getting caught out.
So please be aware and alert to this scam, and only deal with the original supplier only - such as Canterbury College Ltd.
For any payment queries, please contact our Finance Dept - T: 07 3299 0807 | E:
Thank you!

Becket's Year 9 Community Leader Ashutosh Vaitha Collects Another 1,002 Cup Noodles For Rosies: Friends On The Street!
Becket's Year 9 Community Leader Ashutosh Vaitha Collects Another 1,002 Cup Noodles For Rosies: Friends On The Street!
After the success of Becket's Term Two Cup Noodles Rosies Charity Food Drive, our Year 9 Becket Community Leader, Ashutosh Vaitha, thought he could do even more to help.
His family learned about Rosies' need for cup noodle donations, and how bad the situation was for the homeless and disadvantaged people living in the Logan region.
So Ashutosh's mum helped him create a poster, and then he reached out to more of his extended family and friends - the wider Indian community, his taekwondo buddies, doctors and nurses - to donate more cup noodles for Rosies - Friends On The Street.
Earlier in Term Two, Ashutosh had already single-handedly collected 330 cup noodles, through his mum's colleagues at the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital.
After his efforts over the mid-year break, he has managed to raise another 1,002 more cup noodles... WOW!
Ashutosh's mother is extremely proud of her son's efforts, and as Hindus, their religion focuses on love and compassion.
Mrs Seema Prasad-Vaitha wrote: "I try my best to make sure that both my sons are empathetic, and appreciate what they have in life, and the people in their lives."
"I believe by Ashutosh doing this collection, and giving people he doesn’t know his time, helping the less fortunate in his own Logan community, he has learnt a great life skill."
"I am truly proud of him."
Great job Ashutosh!
