Dear Parents, Carers & Students,

Canterbury College is updating its blazer pocket, so is offering ALL 2023 students in Years 7-12, FREE replacement of their existing blazer pockets.

There are currently three different types of blazer pocket designs in circulation, and we are hoping to standardise them down to just one, in time for Term 2, 2023.

So please drop your older style blazer into our campus Uniform Shop, if you have not done so already, for the pocket upgrade.

This also includes any blazers that are brought in for secondhand sales, or blazer pockets with line awards.

Year 12s - Please work around Friday evening's upcoming Seniors Soiree, so that you have your blazer for this formal event.

Naturally, please ensure ALL blazers are clearly named for easy return to their rightful owners.

For any enquiries, please contact Ms Sandra Allen in our campus Uniform Shop – T: 07 3299 0925 | E: 

Thank you!
