Canterbury College Taipans Teams Score BIG At TAS eSports Grand Finals
Canterbury College Taipans Teams Score BIG At TAS eSports Grand Finals
After a full year of competing in eSports, The Associated Schools Grand Finals for Rocket League and League of Legends were held on Saturday 12 November 2022.
Our Canterbury Rocket League Team began the day playing against John Paul College and quickly secured a 3-1 victory, moving them onto the finals and facing last year's reigning champions St Columban's College.
The final was nail-bitingly tense, but Canterbury worked together as a united team, keeping their defences strong, and their opponents stayed scoreless after 35 minutes of play in a best-of-five match.
Ultimately, our Rocket League Team was successful in securing the TAS Championship Trophy!
Our Canterbury League of Legends Team were against more challenging opposition, playing out to 35 minutes in both rounds against Ormiston College and St Paul's School.
Still, they brilliantly built up an astounding 22 eliminations against their opponent in the finals.
Using a more prevailing and efficient playing style, Canterbury Secondary students Sam, Roy, Lucas, Peter and Stephen overcame their assertive rival team, and eventually took home the TAS Championship Trophy with a clean sweep.
Well done to all our competitors!

2022 Canterbury Christmas Appeal Fundraiser | Photos Now Available
Through thunderstorms aplenty, students flocked to the CEC to get festive at our 2022 Canterbury Christmas Appeal Fundraiser.
We heard lively (if not silky smooth) karaoke singers' joyous and spirited tones, as they took to the stage for some audience entertainment.
Guests enjoyed a BBQ banquet with snacks, including soft drinks and buttery popcorn - all in time for the cheerful Christmas movie Elf.
Thank you so much to everyone who participated by contributing a gold coin donation, or by purchasing food and drinks on the night.
These cash donations will go towards the Australian charity Orange Sky Australia, which provides a free laundry service, showers and conversations to those in need.
We also saw many contributions placed under our House Christmas trees, and these highly essential items are being turned into care packs and donated to Rosies - Friends On The Street.
This very worthy charity aims to connect our community, providing love, support and friendship to those who might be doing it tough this Christmas period.
The photos from this event are now AVAILABLE HERE on our Facebook Page.
