2021 Junior School Remembrance Day Service
2021 Junior School Remembrance Day Service
Our Canterbury Junior School commemorated Remembrance Day 2021 with a special service this morning.
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in the year 1918, World War One officially ended.
Remembrance Day is a time to remember the honour and courage of those who died or suffered for Australia's cause in all wars and armed conflicts.
Today we invited special guest Warrant Officer Matthew Vernon to be a part of our ceremony.
Warrant Officer Vernon is a Force Element Group Training Coordinator for Combat Support Group, at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base over at Amberley.
Each Junior School class also made wreaths that were decorated with poppies.
The poppy has a special significance as they were the first flowers to bloom after the devastating human losses on the European battlefields during the First World War.
Poppies are worn on Remembrance Day and are also used along with other flowers to make commemorative wreaths.
Our Junior School Class Captains laid the wreaths beneath the Australian Flag during the reading of In Flanders Fields - a famous wartime poem, to pay respect and offer tribute to those who lost their lives in 'The Great War'.
Our students then recited The Ode and Mr Temple played The Last Post, which was followed by a minute of silence and the playing of The Rouse.

2021 City Of Logan Sports Awards: Two Nominations!
2021 City Of Logan Sports Awards: Two Nominations!
The City Of Logan Sports Awards will be held THIS Saturday night 13 November at the Logan Metro Sports Centre in Crestmead.
This high-end celebration is a chance to pay tribute to Logan’s elite athletes and inspirational sports people.
These Awards recognise home-grown sporting icons whose accomplishments have seen them reach the highest level in their chosen sport.
Our Canterbury Taipans are nominees in two categories:
YOUNG ATHLETE WITH A DISABILITY - Rhylee Jackson (Year 9).
Rhylee Jackson is an excellent tennis player who has been profoundly deaf his whole life.
While competing very well in mainstream competition, Rhylee has excelled in the past 12 months at a National level in the Deaf & Hard Of Hearing (DHOH) competitions.
Thanks to Matt Bourne and Drew Parker for doing such a great job with squads and individual lessons, and we look forward to cheering Rhylee on the night.
SPORTS EVENT OF THE YEAR - Canterbury Taipans Inaugural Junior Girls Tennis Championships 2021.
In July 2021, the Canterbury Taipans hosted the first ever ‘ALL GIRL’ National Point Junior Event.
It was ground-breaking, inspiring and brilliantly delivered thanks to the teams in marketing, facilities and tennis.
The event drew some amazing feedback and has sparked the plans for a ‘Girls Only’ circuit adopted by Tennis Queensland, to increase the participation of women in sport and particularly, to rescue the dropout rate in female teenage tennis players.
Please wish us luck on Saturday night!
Canterbury's New Director Of Sport And Activities Announced!
Canterbury's New Director Of Sport And Activities Announced!
In 2022, Glen Walker, who has served as our Director of Sport at Canterbury since 2012, will take over as Head of Kime House - an exciting new chapter in Glen’s contribution to our College.
We therefore have advertised for, and appointed, a new Director of Sport and Activities.
As we might have expected, there were applications from interstate and overseas, as well as many from GPS, QGSSSA, AIC, TAS and APS schools across Queensland.
Our emerging reputation as a school ‘on the move’ saw an unprecedented level of interest for this position.
So we are proud to announce Catherine Krzensk will be our new Director of Sport and Activities, commencing in Term 1 of 2022.
Catherine is currently the Head of Year 7 at Somerville House.
In her ten years at Somerville, she has undertaken a range of leadership roles in their sport and pastoral programs.
She served as Director of Aquatics (Swimming, Water Polo and Sailing), Acting Director of Sport, and as a hockey, water polo and football coach.
Prior to Somerville, Catherine worked as a teacher at Brisbane Girls Grammar School and Mary MacKillop College, and also owned and operated a successful Learn To Swim School.
Catherine also coordinated the University of Queensland’s recreational activities program for eight years.
Catherine articulated not only a clear vision for the future of sports and activities at Canterbury, but showed enormous experience at the highest levels across multiple sports, which made her the stand-out candidate in an extraordinarily high-quality field.
Furthermore, she has extensive experience coordinating sport carnivals, events, trips and tours.
Catherine is a Science and HPE teacher and holds a Bachelor of Applied Science/Human Movement and Master of Educational Studies (Leadership) from the University of Queensland.
Importantly, Catherine understands the current strong position of Canterbury Sport, created by the current team led by Glen Walker, and appreciates the excellent quality of coordinators and head coaches that we already have on staff.
As we seek to expand our non-sport activity offerings, such as clubs and societies, ‘thought-sports’ and academic enrichment groups, Catherine’s vision for high-quality, co-curricular opportunities for every student in the school will align very well.
Her first step in 2022 will be charting out a strategic plan for Canterbury to be recognised as the best P-12 coeducational sporting school in Queensland by 2025.
We look forward to seeing Catherine around campus in the new school year!

Canterbury College: First LEGO League Challenge
Canterbury College: First LEGO League Challenge
This past weekend saw two teams represent Canterbury College at the First LEGO League Challenge at the Brisbane Regional Competition.
The students have worked very hard over the past few months to build, program and then compete with their robot.
Each team identified a real-life problem within the community, with the aim of developing a LEGO solution.
They brainstormed in teams, researched the latest developments related to their investigation, and made an implementation plan.
This process, including their problem resolution, was presented to a panel during the day.
The students demonstrated gracious professionalism throughout all the events of the day and represented Canterbury College with pride.
The culmination of hard work, perseverance and diligence lead to all teams having an enjoyable experience at the competition.
The teams Cargo Vroom and Connect’A’Roos did an excellent job showcasing the skills they had learnt leading up to the event.
A special congratulations to the Year 5/6 team who came away with an award as Rising All-Stars across all areas of this program.
A massive congratulations to all students who participated!
