Today's Year 8 BEE Logan Big Ideas Challenge @ Yarrabilba State College
Our Year 8 Business Enterprise & Entrepreneurship (BEE) students attended today's 2022 Logan Big Ideas Challenge hosted by Future Anything at the Yarrabilba State College.
The Big Ideas Challenge is a fast-paced and hands-on day of listening, learning and doing.
It culminates in teams of students pitching their own innovative solutions for a complex local issue.
Today's theme was: Technology X.
Our students worked with other schools on hands-on ideation sessions and heard from local entrepreneurs.
They worked through processes to explore and solve problems, and design solutions for an innovative idea using technology - to make the world a better place!
The skills that our students learned today, tie in with their assessment for the upcoming Pop-Up Market Stalls happening later this term.
Today's Agenda
- Welcome (Intro, Day Overview, Future of Work).

- Picking a problem and group forming.
- The Entrepreneur’s Odyssey (Steps 1-6).

2022 Australian Youth Volleyball Championships @ Bendigo: Canterbury Students Competition Results
2022 Australian Youth Volleyball Championships @ Bendigo: Canterbury Students Competition Results
Canterbury College had five students travel down to Bendigo over the September holidays, representing Queensland at the 2022 Australian Youth Volleyball Championships (AYVC).
This competition is an elite Australia-wide volleyball tournament, including age groups from U14 to U18.
This year, teams travelled from all over the ACT, NSW, QLD, VIC, WA, SA and TAS to compete.
Our very own Lucas Ioapo (Year 8), Jodeci Faraimo-Saolele (Year 10), Marli Cetinich (Year 11), Jeremy Kriletich (Year 11) and Jalen Harrison (Year 12) were all selected to represent QLD.
Flying down to Bendigo for the competition from 25-29 September, our very own Taipans Volleyballers wore their QLD jerseys with pride, coming away with some formidable results.
Congratulations to Lucas, Marli, Jodeci, Jeremy and Jalen!
Lucas: U14 White - 2nd place.
Marli: U17 White - 6th place.
Jodeci: U17 Maroon - 1st place.
Jeremy: U18 Maroon - 2nd place.
Jalen: U18 White - 6th place.
Alongside these achievements at the AYVC, Jalen, Jeremy and Marli were invited by Volleyball Australia to extend their stay in Bendigo.
For an extra three days, they continued training alongside 50 of Australia’s best Volleyballers under some of Australia’s greatest coaches.
What an awesome experience and a testament to the hard work these athletes put in - both on and off the court.
Jeremy Kriletich has also been invited to attend an Australian Volleyball Academy (AVA) Camp this coming weekend.
The AVA headquarters is located within the Australian Institute of Sport (AIS) in Canberra, and their primary objective is to identify and develop Olympic potential athletes for both Indoor and Beach Volleyball.
Jeremy flies down to Canberra this weekend, and has a second weekend camp in November with the AVA.
So all the best to Jeremy at these camps. Watch this space!

Canterbury College And The School Locker Announce Uniforms Price Freeze Until 1 JULY 2023!
Canterbury College And The School Locker Announce Uniforms Price Freeze Until 1 JULY 2023!
Dear Parents & Carers,
With high inflation and rising interest rates putting added financial pressure on our families, we are extremely pleased to announce that Canterbury College, with School Uniform partners The School Locker, have jointly imposed a price freeze on uniform items until 1 JULY 2023!
Both organisations are very happy to deliver this news, after the last two frustrating years of heavily COVID-disrupted production lines and delivery dates beyond our control, for many of our core uniform items.
Thankfully, these are all now largely back in stock, or suitable substitutes have been sourced, with bulk deliveries received across Terms 2 and 3.
Over the past several years, the Uniform Supply Industry has experienced significant cost increases in raw materials, factory production, onshore freight charges, and wage costs for local Australian retail teams.
Every level of the supply chain, including local suppliers, have been passing on these costs to the consumer over this time.
With these adverse conditions in mind, The School Locker holds a service agreement with Canterbury, which allows for annual CPI price increases, to compensate for these added operational expenses.
However, in partnership with Canterbury College leadership, The School Locker has committed to deferring any price increases to the middle of next year and absorbing these higher expenses.
Both parties genuinely understand the difficult economic environment at present, and appreciate the loyalty of our parent body over this year’s transitional period.
So in return, we offer this nine month Canterbury uniform price freeze until 1 JULY 2023, to lend a very practical helping hand.
Kind regards,
Mr Dan Walker Ms Harmony Bonney

Letter Received @ Canterbury College From QLD Minister For Transport & Main Roads Mr Mark Bailey MP
Letter Received @ Canterbury College From QLD Minister For Transport & Main Roads Mr Mark Bailey MP
Dear Principal,
In a world-first road safety initiative, new speed camera technology will soon target speeding drivers at selected school zones and roadworks sites across Queensland.
The pilot will involve speed cameras deployed in flashing school zone signs at a number of schools, which have been selected based on a risk assessment, conducted by the Department of Transport and Main Roads (TMR).
Selected schools will be notified before installation commences, and additional signage will be installed prior, advising of speed camera enforcement in the area.
Speeding continues to be one of the main contributing factors in deaths and serious injuries on our roads.
We know school children are among our most vulnerable road users.
This speed camera pilot will act as a deterrent to drivers, with fines and demerit points to be issued to those who fail to slow down.
These fines are used to fund important road safety initiatives and education across Queensland.
The message of QRSW this year is that 'road safety starts with me'.
This is particularly relevant to drivers and riders around school zones.
Everyone has a role in keeping our roads safe, and it is imperative drivers reduce their speed to the signed 40 km/h speed limit, and be aware of activity by young children on or near the road.
Research has consistently shown a link between camera enforcement and reductions in speed-related fatalities and serious injuries.
Sites selected for the cameras have been chosen based on suitability for the program, primarily from reported and recorded speeding behaviour.
Depending on the outcome of the pilot, the initiative may be expanded to additional schools across the state.
The cameras will only operate during the designated times on the flashing school zone signs, and drivers who do the right thing and slow down have nothing to worry about.
I would appreciate if you could please share information on this road safety pilot with your school’s parents and carers.
Any questions about this new speed camera technology, targeting speeding drivers at selected school zones and roadworks sites across Queensland, can be directed to TMR by email at or telephone on 07 3066 2835.
TMR will be pleased to assist.
Yours sincerely,
Queensland Minister for Transport and Main Roads
