Our ultimate goal is to eliminate a lack of handy bus routes as a reason for any parents or carers not enrolling their children here at Waterford.

So please share this information with any families you might know, who are considering starting or switching over to Canterbury for Semester Two, to make that initial enquiry with us using the contact details below:

Enrolment Enquiries – 07 3299 0888 | 
Online Enquiry Form – General Enrolment Enquiry Form - Canterbury College

Online Application Form – Application For Enrolment | Canterbury College

These three new bus services ADD to our existing coverage spanning all directions north, south, east and west of our campus, without any impact or removal of current bus routes.

We are also steadily implementing Logan Coaches’ new RollCall App School Bus Management System, which allows for easier bus route student sign-ups, route change notifications, absentee notices, payments, live bus arrival times tracking, and parental student tracking for child safety.

Importantly, this RollCall App clearly shows where each bus stop is located on each street summarised in the new bus route guides featured here.

Full RollCall details are available from:

RollCall School Bus Management System Website.

Logan Coaches – logancoaches.com.au | 07 5546 3077 | 
Address: 1 Centenary Place, Logan Village. Office Hours: 8am – 5pm, Monday – Friday.

And will soon be replicated on our College Website – Bus Routes - Canterbury College.

COMMUNITY FEEDBACK

Finally, here is a sample of the community feedback on the originally proposed two bus routes – both positive and negative – with Logan Coaches’ direct responses.

33,680 Audience Reach | 2,345 Link Clicks | 74 Likes & 4 Loves & 0 Dislikes | 38 Comments | 8 Shares.

Draft Bus Run 1 - Covers Parkinson, Drewvale, Browns Plains, Hillcrest, Regents Park, Crestmead, Waterford.

Bus run 1 would be fantastic. – MR

School run 1 would be great for my girls. Also, roughly what kind of fares are we looking at? – VG

Great idea. – PK

We would access run 1. – MC

We would use bus run 1 if we enrolled. – SA

Run 1 please. – DN

School Bus Run 1. – RD

We would use bus run 1 if we enrolled. – RCR

School Bus Run 1. – SK

My son is a current student at Canterbury College and we currently use bus route 29 (which is awesome by the way). We would be interested in the PM potential bus route to Parkinson if it had the ability to drop my son off at the aquatic centre on Algester Road in the afternoon. The proposed route goes past the aquatic centre. – PE

Logan Coaches: Service would pick up at TransLink Stop opposite the Aquatic Centre (6:55am) and drop off at the TransLink Stop at the Aquatic Centre (approx. 4:40pm).

We would certainly be interested in using the new bus route through Parkinson. – MMcF

It is really great news, we live in Regents Park. I have few queries regarding this bus route. This bus route will only take Canterbury students or other schools students? At Waller Road, whereabouts it will pick kids from? Thanks for making this bus route available. Have a great weekend! – SC

Logan Coaches: This service would be for Canterbury Students.

In this case, the bus would pick up at any TransLink Bus Stop between Lamberth Drive and Browns Plains Road.

I've seen other school buses go through bus run 1 daily. I've been wondering why a Canterbury bus doesn't come through that area. – GS

Thanks for drafting a new school bus line plan. I think this Parkinson route will take too much time due to excessive number of stops. – PC

Logan Coaches: We needed to set a base timetable for this proposed route.

The Parkinson/Algester service will add an additional 30 min in the morning and an additional 20-30 min in the afternoon, therefore an extra hour to the school day. Why the need to replace the existing service? – SE

Logan Coaches: This is an additional Bus Service and not added to Run 31 that services Calamvale and Sunnybank.

Draft Bus Run 2 - Covers Eagleby, Beenleigh, Windaroo, Bahrs Scrub, Brookhaven, Holmview, Waterford.

We’re at Bahrs and already access bus number 32 from Ormeau but would certainly use run 2. – JT

We would use bus run 2. – CS

Bus run 2. – LR

Other Suggestions/Comments

Be good if there was a bus that came via Forest Lake. – ALC

Logan Coaches: Too far out at present sorry. Closest Bus Stop would be Johnson Road.

My children get the bus to/from Mt Warren park. If this new bus route comes in, they will no longer be able to get the bus due to the major change in time. The bus route in effect now for my children is one of the main reasons they can go to Canterbury. It will take 1hr for them to get home instead of the 15mins it takes now on the bus which means they won’t be able to attend their sports after school. This is not a good choice for those already using the service in Mt Warren Park. – KS

Logan Coaches: Bus 32 will still run through Mt Warren Park on the current Timetable, therefore no change here. The new Bus Route would only travel through Mt Warren Park enroute to Brookhaven Estate.

I am just emailing to put in my expression of interest into a possible future bus route in Greenbank. I’d love to be able to put my kids on the bus when they are old enough. – DB

Logan Coaches: Run 29 already services Pub Lane and surrounds. Could possibly be amended.

Would this be for Canterbury students only? – MD

Logan Coaches: Yes.

If you just send your kids to the nearest local school they don't need a bus. – CC

--------------------

Again lastly, please spread the word on these THREE new bus routes, and help us grow our wonderful Canterbury community!

The students enjoyed keynote presentations from Duku Fore (Founder of Rich Dreams), Matt Acton and Abby Cameron from the B105 Morning Crew, and various young entrepreneurial and tech leaders on Australian panels.

Students also participated throughout the day in an Ideation Workshop where they identified a problem and brainstormed a solution.

2022 Secondary School Interhouse Athletics Carnival: THIS FRIDAY

2022 Secondary School Interhouse Athletics Carnival: THIS FRIDAY

Dear Parents and Carers,

I am sure, like us, you currently have some tired teenagers who are looking forward to the mid-year school holidays.

The opportunity to re-energise before the very busy Term 3 is definitely needed.

We ensure class disruption is minimal throughout the term itself, and reserve our special carnival days for the end of term, like this Friday 17 June.

The Term 2 Interhouse Athletics Carnival is a wonderful opportunity for all students to get involved, have some fun with their friends, enjoy some outdoor exercise, get competitive on the track, and earn some points for their House.

This carnival is different in that students of ALL athletic abilities are given an opportunity to participate across the entire day.

They spend the event with their year level moving through a variety of activities including: ball games, javelin, discus, shot put and 100m and 200m participation runs.

Students also cheer on their friends in the competitive events.

The day concludes with the Clash of the Chants and an All Ages Relay, where we see House and College spirit at its best.

And our Year 12 students check off another last... their last school Athletics Carnival.

Students are engaged for the whole school day and have great fun with their friends and the students in their House.

I encourage you all to send your son or daughter to school this Friday to be a part of this great event and a part of the College community.

They will have three full weeks to rejuvenate before returning to school on Monday 11 July 2022.

Remember there is no Student Free Day to commence Term 3 after the many Term 1 school days lost to COVID and February's Logan Floods.

I look forward to watching our students challenge themselves, surprise themselves with what they can do, and have some fun.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs Rebecca Adamson
Head of Secondary School
