Uniform Pricing
Parents selling uniforms themselves can naturally decide their own item prices on the day.
Donated uniforms will not be specifically ‘priced’ so that purchasing parents can pay whatever they can afford or feel is reasonable.
Our goal is NOT making money BUT getting these second-hand uniforms into the hands of parents who need them!
Please Note: ALL profits from donated school uniforms will be split 50/50 between the Canterbury College Sport Supporters Group and Performing Arts Supporters Group. THANK YOU!
This is a CASH PREFERRED EVENT.
Parents selling items themselves will need their own cash float or Square Card Reader.
College donated items can be purchased preferably by cash, but Canterbury will provide a portable EFTPOS machine.
Please Note: Canterbury’s Saturday morning J/TAS Trimester Two sport will be running at the same time on the various ovals, up at the Canterbury Taipans Tennis Centre, in the nearby Sports Hall, plus over at the CEC on High Road.
NB: The Technology Precinct toilets at the rear of the Trade Training Centre will be open for use – please follow the signs.
A Message From Mrs Yvette Peterson:
“Thanks to COVID, there remains some new Canterbury uniform item supply delays.
That means there are still new students at the school, as well as those who moved up from Junior into Secondary, that may not have all their required uniform items.
As a parent at the school, I wanted to make a call out to the Canterbury Community for anyone that may have old uniforms gathering dust in their cupboards – from past student alumni or from kids who’ve outgrown them – that could help make another student feel more comfortable on campus.
January’s and February’s meets were a big hit with parents, so we’re hosting another one this Saturday morning to help even more families.
But we REALLY need more Secondary School uniforms donated or put on sale at the meet.
And please spread the word about this event – THANK YOU!"

Creative Gadgetry Back For Term 2 With Virtual Reality & Art - An Immersive Exploration
Creative Gadgetry Back For Term 2 With Virtual Reality & Art - An Immersive Exploration
Virtual Reality has been one of the fastest growing digital mediums within technology, with its uses spanning a multitude of applications.
Companies have developed specialised programs that can help architects design complete buildings, aid interior designers to complete their 'look and feel' with the final touches - such as decorating and furniture, and lastly, assist real-estate companies to allow future buyers to have 'walk-throughs' around completed house designs.
Others are developing programs to help future Olympians or professional athletes and teams to perfect their sporting skills and eliminate any weaknesses.
The below image shows an Archery athlete using Virtual Reality to practice his technique.
Our future doctors, nurses and surgeons are all using Virtual Reality to immerse themselves in their field and to perfect their skills to eliminate errors while treating actual patients in the real world.
However, one of the few areas that people haven’t fully explored using Virtual Reality that has amazing potential - are The Arts.
https://youtu.be/4a9VBtjJCnY
Canterbury College is excited to now include a fully immersive experience for students to explore The Arts, by joining this Term 2’s Creative Gadgetry Class, where we will be experimenting with how to create innovation and creativity within The Arts and Virtual Reality.
Students will have the opportunity to use the many different features of VR via the Oculus Rift with Tilt Brush.
You will learn to create small projects to begin with, and then choose a final project to create and enter into the annual Queensland Excellence in Art Design Awards.
Students from all over Queensland in pre-school, primary and secondary school are invited to enter - even the teachers! 😊
So come and join us for this exciting chance to explore yet another amazing technological gadget, while having fun, getting creative - and maybe even entering the art competition.
If you are interested, please fill out the following form and sign up to Canterbury Creative Gadgetry in the following weblink - MyCC - Canterbury Creative Gadgetry.
