Canterbury Goes Orange For ‘Bullying No Way’ National Day Of Action Against Bullying & Violence
Canterbury Goes Orange For ‘Bullying No Way’ National Day Of Action Against Bullying & Violence
Canterbury’s traditional red and navy went orange for last Friday’s big 2022 National Day Of Action Against Bullying And Violence with the ‘Bullying No Way’ Day.
Our College is extremely proud of its culture of inclusiveness, respect and kindness, so every class and House fully supported this initiative - all the way from our Early Learning Centre, through the entire Junior School, and right up to Year 12.
We have no place for bullying out Waterford way… but room for plenty of orange support!
Here is the official Bullying No Way Website with support and advice for youth, schools and families.
KINDNESS CULTURE – IT STARTS WITH YOU!

Happy St Patrick’s Day From Our Greenest College House - Temple!
Happy St Patrick’s Day From Our Greenest College House - Temple!
Dear Colleagues,
TODAY - Thursday 17 March - is Saint Patrick’s Day! To be sure... To be sure...
So in the spirit of the day, and with an overwhelming sense of green pride, our Temple House Year 10s hosted some celebrations in the 'College Meadow' at lunchtime.
We served green pancakes and green slushies, there was Irish music thanks to U2, green costume photo props, and I had my beard (and business shirt, and tie, and neck, and whole face it seems) dyed green.
Our Temple students invited friends from the other houses to come and share this experience with us - the ‘greenest’ day in the ecumenical calendar!
Please enjoy our video and photo gallery.
And... Happy Saint Patrick's Day!
Kind regards
Mr Tory Mills
Head Of Temple House

Slow Down On Campus Roads Message
Slow Down On Campus Roads Message
To quote famous Australian race car driver Dick Johnson: “It’s a road – not a racetrack”.
Please slow down when using our on-campus roads, with young children and busy facilities and maintenance staff, criss-crossing these routes all the time.
With the new drop-off and pick-up area for Years 5 and 6 students over near the pool, and our Aquatic, Tennis & Athletics Centre getting busier every week – please be especially careful along our Sports Precinct access road.
Our signed campus speed limit is 10kph so please take your time getting around our College grounds to help keep everyone safe… THANK YOU!

Year 6 Outdoor Education Update! Goats, Archery And Survival Skills...
The Year 6 Outdoor Education Program is up and running, with alliances being formed and lines drawn.
The Red Badgers have thrown down the gauntlet, challenging any other teams to surpass their archery skills, while the Bridesmaids (Pink Team) are crowing about their superior crate stacking skills.
Surprisingly, the Green Ninja Nuggies have been silent in the face of this, preferring the company of the property's miniature goats.
Stay tuned, there is much more to come...
