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.

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!

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!
Regards
Mr Andrew Porter

Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix: H2GP Program - Term 4 Student Registrations OPEN NOW! (Limited Numbers Only)
Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix: H2GP Program - Term 4 Student Registrations OPEN NOW! (Limited Numbers Only)
The H2GP Program empowers students to be the problem-solvers of tomorrow, connect with the Earth's automotive industry, and gear it up with renewable energy technology.
The growing demand for energy in this era of human-caused climate change, may ultimately be the greatest challenge of the 21st Century.
We need the creativity, ingenuity and critical-thinking skills of the generation coming of age today - now more than ever!
The Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix is a comprehensive science and engineering program, that gives students from all over the world, the opportunity to apply their talents - as they learn about environmental sustainability, renewable energy and alternative fuels.
This is achieved through a variety of fun science experiments and genuinely engaging curricular materials.
Design. Build. Race!
Participating students must apply a wide range of foundational knowledge, acquired in the first part of the program, throughout the competition.
Their task is to design, engineer and build their own fuel cell powered Remote Control Car and test it during a 4-hour race.
From the earliest conceptual stages, to maintaining and repairing their car during the marathon race, students are in control of every step of the process.
This enables a truly immersive experience that captures the rigour and excitement of real-world science and engineering!
If you are interested in participating in Term 4 of 2022, please email Mr Greg Wacker with your expression of interest -
Please Note: Numbers are limited.
