2024 Hydrogen GP: Grand Prix | Student Expressions Of Interest: REGISTER NOW!
Hello everybody!
We are trying to determine interest in taking part in the Hydrogen GP challenge again next year.
The Horizon Hydrogen Grand Prix (H2GP) is a competition that allows you to learn about the uses of Hydrogen as a fuel for the future, while working as part of a team.
Your main task? To build and modify a remote controlled car to take part in an endurance race in early Term 2 next year.
This will be a one-afternoon-a-week in-term commitment, and possibly more, as the big endurance race gets closer.
If you're interested in taking part, please send me an email at -
This video is from the finals this year, and shows what to expect from the endurance race itself...

If you have any questions, please send me an email.
Thank you,

Canterbury Wins 2023 Logan Business Distinction Award: Education, Employment & Training Category
Canterbury Wins 2023 Logan Business Distinction Award: Education, Employment & Training Category
Last Friday night, Canterbury College was honoured to win the 2023 Logan Business Distinction Award in the Education, Employment & Training Category.
We were up against fellow (and very worthy) local Logan category finalists…
The Bee All Natural ‘artisan’ family beekeeping, premium raw honey and bee products business with their strong community educational model.
The Workways positive social and economic employment, education, training, small business development, social enterprises and community programs provider.
And the YMCA Vocational School which uses honesty, responsibility, respect and care to create a nurturing learning space, preparing students for a future of engagement, confidence and health.
Our award was sponsored by Mr Cameron Dick MP – State Member for Woodridge, amongst 17 other Logan Industry Awards presented during the gala evening, hosted at the Logan Entertainment Centre by the Logan Chamber of Commerce.
It was a great night with a full house of deserving Logan small, medium and large businesses, industry leaders and local, state and federal politicians.
The only unfortunate coincidence was that the 2023 Australian Education Awards were actually held on the same night down in Sydney, where College Principal Mr Dan Walker was required to attend, so Canterbury's Director of Communications Mr Stephen Buckley accepted the award on his behalf...
Official Canterbury College Thank You:
On behalf of the Canterbury College Anglican School in Waterford, we would like to thank those people who nominated us, and the judges who chose us to win this award.
We also congratulate the other very worthy organisations in our Education Category for being nominated.
And a special ‘shout-out’ to our hard-working Logan Deputy Mayor Laurie Koranski for always supporting our school so strongly – you are brilliant.
So we are very grateful for this award tonight, and passionate about the responsibility we have to make 1,560 Prep to Year 12 kids ‘World Ready’, on behalf of their parents and carers and the wider community.
Our school has changed enormously since 2019 under Principal Dan Walker, and we hope we get the chance to welcome your family to our Canterbury Community too.
Thank you.
Deputy Mayor Laurie Koranski – Logan City Councillor For Division 4:
It was my pleasure to attend (Friday) night’s awards ceremony and to speak on behalf of the city.
It was another fabulous line up of wonderful businesses from many sectors across our city.
We recognised them in style with new categories added again this year.
The calibre of businesses in our city is phenomenal, and last night was a night for them to shine!
Congratulations to all the nominees and award winners for all their success over the past year, and I can’t wait to see what new and exciting things you achieve in the coming year!
Mr Jon Raven – Logan City Councillor For Division 5:
On Friday night the Logan Chamber of Commerce hosted the Business Distinction Awards and were silly enough to ask me to be their MC!
It was an incredible night with both the Munster Services Group and Bee All Natural winning the Business of the Year and Small Business of the Year awards.
Thank you to all the business owners and their staff who work so hard to make the economy in Logan hum.
Not all heroes wear capes!
Logan Chamber Of Commerce:
Well done to all those hard-working Logan business owners recognised for their contribution to Logan City!
Congratulations to all the nominees, finalists, and winners at the 'Business Distinction Awards!
Today's Years 7 & 8 Spanish Flamenco Incursion | Photos & Event Wrap
Today's Years 7 & 8 Spanish Flamenco Incursion | Photos & Event Wrap
This morning, our Years 7 and 8 Spanish Class students stepped into the world of flamenco with an interactive incursion.
Mr Diego Perez, a member of the International Dance Council - CID (UNESCO), from Flamenco House Brisbane, presented a very knowledgeable lesson on flamenco's history.
Then he taught our students some moves to awaken the dancer or 'bailaor/bailaora' inside them.
This workshop covered the four schools of Spanish Dance: Folklore, Bolera, Classical and Flamenco, and also introduced the various Flamenco props or 'Complementos' used.
¡Olé!

I would love to keep these conversations going – and meeting more parents, students and members, so I’m organising a FREE Informal BBQ Information Evening.
As we build our new vision for Canterbury Taipans Tennis, we want parents and participants to be part of this process from the ground up, as we look to grow with a happy membership base.
As a parent with three children myself – all heavily involved in sports, I know that a sense of belonging to your local community is a vital part of any club, and we want to foster that spirit.
So come and say hi and have a chat about the club and all things Tennis!
Even though I’m only a few weeks into my role here at the Canterbury Taipans, I have to say I’m already proud to be part of this Tennis community.

REMINDER: Logan's RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday THIS Monday 14 August!
REMINDER: Logan's RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday THIS Monday 14 August!
Canterbury College will be CLOSED THIS Monday 14 August for the annual Logan RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday.
Our Early Learning Centre AND Canterbury Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Service AND Canterbury Aquatic, Tennis & Athletics Sports Centre will also NOT be operating.
The following Wednesday 16 August is Brisbane’s RNA (Ekka) Show Public Holiday, and is NOT a Logan Area Public Holiday, so our school will operate as per normal on this Wednesday.
Enjoy your upcoming long weekend everybody!
NB: These holidays are based on the school's physical address in the Logan City Council OR Brisbane City Council Local Government Areas, NOT the home suburbs where our parents are coming from, which causes confusion sometimes.
