2023 Canterbury Debating Captain's Message: Congratulations To Our Secondary Debating Teams
2023 Canterbury Debating Captain's Message: Congratulations To Our Secondary Debating Teams
Our Queensland Debating Union (QDU) Year 8, Year 10 and Year 12 Debating Teams have enjoyed an incredible year in 2023, so I would like to congratulate them all for their outstanding success this season!
I am absolutely thrilled and proud of the remarkable achievements of our talented debaters, who have showcased their exceptional skills, dedication and passion for debating throughout the season.
Representing Canterbury, these debaters have set an exceptional standard for debating excellence, demonstrating remarkable growth and resilience.
It is evident that their hard work has truly paid off, as all these teams qualified for the QDU Finals.
Hopefully our Year 8s and Year 10s advance one step further next year and reach the Grand Final.
As a school, we take immense pride in these achievements.
To my Year 12 team, who have completed their final debate this year, I am confident that as you graduate and embark on new adventures, you will carry with you the skills and values cultivated through debating, making a positive impact wherever you go.
It has been an honour working with you all across the last six years, and I thank each and every one of you for creating a successful and memorable debating experience.
I would also like to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our Debating coaches who invested their time and effort mentoring these teams.
Their support and encouragement have played a vital role in this success.
Once again, congratulations to all the members of our Year 8, Year 10 and Year 12 Teams for their exceptional performances this season.
I have enjoyed getting to know you all and your success is well-deserved.
I wish you all the best for the amazing achievements that will be accomplished in the Debating season next year.
Regardless of the outcome in the finals, your accomplishments have made us proud.
Best of luck to our Year 11 team in their forthcoming finals debate this week!
Kind regards,
Marwa Kamali
2023 Debating Captain
2024 & 2025 New Canterbury Student Enrolments Update | PLEASE ACT NOW
2024 & 2025 New Canterbury Student Enrolments Update | PLEASE ACT NOW
Existing Canterbury families with children not currently enrolled here, plus interested friends of current Canterbury parents, as well as prospective families around the Logan area, have been enquiring about the present status of our school’s vacancies for next year and 2025.
For starters, our much-valued existing families will have priority access to vacancies that arise in other year levels, although this cannot be guaranteed, the closer we get to declaring certain year cohorts totally full.
Now our major official student intake years are Prep, Year 5 and Year 7.
Places are also made available for new enrolment ‘top-ups’ in Year 10.
Right now in late July, there are very few places available in Prep right through to Year 7 for 2024.
In fact, many of these year levels have growing waitlists – especially Year 5.
Having said that, we still advise interested parents and carers to lodge their online enquiry or online application ASAP to join these waitlists.
That’s because we refresh these waitlists weekly, and certain families drop out because they relocate, choose another option, their financial situation changes, or they don’t match our school’s values.
Offers will still be made throughout the remainder of this year as places in classes for 2024 become available.
Offers for Secondary School places in Years 8 to 12 for 2024 are being made now too, where vacancies exist – such as in Year 10 for impressive candidates.
At the other end of the spectrum, there are very few places left in full-time and part-time Canterbury Kindy and Pre-Kindy for 2024.
Again, we urgently advise families to lodge their online enquiries or applications as soon as possible, if you are looking for places in 2024 or 2025, to avoid disappointment.
As for Prep, Year 5 and Year 7 for the year after next in 2025, we once again strongly urge families to lodge their online enquiries or online applications ASAP to get ahead of the queue.
Then interviews will be scheduled by our Admissions Team once applications are lodged.
Finally, can I just say, Canterbury College is always looking for outstanding young men and women to join our school – especially in Years 7-12, for the benefits they can bring to our whole Canterbury Family.
This same warm invitation exists for those prospective families who embrace the benefits of our ‘all-rounder’ World Ready student ethos.
Kind regards
Mr Dan Walker
College Principal

W (Slay) App Caution | An Important eSafety Message For Parents & Carers
W (Slay) App Caution | An Important eSafety Message For Parents & Carers
Dear Parents and Carers,
I am writing to inform you about an app called 'W' in Australia and 'Slay' overseas, that we have recently been made aware of by Canterbury parents and students.
Below is a link to the eSafety Information Sheet that I encourage you all to read.
W App (Slay) | eSafety Commissioner
My concern is the personal information students are asked to provide to sign-up to the app.
Their name, mobile phone number and school is requested of them.
This data is then owned by the app provider.
My other concern is around our students' safety, as anyone can falsify this information and make connections with our young people.
Students have been receiving invites to the app from Canterbury College Corporate Services.
Canterbury College DOES NOT have any association with this app!
Please have a conversation at home about your son/s or daughter/s accessing this app on their mobile devices.
My recommendation is for students not to sign up.
Please feel free to reach out to the College for support, or if you have or need more information.
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Rebecca Adamson
Head of Secondary School
