Year 9 Drama Students Perform Futuristic Pieces For Assessment
Year 9 Drama Students Perform Futuristic Pieces For Assessment
Today, our Year 9 Drama students showcased their Contemporary Theatre performances, featuring scenes from David Burton's play 'Wisdom'.
The play delves into a futuristic society where aging halts at 16 due to a groundbreaking injection, leaving individuals physically frozen in their teens, while they continue to mature mentally and emotionally.
It challenges conventional notions of wisdom and expertise, questioning whether age necessarily correlates with wisdom.

eSports Success For Canterbury @ FUSE Cup Tournament
eSports Success For Canterbury @ FUSE Cup Tournament
On Monday and Tuesday this week, our Canterbury Rocket League eSports teams showcased their prowess in the Fuse Cup Tournament held at the CEC.
The event witnessed intense competition and commendable sportsmanship.
In the Years 5-8 division, Canterbury teams displayed exceptional skill, dominating the round stages to qualify for three out of four quarter-finals.
In some tight knock-out matches, the duo of Tyler Pluples and Hudson Holland demonstrated remarkable talent, advancing to the final where they narrowly lost to Forest Lake State High School.
Remarkably, all members of our team in this division are in Years 6 and 7, promising even stronger competition in the coming years.
Highlighting the spirit of fair play and positive attitude, Humdhann Ikhlas was recognised as the MVP for the first day, a testament to his exemplary conduct throughout the competition.
Day 2 saw Canterbury boasting two formidable teams in the Years 9-10 division.
Easily navigating through the round stages, both teams secured their spots in the semi-finals, facing off against Forest Lake teams.
After triumphant victories in the semis, Canterbury found themselves in a unique position - a Canterbury vs Canterbury final.
The final showdown was nothing short of exhilarating.
The duo comprising Bentley Horne and Lucas Noy emerged victorious, clinching the title after winning the first two games in the best-of-three final series.
The success of Canterbury College in the Fuse Cup Rocket League Tournament not only underscores their skill in competitive gaming, but also reflects their commitment to sportsmanship and teamwork.
All Canterbury students represented the college admirably, and their achievements fill us with pride.
As we celebrate their achievements, we eagerly anticipate their continued success in future competitions, knowing they will continue to uphold the values of excellence and sportsmanship that define Canterbury College.

2024 Young Business Leaders Program | Term 2 Co-Curricular Entrepreneurship Program - Expressions Of Interest OPEN NOW!
Last Thursday morning, Canterbury’s future ‘business movers and shakers’ attended Term One’s Beenleigh-Yatala Junior Chamber of Commerce Student Breakfast, at Beenleigh’s Trinity College.
Our students joined other schools for the pleasure of hearing BOP Industries’ CEO and Founder Scott Millar share his personal business story.
Scott first seriously harnessed his entrepreneurial mindset as a Year 9 student while completing a school business project.
At the breakfast, he shared both the challenges and successes of his keyring business, and how he attended local market stalls to sell his products, before levelling up and creating an online store.
Our students were inspired to learn about his remarkable journey from a 14-year-old market stall holder, to Scott's adventures running a tech startup company in Year 11, and then founding his own educational consultancy business on his 18th birthday!
Next term, Canterbury students are joining fellow Logan area schools to participate in the 2024 Young Business Leaders Program facilitated by BOP Industries, with support from the Beenleigh-Yatala Junior Chamber of Commerce and Quota Beenleigh organisations.

Canterbury’s 37th Foundation Day Celebration | Chapel Service, Principal’s Address, Special Guest Speaker & Alumnus of the Year Award
https://youtu.be/osWtsgLw4k4
Today, Canterbury celebrated its 37th Anniversary by reflecting on how far we’ve come, and looking forward to all the 'milestones and magic’ still to come over the next 37 years…
Our official 'whole College’ morning Chapel Service, delivered by College Chaplain Fr Dan Talbot, gave thanks and inspiration to our fast-growing school community on a beautiful autumn day – wishing us all a Happy Birthday and joyful reflections.
This was followed by a special presentation from Principal Mr Dan Walker – who saluted our amazing founding staff’s incredible vision, efforts and enthusiasm back in 1985-87 to get this actual school up and running.
Then our very popular special guest speaker Mr Gordon Royall – Canterbury’s Dean of School (Secondary), Director of Activities and Secondary Teacher (1986 – 2000) – addressed staff and students about his 14 years here, the College motto, and his favourite memories from decades ago.
As per our annual Foundation Day tradition, we finished the ceremony by proudly announcing the recipient of the prestigious 'Alumnus of the Year' Award for 2024.
So hearty congratulations to Mrs Jane Dionysius (nee Hampson) – our 2003 School Captain and current Brisbane Airport Corporation Executive General Manager of Human Resources.
A profile story on Jane’s esteemed career and community charity work will follow shortly.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to all who joined with us on campus – both past and present staff and students – to celebrate Canterbury's 37th birthday together.
And special acknowledgement to those student leaders who spoke on stage and those who performed beautifully in the choir.

2024 Canterbury Interhouse Maths Teams Challenge & Pi Day Contest | Recap & Photos
Guess what? It's Pi Day!
And no - not the food kind...
Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and is an irrational number with infinite decimal places - from 3.14159........
Of course - we all knew that!
So to celebrate, we held our annual Canterbury Interhouse Maths Teams Challenge during today's lunch break and Assembly. ✖️➕➖➗
This event provided a platform for students selected from each House to participate in mathematical competitions across various age groups and relay events.
Participants showcased their academic ability, logic skills and memory by trying to recite as many pi decimal places as possible, and tackling various 'degree of difficulty' mathematical problems.
Stay tuned, as we will announce the challenge's results and winners shortly!
