2021 Principal's Year 4 World Geography Challenge
2021 Principal's Year 4 World Geography Challenge
Over the past month, our Year 4 students have been learning about continents, countries, capital cities, oceans, natural features and flags in weekly lessons with Mr Walker.
All students took part in an online quiz last week, testing their knowledge from the unit, to earn points for their House.
The Grand Finale took place today, involving participants from each House in three rounds: Spelling, Capital Cities and Flags.
There was a great buzz in the room and a very close contest between the Houses ensued.
Cranmer House triumphed in the end, earning 5 points towards the Canterbury Cup interhouse trophy for 2021.

SPORTS EVENT OF THE YEAR - Canterbury Taipans Inaugural Junior Girls Tennis Championships 2021.
In July 2021, the Canterbury Taipans hosted the first ever ‘ALL GIRL’ National Point Junior Event.
It was ground-breaking, inspiring and brilliantly delivered thanks to the teams in marketing, facilities and tennis.
The event drew some amazing feedback and has sparked the plans for a ‘Girls Only’ circuit adopted by Tennis Queensland, to increase the participation of women in sport and particularly, to rescue the dropout rate in female teenage tennis players.

2021 Junior School Remembrance Day Service
2021 Junior School Remembrance Day Service
Our Canterbury Junior School commemorated Remembrance Day 2021 with a special service this morning.
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in the year 1918, World War One officially ended.
Remembrance Day is a time to remember the honour and courage of those who died or suffered for Australia's cause in all wars and armed conflicts.
Today we invited special guest Warrant Officer Matthew Vernon to be a part of our ceremony.
Warrant Officer Vernon is a Force Element Group Training Coordinator for Combat Support Group, at the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base over at Amberley.
Each Junior School class also made wreaths that were decorated with poppies.
The poppy has a special significance as they were the first flowers to bloom after the devastating human losses on the European battlefields during the First World War.
Poppies are worn on Remembrance Day and are also used along with other flowers to make commemorative wreaths.
Our Junior School Class Captains laid the wreaths beneath the Australian Flag during the reading of In Flanders Fields - a famous wartime poem, to pay respect and offer tribute to those who lost their lives in 'The Great War'.
Our students then recited The Ode and Mr Temple played The Last Post, which was followed by a minute of silence and the playing of The Rouse.
