Semester 1, 2023 Spark Topic | The Magic Of Movement
Moving our bodies!
We do it by ourselves and alongside others.
We do it every day for enjoyment and necessity.
But do we ever think about the countless opportunities we have to move each day, and the physical, mental and emotional effects these different movement types can have?
With this topic, students explore the different ways our bodies move throughout our daily lives, and the direct results these movements have physiologically.
Studying the way we move, and how it can transform us physically and mentally, will help students develop a better understanding of the importance of moving our bodies.

2023 End-Of-Year Chapel Service + 2024 Incoming Sports & Performing Arts Captains Announced + 2023 Canterbury Cup Winning House Declared!
The 2023 End-Of-Year Chapel Service provided a wonderful opportunity for our Junior and Secondary students to reflect on another very busy year.
Our College Chaplain Father Dan Talbot delivered an inspiring sermon - offering prayers for those who generously donated gifts to the St Mark’s Anglican Social Services and the 4 Voices organisation.
To emphasise the true meaning of Christmas as more than just a holiday or December party season, BUT as a celebration of Jesus Christ’s birthday, Father Dan surprised everyone with a giant birthday cake.
So together, the entire school audience joined in singing a joyful Happy Birthday song!
Following the service, we proudly announced the incoming 2024 Sports and Performing Arts Captains listed below in full.
Congratulations to you all and good luck with your teams and ensembles next year!
Finally, the overall Canterbury Cup year-long House competition results were revealed, and we are thrilled to announce that Ramsey House emerged victorious once again!
Congratulations to the Ramsey House Raptors for an impressive four-year winning streak!
This year has certainly passed swiftly, and we extend our gratitude to everyone for their hard work and dedication across four big Terms of Canterbury College school life.
We wish you all a well-deserved, enjoyable and safe holiday season with your family and friends.
And we look forward to seeing you all again in the coming year from Tuesday 23 January 2024!

Semester 1, 2023 Spark Topic | Critical & Creative Thinking
Thinking that is productive, purposeful and intentional is at the centre of effective learning.
By practising critical and creative thinking, students can solve problems and devise innovative ideas to do so.
Participants follow the design process as they identify a problem, then investigate and research the issues.
They develop their ideas, then plan and create solutions that will be evaluated and adapted based on testing.
Their critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills are applied to real-world issues that concern them, which may include freshwater access, environmental pollution or sustainable energy.

Semester 1, 2023 Spark Topic | CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
Do you love detective stories, watching Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) shows, or dream of being a forensic scientist?
Then this subject is for you!
Using crime scene activities and investigations, students can learn skills in data collection, observation, analysis and problem-solving.
They work collaboratively to find suspects and culprits via fingerprinting, fibre analysis, chromatography and other investigative strategies.
Students lead themselves through research and apply their knowledge of investigation techniques using critical thinking, analysis and communication through clear documentation.
The big question is: Who did it?
