Community Fundraising
As part of this event, we ask that our Canterbury families get into the festive spirit of giving…
We will be directly supporting two charities that we have worked closely with throughout the years.
Orange Sky Australia provides a positive and supportive environment for people who are too often ignored or feel disconnected from their community.
They provide regular laundry and shower services for homeless people.
Our College community has strongly supported this organisation throughout 2023, and the funds raised at this event – via the gold coin entry donations, and food and drink sales, will further support this worthy cause.
Rosies: Friends On The Street is an organisation which aims to offer friendship and unconditional acceptance to those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or are experiencing social isolation.
So each College House will be tasked with bringing different items to donate to the Rosies Appeal.
These will be placed under the relevant Christmas Tree inside the Canterbury Events Centre.
The items required from each House are:
|
House |
Items |
|
Becket |
Headlights, torches, caps, hats etc. |

Years 9 & 10 Business, Economics & Accounting Start-Up Showcase | Event Summary & Photo Gallery
Years 9 & 10 Business, Economics & Accounting Start-Up Showcase | Event Summary & Photo Gallery
This morning, proud student entrepreneurs from our Years 9 and 10 Business, Economics & Accounting Start-Up classes, showcased their innovative business concepts through immersive stalls - presenting their diverse ideas, products, and services on our Tech Deck.
The start-up businesses included Ashan Industries, Hookie Cookies, Fume Fragrances, Tribal Tech, Pillow Paradise, Shine Case, Spitfire Dog Co., and other clothing, hair accessories and specialised gift hamper service companies.
We also gained professional insights from two accomplished and forward-thinking entrepreneurs - Adam Thompson and Belinda Vesey-Brown, who shared their expertise and strategies to assist others in their entrepreneurial endeavours.
--------------------
Adam Thompson: Managing Director of Stenhouse Lifting Equipment – the leading supplier, manufacturer and inspector for a wide range of auxiliary, lifting and height safety equipment.
For over 20 years, Adam has worked alongside Australia’s biggest and most trusted brands in the mining, construction, engineering and urban utility sectors, keeping their people safe, their assets compliant, and their sites operational.
Having a passion for business and a strong desire to give back, he’s also the Growth Director on the Regional Board for the Entrepreneurs’ Organisation (EO), where he helps set the direction for our regional areas.
EO is a global not-for-profit organisation helping entrepreneurs achieve their full potential through life-enhancing connections, shared experiences and collaborative learning.
Belinda Vesey-Brown: Belinda has always been fascinated by the power of digital communication and its potential to connect people in new and exciting ways.
However, she noticed that most video content is not accessible to those with hearing loss, low vision, or with learning or language challenges.
That's why Belinda started TaggedPDF, a business that made PDFs accessible for people with low vision.
But as the fastest-growing format of digital communication, video posed a greater challenge.
That's why she created a new service offering called ‘MeetAandi’, a cutting-edge online tool that uses AI and machine learning to make it easy to add captions, transcripts and audio descriptions to any video.
In consultation with many Australian universities, they now have a feature-packed software tool that can assist with learning, and the goal now is to remediate 1 million minutes of video with captions and audio descriptions.
--------------------
Adam and Belinda volunteered their time to provide feedback to our students, and shared their personal challenges and successes – with our big thanks!
And thank you to everyone who visited and contributed to the success of this fantastic entrepreneurial event.
We look forward to sharing future developments from our innovative students' start-up businesses.

2023 Canterbury Junior School Speech Day | Event Summary & Photo Gallery
Yesterday we celebrated our 2023 Junior School Speech Day at Canterbury College - our major annual awards ceremony, where we acknowledge the remarkable accomplishments of our students in Years 3 to 6.
During this important event, we had the pleasure of presenting awards for Academic Excellence and Outstanding Approach To Learning; distributing red, silver and gold badges for co-curricular levels of participation, and bestowing Junior School's Major Awards.
These major awards included The Caring For Country Awards, Junior School Arts Person Of The Year, Junior Sportsperson Of The Year, Junior Sportsmanship Award, The Beenleigh Rotary All-Rounder, Fortior Quo Paratior Award, Spirit Of Canterbury Awards, and the ultimate Junior School honour - the 2023 Dux Of The Junior School.
The recipient of this prestigious final award is a student who has shown unwavering dedication to learning, achieving outstanding academic results, and surpassing expectations in all subjects studied in Year 6.
Not only a stellar academic performer, this particular student is also a respectful school citizen, who has represented the school superbly on the sporting field, in an arts ensemble, and as a vital member of the Lumina academic program.
This student was also honoured with First in English, Academic Excellence, and The Beenleigh Rotary All-Rounder awards.
So it brought us great pleasure to announce the 2023 Dux Of The Junior School was none other than our Junior School Captain Coda Lahrs!
Congratulations to all our award winners, and well done to all our Junior School students for (almost) completing another busy year.

Canterbury’s Years 5-6 Spark Program | Structural Engineering: Building Bridges
https://youtu.be/jzZ-XONUN0w
Semester 1, 2024 Spark Topic | Structural Engineering: Building Bridges
Around the world, bridges are used to connect areas and people.
Some may span long distances over water, others may be responsible for carrying heavy loads over valleys, while other bridges may even be required to move or transform – allowing other transport modes to come through.
In this subject, students examine what goes into researching, planning, designing, testing and building a successful bridge.
---------------------
What is SPARK?
SPARK is an elective-based ‘hands-on’ curriculum for Years 5 and 6 students that is unique to Canterbury.
Each semester our students choose a special subject to study.
Then students from both year levels are combined into the same classroom and taught by relevant staff.
SPARK is about building curiosity, encouraging students to try something new, and providing an exceptional opportunity for them to embark on their own learning journey, as part of their ‘World Ready’ Canterbury education.
When does SPARK occur?
SPARK happens once per week, with students encouraged to continue their learning beyond the classroom.
How does SPARK link to the curriculum?
SPARK focuses on the Australian Curriculum’s general capabilities, looking at critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical understanding and intercultural understanding.
How can I see my child’s learning?
The Junior School hosts a learning exhibition at the end of each semester, where all students will have something to exhibit based on their SPARK sessions.

2023 Canterbury Year 6 Celebration Evening | Photo Gallery & Reflection
During the 2023 Canterbury Year 6 Celebration Ceremony last night, we took a moment to reflect on our Year 6 students' journey through the Junior School, before their exciting transition into Secondary School.
As everyone gathered, we shared in the joy of watching nostalgic videos, with a special highlight on those students captured during their time here in Prep.
These videos - featuring interviews about their favourite things, brought smiles and fond memories.
The atmosphere was filled with the exchange of gifts and fragrant flowers.
An array of delectable lamb koftas, nourishing salads, and refreshing beverages added to the festive post-ceremonial ambience.
For a visual journey through the evening, the complete photo gallery is now accessible on our Facebook Page HERE.
