Dear Canterbury Community,
Our 2023 Student Leadership Group would like to invite all students in Years 5-11 and their families, to our Canterbury Christmas Appeal Fundraiser.
Come and celebrate the end of the school year, and get into the Christmas spirit with us, as we enjoy some Christmas Carols Karaoke, a Christmas Movie, and donating resources to the less fortunate members of our wider Logan community.
This year, we are supporting two separate local charities, who we’ve worked with already throughout 2022.
Both Rosies: Friends On The Street and Orange Sky Australia support marginalised people in our community.
Rosies: Friends On The Street is a charity organisation which aims to offer friendship and unconditional acceptance to those who are homeless, at risk of homelessness, or are experiencing social isolation.
Canterbury is hosting this fun family night to encourage our school community to build their awareness around the issue of homelessness.
And more importantly, to gather donated items (described in the table below), which Rosies can distribute directly to those in need as care packs.
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 (CEC).
The items required from each House are:
| House | Item |
| Becket | Christmas gifts: playing cards, puzzles, board games, small card games e.g. Uno etc. |
| Cranmer | Small backpacks, drink bottles, toothbrush containers etc. |
| Goldsworthy | Personal hygiene items: body wash, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, sanitiser etc. |
| Kime | Personal hygiene items: body wash, deodorant, toothbrush and toothpaste, sanitiser etc. |
| Temple | Christmas socks, boxers, beanies, undergarments etc. |
| Ramsey | Non-perishable Christmas treats: Christmas cakes, sweets, puddings, biscuits, snacks etc. (NB: Avoid chocolate as it melts). |
Orange Sky Australia provides a positive and supportive environment for people who are too often ignored or feel disconnected from the community.
They provide regular laundry and shower services for homeless people.
The Canterbury Community has supported this organisation throughout the year, and funds raised at this event - via the gold coin entry donations, and food and drink sales, will further support this worthy cause.
This is sure to be a wonderful community event, where students of all ages and their families, can get together in the Christmas spirit of giving and community.
Parents & Carers – If you have any questions about this event, please get in touch with your child’s Head of House.
Students – Please approach any of our College Student Leaders who can support you with more information.
Kind regards
Mr Tory Mills

Staff will be outside to collect students and take them into the CEC to prepare for their performances.
Please Note: Staff will be unable to collect students from the ELC or OSHC, to bring them to the CEC, as they must be signed out by a parent/guardian.
We recommend that you give your child a snack or early dinner, and have them use the toilet before they arrive at 5:10pm, as there will be no food permitted in the CEC during the event itself.
Students will remain with their class teachers until the conclusion of the evening.
There will be no option to collect students early, as this will interrupt the proceedings, and we need to ensure that all students are properly supervised for the entirety of the event.
Parents and carers will need to wait to collect their children from their class teacher, ensuring their name has been marked off the roll at the conclusion of the ceremony.
We look forward to seeing all our ELC- Year 2 families join us in celebrating this very special event!
Yours faithfully,
Mrs Michelle Leftwich
Head of Junior School

Year 6 Festival
The Year 6 Festival is an opportunity for students to participate in new and unusual experiences, giving them a chance to celebrate what they have achieved during the first part of their schooling life.
This event will be held on-campus, run by Canterbury staff during school hours.
We are seeking donations of small plants for this day.
Ideal plants would be succulents, non-prickly cacti, herbs or ‘potted colour’ flowers.
If you have plants you can donate, please indicate this on that REQUIRED ONLINE FORM.
Plants will not be required until mid-to-late-November.
Itinerary

Activity Information
Hydro-Dipping
Hydro-dipping is a process of spraying paint onto the surface of water, then dipping an object into the water, allowing the paint on the water’s surface to coat the item.
All correct procedures will be followed to ensure the health and safety of students.
The risk of paint affecting the students’ clothing in this activity is low.
However, as a preventative measure, students must bring an old large shirt or smock to use over their school uniform.
Students will not be permitted to participate without this.
Students will also need to bring their own item to dip and we recommend light-coloured items for the best effect.
Some suggestions include: canvas shoes, phone cases, drink bottles, travel mugs, pot plants, pencil cases or canvas frames.
You may already have an item at home.
Water Activities
Students will have the opportunity to swim in Canterbury’s pool during the day.
Please see below for what to bring for this activity.
