Sunday's Canterbury Music @ Customs House Showcase Concert | Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
On Sunday morning, after a long hiatus, we held our 2023 Canterbury Music @ Customs House Showcase Concert, in the beautiful heritage-listed riverside building.
It was a wonderful morning of music, as our highly talented Cantabile choir, Ritornello strings ensemble, Canterbury String Quartet, Trio Volante and Trio Bellissimo, joined our top student soloists - Dylan You (Clarinet), Isabella Oxenbridge (Piano), George Li (Cello), Luka Roberts (Trumpet) and Haydn Li (Viola).
Together, they all thrilled the 115-strong ticketed audience with their brilliant performances.
Former long time Queensland Symphony Orchestra Concertmaster, and Canterbury's esteemed Violin Teacher, Mr Warwick Adeney, returned to the stage to perform with Trio Bellissimo.
Thank you to Ms Gloria Shin and Mr Tim Li for their fine accompaniment on the piano for the various performances.
It was a beautiful event on a perfect sunny day in the city...

Friday's August Studio Dance Recital | Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
Our Performing Arts Theatre came alive last Friday night 18 August, as Canterbury's Studio Dancers presented an entertaining Dance Recital.
It featured the exceptional talents of dance students from our Early Learning Centre (ELC) right through to Year 12.
Their performances showcased the hard work and dedication of these young dancers, as they took the spotlight to present solo and small group routines, which they have been perfecting during their weekly studio lessons.
Spanning from the youngest performers taking their first steps on stage, to the seasoned expertise of our seniors, a shared thread of big smiles wove through the recital, as each dancer performed with confidence and flair.
Studio Teacher, Miss Taylah Newton, is very proud to witness the growth and progress of our dance students this year – so congratulations Canterbury dancers!

We are excited to bring you a report on the recent Term 3 Interschool Chess Competition.
This event saw our talented chess enthusiasts engage in fierce battles of intellect, strategy and sportsmanship against some of the best young minds across the Gold Coast region.
The competition took place at The Southport School, where the atmosphere was charged with excitement and anticipation.
The venue provided the perfect setting for the students to showcase their chess prowess.
Our top players (CC Blue) had a chance to compete in the Premier Division, a first for our college, which provided our students with a valuable learning experience.
They could test their skills against opponents, adapting their strategies and learning from each match.
Many of our students secured victories in their matches, displaying their dedication to honing their chess skills.
Noteworthy performers included Jordan Tan, who placed 2nd in his division, winning six of his seven games.
Matt Barnes and Jordan Bolger received merit badges for winning 4.5 of their seven games.
The Canterbury D Team placed third in their division, and each member received bronze medals.
I want to express my appreciation and gratitude to the students who attended this tournament.
Their behaviour and attitude were of a high standard, and they represented our college with pride.

About The Charity
Daffodil Day is the Cancer Council's most iconic and much-loved fundraising campaign.
It’s a chance for Australians to come together and, for all that cancer takes; to give!
We all have the ability to create change in the lives of people impacted by cancer by funding cancer research.
In 2022, Daffodil Day raised around $2.5 million for lifesaving cancer research.
This year, we’re asking for your essential support once more.
Tragically, with 1 in 2 people being affected by cancer in their lifetimes, we will all be touched by this heartbreaking disease.
That’s why we’re encouraging you to give hope by donating money to the cause.
Daffodil Day falls on Thursday 31 August in 2023, but you can get involved any time throughout the month of August.
THANK YOU!
