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!

Today's Years 7 & 8 Spanish Flamenco Incursion | Photos & Event Wrap
This morning, our Years 7 and 8 Spanish Class students stepped into the world of flamenco with an interactive incursion.
Mr Diego Perez, a member of the International Dance Council - CID (UNESCO), from Flamenco House Brisbane, presented a very knowledgeable lesson on flamenco's history.
Then he taught our students some moves to awaken the dancer or 'bailaor/bailaora' inside them.
This workshop covered the four schools of Spanish Dance: Folklore, Bolera, Classical and Flamenco, and also introduced the various Flamenco props or 'Complementos' used.
¡Olé!

Andrew and I have both enjoyed getting the chance to chat with quite a few parents, and appreciate all the honest feedback we’ve received about sorting better booking systems, payment processes, coaching programs etc.
I would love to keep these conversations going – and meeting more parents, students and members, so I’m organising a FREE Informal BBQ Information Evening.
As we build our new vision for Canterbury Taipans Tennis, we want parents and participants to be part of this process from the ground up, as we look to grow with a happy membership base.
As a parent with three children myself – all heavily involved in sports, I know that a sense of belonging to your local community is a vital part of any club, and we want to foster that spirit.
So come and say hi and have a chat about the club and all things Tennis!
Even though I’m only a few weeks into my role here at the Canterbury Taipans, I have to say I’m already proud to be part of this Tennis community.

REMINDER: Logan's RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday THIS Monday 14 August!
REMINDER: Logan's RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday THIS Monday 14 August!
Canterbury College will be CLOSED THIS Monday 14 August for the annual Logan RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday.
Our Early Learning Centre AND Canterbury Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Service AND Canterbury Aquatic, Tennis & Athletics Sports Centre will also NOT be operating.
The following Wednesday 16 August is Brisbane’s RNA (Ekka) Show Public Holiday, and is NOT a Logan Area Public Holiday, so our school will operate as per normal on this Wednesday.
Enjoy your upcoming long weekend everybody!
NB: These holidays are based on the school's physical address in the Logan City Council OR Brisbane City Council Local Government Areas, NOT the home suburbs where our parents are coming from, which causes confusion sometimes.
