REMINDER: Logan’s RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday THIS Monday 8 August!

REMINDER: Logan’s RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday THIS Monday 8 August!

Canterbury College will be CLOSED THIS Monday 8 August for the annual Logan RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday.

Our ELC & Camp Australia Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Services will NOT be operating also.

NB: Wednesday 10 August – Brisbane’s RNA (Ekka) Show Holiday is NOT a Logan Area Public Holiday, so our school will operate as per normal on this Wednesday.

Enjoy your long weekend everybody!

NB: These holidays are based on the school's physical address in the Logan OR Brisbane City Council Local Government Areas, not where the parents are coming from, which causes confusion sometimes.


Morning Prayer Service Held @ Chapel 8:00am - 8:20am Every Tuesday

Morning Prayer Service Held @ Chapel 8:00am - 8:20am Every Tuesday

The Canterbury College Chapel will be open for morning prayers every Tuesday between 8:00am – 8:20am to give praise to Jesus Christ and pray for the College.

This weekly Morning Prayer Service will be held in the Chapel and will begin from Tuesday 9 August.

Attendance is voluntary.

The idea of morning and evening prayers is traced back to the Old Testament - particularly in Exodus Chapter 29 Verses 38-39 and includes a reading from the Psalms.

The practice engenders a work-prayer balance, and is therefore a good way to begin the week, and to join one’s voice with other members of the community.

The theme for the service this term will be: Thanksgiving for God’s faithfulness.

Everyone is MOST welcome!

College Chaplain

Years 11-12 Japanese Language Students CBD Excursion Report

Years 11-12 Japanese Language Students CBD Excursion Report

On Tuesday 26 July, our Years 11 and 12 Japanese Language students embarked on an exciting journey to ‘Japan’.

In the morning, students boarded ‘Canterbury Airlines' with flight director Mrs Wu, to travel to their first destination – the Consulate-General of Japan in Brisbane City.

The Consulate staff delivered a very informative presentation on the topics of ‘Travel In Japan’ and ‘Careers Using Japanese’.

These topics are directly related to the units the Year 11s and 12s are currently studying.

After our Consulate visit, students went to DAISO - a Japanese store, and GENKI MART - a Japanese supermarket, to purchase some omiyage (souvenirs).

It is part of the Japanese culture to always buy omiyage for your friends and family when travelling.

Students bought some traditional Japanese foods - such as natto (fermented beans), to try.

The GENKI MART staff even spoke Japanese to our students to give them an authentic shopping experience.

For lunch, students went to a traditional Japanese restaurant where they had to order and pay for their food in Japanese.

Students tasted some traditional Japanese foods such as obentosashimi (raw fish), donburi (rice-bowl dish), udon (Japanese noodles) and nigiri sushi etc.

The restaurant featured authentic Japanese décor, with beautiful lanterns on the ceiling and Japanese murals on the walls.

The last stop on our ‘Japan Trip’ was karaoke, an integral part of Japanese pop culture.

Students stepped out of their ‘comfort zone’ to sing in front of their peers and experienced the Japanese way of socialising with friends through karaoke.

Although COVID has prevented us from actually going on our biennial Japan Trip, through this Brisbane City excursion, students got to immerse themselves in Japanese culture and use the language they’ve been learning in class in the real world.

I hope this trip is one they will remember for many years to come…

Year 7 Food & Hospitality Class Update

Year 7 Food & Hospitality Class Update

So far this term, our Year 7 Food & Hospitality class has been learning about Work Health & Safety (WHS) and Food Safety when working in a kitchen environment. 🍴👩‍🍳👨‍🍳
As part of this learning, it is essential that students put their new knowledge to use, developing their skills to work safely and hygienically.
This week saw students getting creative while preparing and presenting a colourful fruit platter.
Here, their knife skills were tested as they cut, sliced, peeled, and scooped the fruit into different shapes, to create a visually appealing plate of food.
We are happy to report there were no fingers harmed in the making of this mini photo gallery!
