Background Briefing:
The year is 2043… (almost 2046 Mr B)
You work for a company that builds spaceships, and you’ve received a new contract to build a new space settlement that orbits Earth.
Your company has various departments…
Maybe you are looking after the interior and exterior features of the settlement?
Maybe it’s your job to provide for the wellbeing of the residents living in the settlement?
How will they entertain themselves? How will they stay safe and healthy? How will the settlement look after food, water and power for its residents?
Perhaps you need to describe just how the settlement should be constructed, and determine what materials are needed?
Perhaps you need to design machines for the settlement – cranes, jigs, robots etc?
Or maybe you are looking after the costs of the job?
How much do the workers earn? How much do construction materials cost?
The Australian Space Design Competition (ASDC) puts you in a team where you are designing a space settlement from top to bottom.
There is no activity more sci-fi than the ASDC!
For more information, please contact Mr Jason Baber -

‘Hold It’ Redesign Project
From Canterbury’s Creative Industries (Design) Faculty…
Here are Ashlyn Dinsdale's, Rory Walker's and Alex Arbuthnot's 'Hold It' assessment folios.
‘Hold It’ is a special redesign project which challenges students to improve an item that they hold.

Canterbury Represents @ 2022 South Coast Regionals: Pacific Districts Cross-Country Championships
Canterbury Represents @ 2022 South Coast Regionals: Pacific Districts Cross-Country Championships
Our students participated in the 2022 South Coast Regionals: Pacific Districts Cross-Country Championships over at Rivermount College on Tuesday 7 June.
I'm so proud of every single Canterbury Taipan who competed.
Despite the cold conditions, Canterbury cheered the loudest and supported each other, with many running for their first time at the Regionals!
The Rivermount College venue certainly didn't disappoint with their very muddy and traditional Cross-Country course as well.
Congratulations to the following students who made it through to the States:
⭐️ Finn Watt - 11 Years Boys 1st (Great finisher)
⭐️ Peter Flaherty - 11 Years Boys 1st - Multi Class (Kept the same pace throughout)
⭐️ Connor Toney - 12 Years Boys 3rd (Took a slide)
⭐️ Mia Chizzoniti - 13 Years Girls 6th (Ran in her socks for most of the race as her shoes are still buried somewhere along the course!)
⭐️ Sophie Webb - 14 Years Girls 4th (Miss Consistency)
⭐️ Jorja Lockhart - 15 Years Girls 6th (Ran a beautiful race)
⭐️ Eloise Stanley - 16 Years Girls 4th (Looked strong throughout)
⭐️ Georgia Grimsey - 17 Years Girls 2nd (Queen of the track)
A fabulous result for our Canterbury Taipans with many improving on last year's results.
Thank you to all the parents, coaches, athletes and especially to 'Mouse' for assisting me with the marquee!
