THINK U KNOW is a program developed by the Australian Federal Police and will be delivered by Senior Constable Mitch Collins, who has been working in partnership with Canterbury College.
The program will be delivered differently for each year level, so the information provided is age-appropriate and relevant.

• Online safety (including online games).
• Online stranger danger.
• Challenges they may face when interacting online.
• How to report to a trusted adult if things go wrong.
As part of Canterbury’s It Takes A Village Partnership Program, Senior Constable Collins will also be holding a parent session on Wednesday morning 18 May 2022 from 8:30am – 9:30am discussing the THINK U KNOW Program, followed by a parent Q&A session, on how you can support your children to engage safely online.
This session will be held in the Junior School Library Discovery Centre.

Australian Space Design Competition (ASDC) 2022
Australian Space Design Competition (ASDC) 2022
The year is 2043...
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!
If any of the above interests you, or you would like further information, please sign up to the ASDC MyCC Page HERE.

They have supplied us with the following proposed bus routes that connect our campus with these fast growing Canterbury Family ‘heartlands'.
Please let us know what you think by emailing OR by leaving your comments on the related Facebook or Instagram post.
We've already fielded a question about adding Loganholme too, because it's so close to Eagleby.
PLEASE SHARE this information with any potential new Canterbury Families that might be holding off joining us here in Waterford, only because we don’t currently offer these bus routes into their neighbourhood.
We could potentially start offering these new bus routes this year based on your response!
