Student Free Days NOW Regular School Days: Tuesday 19 April And Monday 11 July 2022
Student Free Days NOW Regular School Days: Tuesday 19 April And Monday 11 July 2022
Dear Parents, Carers and Students,
To add some much-needed face-to-face teaching time back into our College’s academic calendar, we are converting the next two Student Free Days on Tuesday 19 April 2022 (after Easter Monday's public holiday) and Monday 11 July 2022 into normal school days.
We will never gain back all the regular school days we lost during Term 1 with the lengthy COVID-delayed start to the school year, and then during the recent Logan floods.
However, reclaiming these two days as regular school days will kick-start Term 2 and Term 3 one day earlier in the best spirit possible, of providing the maximum education experience here at Canterbury.
There are no plans whatsoever at this stage to convert either the QCAA Student Free Day or the December Student Free Days.
Your advance support of this necessary change is greatly appreciated in the best interests of our entire student body.
Kind regards
Mr Dan Walker
College Principal

Friday's 2022 Lead With HEART Leadership Event - Photo Gallery
Friday's 2022 Lead With HEART Leadership Event - Photo Gallery
We welcomed Year 6 student leaders from Cedar Creek State School, Bethania Lutheran School, Gleneagle State School, Greenbank State School and the Woodhill State School for our annual Lead With HEART leadership event.
The day's vision saw these Year 6 student leadership groups being brought together to help kick-start their momentum for 2022, helping them reach their milestones and leaving a lasting legacy at their school.
Lead With HEART was facilitated by the professional company yLead.
This full-day experience educates and empowers students to be the best leaders they can be.
Throughout the day, students explore the acronym H E A R T in a series of fun challenges that summarise being:
Helpful – looking out for everyday actions that enrich the lives of others.
Energetic – promoting and sharing positive energy.
Active and Aware – becoming more aware of personal strengths and how they can be used to take positive action as a leader.
Resilient – the importance of having the courage to try new things, and learning to respond positively to challenging or difficult situations.
Team player – the importance of working with others in an encouraging and supportive environment.
Thank you to the visiting staff from each school who attended on the day.

Top Benefits - Aqua Aerobics
1. Water supports your body, putting less stress on your joints and muscles.
2. Working out in water helps build strength, as pushing against the water activates your muscles.
3. Water pressure helps put less strain on your heart by moving blood around the body.
4. The impact of gravity is less in water, allowing a greater range of motion.
5. Working out in water helps prevent overheating, helping you exercise for longer.
6. And… it’s fun! How often can you say that about a workout?
