Taipan Roboneers: Practicing To Be Future Programmers
https://youtu.be/5G3Shz0DnOM
Our Years 5-9 Taipan Roboneers have been busy learning coding fundamentals and programming their robots!
By learning coding fundamentals, they develop the skills to control robots with precision and consistency.
They also put into practice the role of being a programmer which involves:
- Identifying the problem - moving the robot from a set location for a specific measurement of distance, then having it collect an item, and finally return to its starting point.
- Describing a series of actions - through coding that solves the problem.
- Programming the robot.
- Testing and improving the robot's functionality.

Welcome To Canterbury's Junior School From Our Junior School Captains
Welcome To Canterbury's Junior School From Our Junior School Captains
Welcome or welcome back to another new, unique and extraordinary year at Canterbury College!
We are very excited to be back and look forward to seeing all your lovely faces.
We hope you enjoyed a wonderful extended summer holiday and a brilliant first few weeks of Term One.
As we all know, COVID once again crashed the start of the school year.
However, we are here now, and are very grateful to be back in our classes with our wonderful teachers.
We would like to start by saying welcome to all the new students and their families - we hope you love your new school.
As we all know, going to a new school can be stressful and nerve-wracking, so we hope you have found your feet and made some wonderful new friends.
You can always talk to your teachers and the Junior School Captains about any concerns, so please do not hesitate to ask if you need assistance or support.
We would be delighted to assist you and help you to have the most amazing journey here at Canterbury.
Let’s talk about special events here at Canterbury...
The Junior School was alive with excitement over the opening of the brand-new playground.
It has multiple courses, all based on a particular stage or level, with Years 2-3 playing at first break and Years 4-6 playing at second break.
Some important rules have been established to keep everyone safe and happy.
Our Junior School Captains have been trialling a new ‘Meet And Greet’ at the P-2 drop-off carpark zone.
Captains are showing their great leadership skills by welcoming families as they arrive, and escorting our little people to their Prep classrooms.
This has been going extremely well!
We would like to announce that Canterbury's The Dark Side Astronomy Club is now open for Years 5 – 12.
Come along and explore the universe and what lies within, as we meet every Monday afternoon from 3:30pm - 5:00pm in the Discovery Centre Junior School Library.
And let's not forget the CANTERBEE logo design competition.
To all the young artists and designers out there, please try and create a logo for this competition - you could win $20 to spend at the School Canteen.
Plus, you will have your design printed for the Canterbee's honey jars.
If you would like to enter, go to the MyCC - Canterbee Honey Label Competition to find out more about the design brief.
Hot off the press… The new Book Club is now open!
All readers and podcasters are welcome to attend this new club.
Each term, we will venture into a new book that will be read and then turned into a podcast for all Canterbury students to listen to.
Not only that, but new books that aren't even on the shelves yet, will be happily given to members of this Book Club - it's free and it's fun!
It will be open for Year 4 students at Monday lunchtime and for Years 5 – 6 students at Tuesday lunchtime.
Students have already started their JTAS Sport training, cross country, swimming and tennis.
Some of the Year 5s and 6s have also joined secondary students as part of Canterbury's eSports team on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes - this has been a lot of fun!
As we finish this week, we would like to congratulate all the JTAS teams that played last weekend for the successful start to the 2022 season.
Till next time... Take care and have a wonderful Term One.
2022 Junior School Captains - Ava Heath (Year 6 - Goldsworthy) and Banjo Newton (Year 6 - Kime)

Smoother Junior School Drop-Offs & Pick-Ups Procedure
Smoother Junior School Drop-Offs & Pick-Ups Procedure
Dear Parents and Carers,
After the first few weeks of Junior School student drop-offs and pick-ups, and after lengthy discussions with staff, we are implementing some additional procedures to support smoother mornings and afternoons in the carparks.
In summary:
- Parents approaching a pick-up zone are asked to display a poster of their family and children's names on the passenger side of their dashboard.
These posters have been provided to the oldest child in each family today. - Waiting students will be asked to sit and will be instructed to move to the waiting vehicles by staff.
- Parents are to remain in their vehicles and their child/ren will be delivered to the car by a teacher on duty.
- Parents are asked to park in an available parking space if they need to get out of their car.
- Year 2 students who do not have younger siblings will be collected from the High Road Pick-Up Zone.
Please find attached a detailed procedure for each drop-off and pick-up process.
A copy of this document has been sent home with the eldest child in each family today.
For these procedures to work, it is important that all parents and carers adhere to the attached guidelines, and follow the instructions of the on-duty staff.
Our staff are working very hard to make pick-ups and drop-offs as smooth as possible for all our parents.
Thank you for your cooperation.
Michelle Leftwich
Head of Junior School

Canterbury's (Weather Delayed) Tonga Appeal NOW Begins Friday 4 March! 
On Friday 4 March 2022, we are starting our journey to support the families affected by the devastating effects of the volcanic event on the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai people, which left many children and parents with psychological trauma and without critical resources.
To support this cause, we are hosting a Sausage Sizzle with soft drink and Otai (a traditional watermelon drink) also available.
This will be held at Friday’s Second Break (Lunchtime) outside P Block under the pergola facing the ovals on that new later date.
Additionally, we will be holding an appeal to collect necessities over the next week ending Friday 4 March 2022.
Any donations can be brought to Mr Chris Nield’s Office (K5).
Donations can include:
- Canned Foods
- Clothes
- Bags
- Shoes, Slippers
- Toys, Books, Colouring Pens, Pencils & Crayons
- Girls Sanitary Products
- School Backpacks
- Towels
- Wipes
- Water Bottles
- Dignity Kits
- Sports Equipment
Your support would be appreciated. See you Friday!
