Cantabile Choir: Festival of Voices Tour
Cantabile Choir: Festival of Voices Tour
We are immensely proud of the members of our Cantabile Choir, who recently travelled to Hobart to participate in the 20th Anniversary Festival of Voices.
Festival highlights included:
- Performing at iconic locations such as St David's Cathedral, the IXL Atrium, Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Salamanca Markets, Hobart City Hall, the Convict Church at Port Arthur, and Lost Freight Café
- Attending concerts and events, including the renowned Big Sing
- Joining with youth choirs from around Australia and Spain to perform massed choral items
- Participating in a vocal workshop with the acclaimed German vocal ensemble, Sjaella
Alongside their musical commitments, the girls also enjoyed exploring Hobart and its surrounds.
Highlights included visiting the bustling Salamanca Markets, Constitution Dock, and the Mawson’s Huts Replica Museum.
A day trip to the historic site of Port Arthur and an excursion to kunanyi/Mt Wellington, where the girls delighted in a little snow, which offered memorable experiences beyond the stage.
On our final morning, we explored the charming village of Richmond, famous for its heritage-listed stone bridge (and its tricky hedge maze, where a few girls almost got lost!).
The choir gave beautiful performances in a variety of settings, from relaxed open-air markets to the reverent atmosphere of a cathedral, with students receiving many compliments for their talent along the way.
A particularly special moment was reconnecting with a former Cantabile member (2005–2007), who now lives in Hobart and attended our performance at St David’s Cathedral.

On Friday 20 June, Canterbury College marked the final day of Term 2 with its biggest community event of the year, ‘United Nations Day’.
Now in its fifth year, the celebration has grown significantly from its humble beginnings in 2020.
The day featured a vibrant array of food stalls prepared by families, offering traditional dishes from across Africa, Europe, the Pacific, Asia, and more.
The festivities began with a First Nations Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony, performed by the local Indigenous Mununjali and Logan Elders.
This was followed by the Parade of Nations Flag Ceremony, where students proudly carried flags representing their cultural heritage.
A vibrant 2.5-hour performance schedule showcased music, dance, and songs from countries including Samoa, New Zealand, South Korea, the Philippines, India, Africa, and many more – all choreographed by students with help from family and friends.
In addition, students from Years 5–12 came together to present a cultural fashion parade, proudly showcasing traditional attire from around the world.
Guests also enjoyed a range of cultural activities, including Indigenous weaving, henna tattoos, and arts and crafts.
This year’s United Nations Day was a powerful reminder of Canterbury’s rich diversity and inclusive spirit.
A big thank you to all the families, VIP guests, and students who supported and contributed to making this event such a success.
We were also pleased to welcome the Mayor of Logan, Jon Raven, who visited during the celebrations and showed his support for our vibrant multicultural community.

Year 9 Science on the Go! Incursion
Year 9 Science on the Go! Incursion
On Wednesday 17 June, our Year 9 students had the exciting opportunity to participate in a vibrant science incursion led by Mr Sidney Hooker from Griffith University, as part of the 'Science on the GO!' program.
This initiative was designed to engage students with a series of visual and hands-on experiments, sparking their curiosity and enthusiasm for science.
Throughout the session, Sid demonstrated various scientific principles through captivating experiments that not only entertained but also educated the students.
These activities were carefully chosen to prepare the students for their upcoming assessment celebrating Science Week 2025!
Next term, the Year 9 students will have the chance to present scaled down, yet equally intriguing scientific experiments to our Junior School students as part of Science Week.
These shows have proven in the past to be important memories for both the Junior school students and Year 9s and helps foster a sense of mentorship and collaboration.
The positive reactions and enthusiasm from our Year 9 students were evident, as they eagerly participated and asked insightful questions.
This experience highlighted the engaging and fascinating nature of science as a subject, and the importance of practical, hands-on learning in fostering a deeper understanding of scientific concepts.
Overall, the 'Science on the GO!' demonstration proved to be a resounding success, leaving our students inspired and excited about their future scientific endeavours.

Year 3 Science Excursion to Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary | Photo Gallery
Year 3 students recently visited Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary as an engaging introduction to their Science unit on living and non-living things.
Exploring Australian animals in their natural habitats provided students with a valuable, hands-on learning experience.
They enjoyed stroking a koala and a lizard, observing a variety of animals up close, and feeding the kangaroos, which was once again a clear favourite!
