2024 Interschool Queensland Junior Years 5-6 da Vinci Academic Decathlon | Full Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
2024 Interschool Queensland Junior Years 5-6 da Vinci Academic Decathlon | Full Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
On Tuesday, a group of eight Year 5 and eight Year 6 Canterbury students attended the Junior da Vinci Academic Decathlon at Saint Joseph’s Nudgee College, organised by our Lumina Program Coordinator Mr Jonathon Wheatley for our high-performing students.
Our Year 7s are attending today (Wednesday), while our Years 8-11 students are competing on Thursday, led by Senior School Teacher Mr Andrew Paltridge.
Canterbury’s Year 5 team placed third in the English section (please see photo attached), while the Year 6s competed valiantly – but did not secure a top three place.
The da Vinci Decathlon is a yearly academic competition designed to challenge and stimulate the minds of school students.
Students compete in teams of eight across ten disciplines: engineering, mathematics and chess, code breaking, art and poetry, science, English, ideation, creative producers, cartography and legacy.
This makes the event a very challenging part of the Junior School’s Lumina Program each year.
And now we wish Mr Paltridge’s Senior School teams of eight all the best for the rest of this week against the other attending schools.

Today, our Years 11-12 Economics students enjoyed the opportunity to attend an online presentation by the Reserve Bank of Australia, on our nation’s current economic climate.
Our students gained valuable insights into crucial topics such as economic growth, GDP, unemployment and the labour market, current inflation rates, cost of living, and the Federal Government’s broad monetary policy.
This experience has undoubtedly deepened their understanding and sparked greater interest in their chosen field of economics, fresh off the 2024 Commonwealth Budget which was handed down last week.

AI is no longer a distant futuristic concept…
It is here and now, expanding exponentially, and easily accessible to everyone.
Schools are no exception and Canterbury is determined to keep pace with this technology and harness the best it has to offer in education to our students and staff.
The Australian Government recently introduced guidelines for AI’s use within schools, recognising its ability to support teaching and learning.
Many exciting developments involving AI are already taking place in our classrooms.
Mr James Jenkins – our Head of AI and Digital Transformation, gives you this easy guide into how we are currently integrating AI into Canterbury College's educational environment.

Years 8 & 12 Dance Hip Hop Workshop Incursion – Bloodline Dance Company | Event Wrap & Video
https://youtu.be/OraUWYmJQ1Q
Today, our Years 8 and 12 Dance students embarked on an energetic exploration of Hip Hop Dance, guided by Keisha Joy from the Bloodline Dance Company.
The Director of Bloodline, Hillary Stowers, was a foundational member of Australia’s 'Academy of Brothers', representing Australia at esteemed competitions across Australia and the USA.
The teacher, Keisha, brought a wealth of experience and lively movement to the workshop.
This workshop experience aligns with the students commencing their Term 2 study within the ‘Practices and Skills Strand’ of their Dance curriculum.
The ‘Moving To Entertain Unit’ includes exposure to the genre and professional artists, so we are very thankful for Bloodline’s time and infectious enthusiasm this morning.
