Year 10 Startup Business Students: Industry Feedback Session | Event Wrap & Video
Year 10 Startup Business Students: Industry Feedback Session | Event Wrap & Video
https://youtu.be/zaNvYcyl0K4
Last Wednesday, eager students in our two Year 10 Startup Business classes, engaged in a feedback session with real-world industry professionals.
Over the past few weeks, these students have been exploring the foundational aspects of startup culture, resulting in the creation of their very own product-based or service-based businesses.
They centre around their natural areas of interest or they represent products that can genuinely assist people in their daily life.
This special feedback session was filled with a wealth of ideas, advice and suggestions from adults with relevant business and marketing experience.
Guests included: Mr Pete Maynard - CyberMetrix, Mr Alex von Kanel - AutoBros & Shango Technology, Mr Joe Lydeamore - Bendigo Bank, Mr Dan Dempsey - Future Anything, Mr Gabriel Matt - Wilak Media, Ash - Elula Home, Ms Tahlia McCaffrey - From Zion, Mr Tate Ryan: Economic Development Program Leader - Logan City Council, and Father Dan Talbot – our very own College Chaplain.
All were impressed by the level of professionalism and enthusiasm shown by these Year 10s, and the advanced nature and thinking behind the concepts presented on the day.
Students Riley Edwards and Damian Huang facilitated a short panel discussion with our Entrepreneurs In Residence Mr Peter Maynard and Mr Alex von Kanel.
Peter and Alex shared some advice around building resilience, and emphasised that it is okay to face setbacks, and the importance of ‘failing fast’ and learning from those mistakes quickly.
Peter also spoke about the power of bringing consumers and your team along with you, and how important presentation skills are for making strong connections.
A big ‘thank you’ to the industry professionals who generously dedicated their time and ‘worklife wisdom’ to support our young entrepreneurs.
We are looking forward to seeing these students' results when their products and services are officially presented to the wider Canterbury Community on Showcase Day – Wednesday 5 June.
Year 10 BEE Student Breeze Tauroa’s Event Welcome Speech:
Thank you to the industry professionals for giving up your time and for supporting us.
This subject is different from our other school subjects.
It is a practical subject that challenges us to start and manage our own small business.
We are in the beginning stages of this journey and are all looking for advice and feedback on our next steps.
Our first few weeks were spent researching and discussing the fundamentals of startup culture.
We were encouraged to create a business based on a human problem and area of interest.
As teenagers we have many other commitments, so it is important that we are passionate about the problem our business is solving.
We were taught to hold our problem tightly but our solution lightly…

2024 Year 7 UPP: Unleashing Personal Potential – Stronger Connections Wellbeing Day | Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
Today, all our Year 7 students undertook a very motivational all-day wellbeing workshop in the CEC.
They tackled activities designed to help them step out of their ‘comfort zone’, while promoting positive communication and problem-solving skills.
And each attending student really enjoyed the opportunity to learn, grow and connect with one another.
One particular activity challenged students to verbally guide their partners in guessing shapes or letters.
They then attempted to draw these shapes or letters in the air with their finger, like ‘reverse charades’.
Special thanks to the UPP: Unleashing Personal Potential and Forging Connections agency for facilitating this excellent wellbeing day with us.
UPP is dedicated to teaching students strategies around personal engagement in relevant, challenging, practical and inspiring ways.
They specialise in building growth mindsets, grit, wellbeing, healthy relationship skills and leadership skills.

2024 Canterbury Senior School Musical: Mary Poppins Jr | Event Wrap & Photo Gallery
On Saturday, our Senior School Musical ‘Mary Poppins Jr’, illuminated the stage over at the Logan Entertainment Centre with a matinee and evening showing.
Their performances were superb, showcasing excellent acting, singing, choreography and teamwork – all supported by a brilliant and hardworking costume, props and set department.
The audience often burst into applause and laughter, enchanted by Mary Poppins' magical charm.
Unsolicited social media comments from happy attendees over the weekend wholeheartedly endorsed the production values and quality of both shows.
So our heartfelt congratulations to all the Senior School students and staff involved in bringing this musical to life.
Your dedication was truly evident, and we are extremely grateful for all your time spent rehearsing and preparing since late last year.
Now – what should our next school musical be???

Canterbury’s Prep - Year 4 Student Easter Garden Pots | Telling Easter's Traditional Story...

Canterbury’s Prep - Year 4 Student Easter Garden Pots | Telling Easter's Traditional Story...
During Term 1, Canterbury’s Junior School students in Prep to Year 4 have been creating their very own Easter Garden Pots, to help them tell the traditional Christian story of Easter at home these holidays.
College Chaplain Father Dan Talbot visited the classes during their Canterbury Kitchen Garden lessons, and explained their potted gardens required the following features:
- A mound to represent the Hill of Golgotha where the crucifixions occurred.
- Three stick crucifixes, including a larger central cross, for Jesus who died on 'Good Friday'.
- A buried empty smaller pot to represent the tomb where Jesus’ body was placed.
- A pebble path leading to the empty tomb, on which Mary walked and discovered that Jesus was Risen.
- A rock representing the boulder that was rolled away from the entrance of the tomb, revealing the tomb was now empty.
- And green growth which reminds us that God is still working and creating in our world today, just as we can still grow ourselves, to be the person God wants us to be.
Canterbury's Year 3 classes used actual grass seeds, but the other students used a ready grown sedum known as 'Blob'.
“The Easter Story is a message of Hope and Love, and these Easter Garden Pots are designed to encourage our students – with their parents and families – to discuss the story over this Easter break,” Father Talbot said.
“These living, growing gardens can work alongside other popular Easter symbols such as eggs – which are a symbol of new life, and even the chocolate – which reminds us how sweet it is to have Jesus in our life.”
In line with Canterbury College's Anglican values, during these garden-making lessons, students and families of all faiths and religions were acknowledged as being very welcome at the school.
Students engaged strongly with these innovative outdoor religious lessons, and they really enjoyed hearing about the traditional Christian story of Easter.
“There are so many Easter symbols, but it's great that this year, our younger students have an actual garden to take home with them,” Father Talbot said.
“Hopefully it helps those Canterbury families celebrate the real reason we have Easter in our homes these holidays, and keeping the gardens moist and healthy, should bring some extra ongoing joy into each household.”
Canterbury College wishes everyone a happy and holy Easter, and that the story of the Easter Garden will help you discover the Hope and Love that is offered by this traditional Christian story.
And make sure you check out our video to see so much more of the fun that we had making our Easter Garden Pots.
