Calling All Boys To The Dance Floor In 2025 | BoyZone (Years 3-6) & BoyzCrew (Years 7-10)
At Canterbury, we value the importance of creating a positive culture for boys to engage in our Dance Program.
Dance offers boys a chance to build physical strength, coordination and flexibility while fostering creativity and self-expression.
It also encourages teamwork, overall fitness, discipline and focus, while providing a supportive environment for boys to develop confidence, challenge stereotypes, and explore movement in a team environment.
There are multi-faceted benefits of dance for boys, from physical health to social and emotional growth and wellbeing.
So boys are warmly encouraged and strongly welcomed in all our dance ensembles.
We offer two specialist teams in BoyZone and BoyzCrew both led by Mr Brown.

What is SPARK?
SPARK is an elective-based ‘hands-on’ curriculum for Years 5 and 6 students unique to Canterbury.
Each semester, our students choose a particular subject to study.
Then, students from both year levels are combined into the same classroom and taught by relevant staff.
SPARK is about building curiosity, encouraging students to try something new, and providing an exceptional opportunity to embark on their learning journey as part of their ‘World Ready’ Canterbury education.
When does SPARK occur?
SPARK happens once weekly, with students encouraged to continue learning beyond the classroom.
How does SPARK link to the Australian Curriculum?
SPARK focuses on the Australian Curriculum’s general capabilities, critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical understanding and intercultural understanding.
How can I see my child’s learning?
The Junior School hosts a learning exhibition at the end of each semester, where all students will have something to exhibit based on their SPARK sessions.
