Today marked a minor milestone as our Canterbury Rock School staged its very first concert at Junior School’s brand new Nabei (verb meaning ‘to play’) Multipurpose Outdoor Learning Space during lunchtime.
With its spacious and cool shaded area, Nabei provided the perfect setting for the concert out of the hot Spring day sunshine.

Year 9 Business Start-Ups: Industry Feedback Session | Event Wrap, Photos & Video
https://youtu.be/vtPUtGkMrCM
On Tuesday morning 22 October, our two Year 9 Start-Up Business classes merged to engage in a direct and very productive feedback session, with real-world industry professionals and business owners.
Over the past few weeks, these students have been exploring the foundational aspects of the start-up 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 or services that can genuinely assist people in their daily life or leisure time.
This special feedback session was filled with a wealth of ideas, advice and inspiration from adults with relevant business, sales and marketing experience.
Guests included: Alex von Kanel – Founder of AutoBros, Gabriel Matt – Wilak Media, Jason Le – JRNY Digital, Jess Feeney, CEO – Daycare Swaggies, Melea Oakden – Daycare Swaggies, Kris Humphrys – Recre8 Automotive Group and Canterbury Parent, Kacie Bakos – Canterbury Parent, Jade Marshall – Founder of Paws and Pages and our Year 10 Start-Up student, plus various Canterbury staff members including Deputy Principal Meagan King.
All were impressed by the level of professionalism and enthusiasm shown by these Year 9s, and the advanced nature and thinking behind their concepts presented on the day.
A big ‘thank you’ to the industry professionals and staff who generously dedicated their time and ‘worklife wisdom’ to support our young entrepreneurs.
