Week 8 Junior School Assembly Wrap | Year 2 Cohort Presentation, Years 3-6 Athletics Carnival Winners, Public Speaking Competition Winner, First Gotcha Draw
Yesterday afternoon, we held our Week 8 Junior School Assembly at the CEC, led by our Year 2 student cohort.
They shared their work from this term with families and other students, showcasing their artworks and their knowledge about the science topic: Push And Pull.
During Assembly, we also announced the winners and age champions of the recent 2024 Years 3-6 Athletics Carnival (please see below).
Congratulations to all our young placegetters and to Goldsworthy House for securing their first overall win!
Additionally, we revealed the results of our Junior School’s Lumina Program Public Speaking Competition (please see below).
Well done to everyone who participated and worked so hard, and congratulations to our eventual winner Khushi Patil.
And finally, we held our first ever ‘Gotcha Prize’ draw.
The Gotcha Prize is awarded to students who embody our school values – from showing effort and trying their hardest in class, to demonstrating integrity by being honest and engaging in difficult conversations.
Whenever one of our Junior School students performed a good deed, they earned themselves a Gotcha ticket to go into the Assembly prize draw – so congratulations to our first Gotcha Prize winners!

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.
