College Chaplain Father Dan Talbot shared an inspiring sermon, reminding us of the true meaning of Christmas.
He also thanked our amazing College community for donating so many gifts and toys to Anglicare Southern Queensland, ensuring more children in need will experience the joy of Christmas this year.
Father Dan emphasized that Christmas is more than just festivities — it's a celebration of Jesus Christ's birth.
His heartfelt message was beautifully complemented by a creative Christmas-themed video which you can watch here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y700Xsa3JLo
Canterbury Cup Victory!
In an exciting 'year finale' announcement, Cranmer House claimed the prestigious 2024 Canterbury Cup, ending Ramsey House’s four-year winning streak.
This victory was a perfect send-off for Cranmer’s Head of House, Mr Alan Lyle, and Assistant Head of House, Mrs Rachelle Lee, as they prepare to step down from these roles next year.
Congratulations Cranmer House Wolves — your hard work, determination and team spirit has paid off.
As 2024 draws to a close, we thank our entire Canterbury Community — the students, staff and families — for making this year so memorable.
We wish everyone a joyful, safe and well-deserved holiday season.
We can’t wait to welcome you all back on Wednesday 29 January 2025.

Our Year 8 BEE: Business, Economics & Entrepreneurship students brought the holiday cheer to campus during morning tea with a Christmas-themed pop-up market outside the School Canteen.
As part of their Entrepreneurial Design project, these budding business minds have been hard at work creating their own products to share with our Canterbury students and staff.
From homemade treats and festive ornaments to candles, jewellery, Crocs jibbitz, and more – there was something for everyone to kick off their holiday shopping.
These stalls are a great opportunity for our students to show off their entrepreneurial skills and spread a little joy.
The next Year 8 BEE Christmas Gifts: Pop-Up Market Stalls is scheduled during lunchtime TODAY – so don’t miss out!

Year 10 Micro-Credentials Two-Day Course: Certificate II In Barista Skills | Photos & Recap
Year 10 Micro-Credentials Two-Day Course: Certificate II In Barista Skills | Photos & Recap
Yesterday, Mr Paul Penny and I took some Year 10 students on a morning train to the city for the first day of their two-day Micro-Credentials Barista Course, where they began working towards their Certificate II in Barista Skills with the Skills Training College - RTO 45654.
The students were fully engaged as they learned the essentials of both white and black coffee styles. ☕
Each student made approximately 24 different coffee beverages, ranging from Café Lattes, Short and Long Macchiatos to Piccolo Lattes and more.
They practised techniques for steaming milk, managing espresso shots, and presenting their drinks with a focus on consistency and quality.
By the end of the session, they had a solid foundation in coffee-making skills, and gained confidence in working under the real-time pressures of a busy café setting.
The experience not only improved their practical skills, but also gave them a better understanding of the responsibilities and challenges of working in the Hospitality industry.
We had a great day filled with learning and hands-on experiences, helping our students get ready for the real world.

What is SPARK?
SPARK is an elective-based ‘hands-on’ curriculum for Years 5 and 6 students that is unique to Canterbury.
Each semester our students choose a special 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 for them to embark on their own learning journey, as part of their ‘World Ready’ Canterbury education.
When does SPARK occur?
SPARK happens once per week, with students encouraged to continue their learning beyond the classroom.
How does SPARK link to the curriculum?
SPARK focuses on the Australian Curriculum’s general capabilities, looking at 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.
