Official Commissioning Of Father Dan Talbot As Our Canterbury College Chaplain
This morning at our Chapel of the Good Shepherd, we held a special service Commissioning Father Dan Talbot as our new Canterbury College Chaplain. ✝️
Father Dan started with us on-campus at the beginning of Term 3, but has been a regular (and most welcome!) Canterbury visitor over the years - attending our various chapel services, from his local Jimboomba Parish.
He has already been playing a significant role in our Religious and Values Education (RaVE) Program, and been a strong voice of inclusion - connecting students from all faith perspectives, into one reflective community founded on our shared values.
Today Father Dan received his official Commissioning Licence from the Archbishop to serve and mentor here at Canterbury College.
The ceremony itself was hosted by Bishop John Roundhill and attended by the local Logan Anglican Deanery with their special guests, and Father Dan's close friends from the Jimboomba Parish.
Father Dan was also presented with symbolic gifts from our student leaders who delivered readings and the intercessions.
Mrs Alisha Richardson and Ruby Fay gave a special Acknowledgement of Country, Principal Mr Dan Walker read out the Gospel, and special thanks to Dr Katrina Peddell, Mr Tim Li and their String Quartet of Areen Lee, Haydn Li, George Li and Kate Stone for their beautiful musical accompaniment.
Thanks to all the staff and student leaders from both the Junior School and Secondary School, and the community guests who attended this morning.
And welcome aboard (super officially) Father Dan Talbot!
PS: Our College Chaplain's Office is located at the Corporate Services Main Admin Building - with his clearly signed front door via the rear Secondary Library side entrance.
Please drop by or say hello if you see Father Dan around the campus, or make an appointment with him if you need a more in-depth chat.

⚽ Secondary Interhouse Football Tournament - Grand Final Result | Becket vs Ramsey
Our Secondary Interhouse Football Tournament concluded today with a nerve-wracking Grand Final.
It was Becket's Pride of Lions taking on Ramsey's Raptor Squad.
During a nail-biting match, the ball was swiftly pin-balling across the field with goalkeepers both at the ready.
The Becket Lions' roar was mighty, but the Ramsey Raptors clawed their way to a convincing 2-0 victory.

Well done to everyone who participated and cheered their Houses on from the sidelines...

Our Year 1 Canterbury Kitchen Garden Adventure
Our Year 1 Canterbury Kitchen Garden Adventure
Yesterday our Year 1 students visited our sunny Canterbury Kitchen Garden, where they looked at the freshly sprouted red poppy seedlings, checked in on their growing carrots, learned about our garden's nourishing worm tea, and started the planting process with sacks full of seed potatoes.
Mr Penny is hoping we can get around 3,000 spuds at harvest time!
Throughout this week, students in the Junior School will take turns collectively being part of this process, and creating abundant produce to share with our community.

This morning's Sudsy Challenge Sausage Sizzle for our Prep-Year 2 students was a flamin' good event.
We had four queues of hungry students waiting at what our students described as the 'length of 1,000 sausages' per line.
But they were happy to wait, as each sausage sandwich purchased supports the wonderful Orange Sky Australia charity!

Years 10-12 White Card Safety Course | Photos
Today, 19 Canterbury students in Years 10-12 are undertaking their White Card Safety Course.
Having a White Card is a legal requirement for all tradespeople to be able to enter an active job site.
If the students want to do any work experience, or an apprenticeship or traineeship in a building industry trade, then they need this card.
This course covers Workplace Health and Safety around entering and moving around job sites, including wearing the required PPE (Personal Protective Equipment).
Just another great day at Canterbury, helping our students become as World Ready as possible.
A big thanks to Blue Dog Training for delivering such an informative and engaging experience for our Secondary Students.
