2024 Canterbury Interhouse Maths Teams Challenge & Pi Day Contest | Recap & Photos
Guess what? It's Pi Day!
And no - not the food kind...
Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and is an irrational number with infinite decimal places - from 3.14159........
Of course - we all knew that!
So to celebrate, we held our annual Canterbury Interhouse Maths Teams Challenge during today's lunch break and Assembly. ✖️➕➖➗
This event provided a platform for students selected from each House to participate in mathematical competitions across various age groups and relay events.
Participants showcased their academic ability, logic skills and memory by trying to recite as many pi decimal places as possible, and tackling various 'degree of difficulty' mathematical problems.
Stay tuned, as we will announce the challenge's results and winners shortly!

Last Friday morning, senior students and prefects Jasmine Wheatley (Performing Arts Captain), Ruby Wandschneider (Social Justice Captain), Ella Furlong (Goldsworthy House Captain) and Kaylee Tamala (Kime House Captain) represented Canterbury College at the Soroptimist International’s annual International Women’s Day Breakfast.
Established in 1921, Soroptimist International is a global volunteer organisation comprising approximately 66,000 club members across 120 countries.
Its central mission is advocating for human rights and gender equality, so Soroptimist International's United Nations representatives strive to ensure the voices of women and girls are heard.
They aim to empower women and girls to fulfill their personal and collective potential, achieve their aspirations, and advocate for equality within communities globally.
Breakfast attendees heard from Logan’s Centre Against Sexual Violence representatives about the important work they do supporting and empowering the women and girls in their care.
Proceeds from the morning were donated to the Centre to support more victims of sexual violence.
Our student leaders were grateful to hear from other guest speakers who shared their experiences and projects to support those in need in our local community.

2024 South-East Queensland Anglican Schools Student Leaders Symposium | Reflection, Photo Gallery & Video Highlights
2024 South-East Queensland Anglican Schools Student Leaders Symposium | Reflection & Photo Gallery
It was great to have the Anglican Student Leaders Symposium begin its day in our Chapel of the Good Shepherd, having Morning Prayer together.
Student leaders from Anglican schools across South-East Queensland helped to lead the service.
We were all blessed to be guided in our reflection time by the words of Archbishop of Brisbane Jeremy Greaves, who himself drew upon words from Archbishop of Canterbury Michael Ramsay - one of our Patrons here at Canterbury College.
The students heard from Bishop John Roundhill - Bishop of the Southern Region, later in the day too.
It was wonderful for him to be with us for Worship as well.

Ash Wednesday Service | Lent Explained & Photo Gallery
Ash Wednesday Service | Lent Explained & Photo Gallery
Yesterday afternoon, our students from Years 1-12 participated in our Ash Wednesday Service, marking the commencement of Lent. ⛪✝️
Lent is 40 days, excluding Sundays, observed in the Christian calendar, dedicated to fasting, prayer, and reflection leading up to Easter Sunday.
It holds significant importance for Christians, especially those in the Anglican tradition, serving as a time of spiritual preparation and self-examination.
During Lent, Anglicans often give up something they enjoy or find challenging, like certain foods or habits, as a form of self-discipline and sacrifice.
This practice aims to redirect focus towards spiritual growth, detachment from material possessions, and strengthening one's relationship with God.
Moreover, Lent encourages increased prayer and contemplation on one's faith journey and connections with others.
Anglicans may engage in special worship services, such as Stations of the Cross or Lenten meditations, to aid in this introspection.
In the Anglican tradition, Lent serves as a vital period of preparation for Easter, the pinnacle of the Christian calendar.
Through observing Lent, Anglicans strive to deepen their spirituality, strengthen their faith, and gain a deeper understanding of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection.
