Senior Japanese Excursion | Recap & Photos
Senior Japanese Excursion | Recap & Photos
Last Friday, our Years 11 and 12 Japanese classes enjoyed a highly educational Senior Japanese Excursion.
We started by visiting the Consulate-General of Japan in Brisbane City, where we learned about future pathways, exchange programs and scholarship opportunities.
It was inspiring to discover the endless possibilities of mastering the Japanese language.
Next, we explored Genki Mart, a Japanese supermarket filled with authentic products and cultural treasures.
From snacks and drinks to unique ingredients and artifacts, it gave us a true taste of daily life in Japan.
Our adventure continued with a traditional Japanese lunch, where we savoured the authentic flavours of Japan.
To top it off, we immersed ourselves in Japanese pop culture with a lively karaoke session, singing our hearts out and unleashing our inner J-pop stars.
It was an unforgettable day filled with learning, culture and fun.

Our Year 9 Drama students recently worked on their Children's Theatre performances, which they presented to Canterbury’s own ELC classes as part of their Creative Industries Faculty studies.
The Zen Zen Zo Physical Theatre Group, who also worked with our Year 12 Drama students, were on campus running two workshops during class time to enhance our students’ physical on-stage performance abilities.
This assisted our young actors in giving more engaging performances for their ELC audiences in June as part of their curriculum assessment.

Mr Jason Daniel: LSKD Founder & CEO | Speaks With Canterbury Year 7 Business Students
Mr Jason Daniel: LSKD Founder & CEO | Speaks With Canterbury Year 7 Business Students
Our Year 7 Business, Economics and Enterprise class explores the skills needed to become a successful modern-day entrepreneur.
So who better to provide industry advice than Mr Jason Daniel, Founder and CEO of the highly successful Australian sportswear brand LSKD?
Canterbury students Ottelia Faggotter and Sidney McMahon recently enjoyed the amazing opportunity to sit down with him and discuss all things business.
Mr Jason Daniel is a 37-year-old mega success story from right here in Logan, Queensland.
This former pro motocross rider turned tradie who used to earn just $7 an hour, has transformed his clothing company into a global powerhouse worth $100 million AUD.
At just 12-years-old, Jason began making his own t-shirts for the local BMX community.
By 16, while working as an apprentice carpenter, he officially launched ‘Loose Kid Industries’ in 2002.
LSKD – short for 'Loose Kid’ – comes from his nickname, earned through his fearless BMX riding.
In 2007, this brand name transitioned from 'Loose Kid Industries' to simply 'LKI’.
Even while juggling a full-time carpentry job, and stashing his clothing products in three huge shipping containers in his mum's backyard, Jason stayed committed to the brand, pushing through even during slow sales periods.
After a broken wrist ended his motocross aspirations in 2010, Jason went 'all in' on his clothing label and business dreams.
Although the early days were riddled with setbacks, Jason's unwavering persistence and determination, and sheer belief in his products eventually paid off.
After another rebranding to ‘LSKD’ in 2018, the focus shifted to e-commerce and a dual-channel approach, with online and physical stores.
A sophisticated multi-faceted marketing strategy, a willingness to learn from mistakes, and truly valuing his team, were crucial to LSKD's exponential growth.
Between 2019-23, the company's annual revenue skyrocketed from $1.6 million to $76 million, with celebrities like Hillary Duff, Zac Efron, Hailey Bieber, Vanessa Hudgens and Emily Ratajkowski sporting the label.
With worldwide success and continuous growth, LSKD stores are opening across the globe, embodying their commitment to getting 1% better every day.
So let’s see what Mr Jason Daniel can share with our Canterbury students Ottelia and Sidney!

Canterbury Junior Ethics Olympiad | Online Interschool Competition Currently Underway!
Canterbury Junior Ethics Olympiad | Online Interschool Competition Currently Underway!
It’s an exciting day for learning as select students in Years 5-6 dive into the Junior Ethics Olympiad.
The Junior Ethics Olympiad is an online interschool competition held across Australia and the wider region, where Canterbury Lumina students present ethically-sound arguments to answer questions about six different scenarios.
Unlike a debate, teams need to acknowledge others’ contributions and can agree or disagree with them, while also presenting possible alternate views to their own arguments.
The Canterbury Junior Ethics Olympiad team this year consists of Khushi Patil, Emma Kay, Haeun Bae, Pegella Beh and Ruhani Sayan, and they have worked well as a team in coaching sessions to prepare for this event.
Lumina is our special College program dedicated to further empowering our high-performing Junior School students.

Year 11 Building And Construction Class Makes New Seating In Canterbury's ANZAC Garden
Year 11 Building And Construction Class Makes New Seating In Canterbury's ANZAC Garden
Yesterday, our Year 11 Building and Construction class finished off the practical requirements of their module on Site Preparations and Foundations.
Students have been learning about methods used in the construction industry to construct formwork to be used in concreting.
The Year 11 class have been trained in the use of a cement mixer, concrete placement and using hand trowels.
They are also trying a less used form of reinforcement in the concrete - Glass Fibre Reinforced Concrete (GFRC), over more traditional steel reinforcement.
The students have been enjoying applying their skills in real world applications, by constructing new seating to replace existing seats in our Canterbury ANZAC Garden.
Nice work gentlemen, and I think we would all agree, the finished product looks fantastic.
