SPARK is an elective-based 'hands-on' curriculum for Years 5 and 6 students unique to Canterbury.
Each semester, our students choose a particular 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 to embark on their learning journey as part of their 'World Ready' Canterbury education.
When does SPARK occur?
SPARK happens once weekly, with students encouraged to continue learning beyond the classroom.
How does SPARK link to the curriculum?
SPARK focuses on the Australian Curriculum's general capabilities, 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.

2024 Under Eights Day | Photo Album Now Available
Friday's 2024 Under Eights Day was full of fun activities to celebrate this year's theme: 'Connecting To Culture Through Play'.
We had our local Fire and Police Services sharing some valuable information with our students.
There were also dress-ups, face painting, storytime, constructing recyclables, crafts and much more to keep everyone entertained.
Our students were thrilled by a magic performance in our CEC featuring bubble tricks.
A few lucky students even got to step inside giant bubbles!
Wrapping up their exciting day was a good ol' fashioned disco, where our Prep to Year 2 students danced the school day away with the Macarena, rock-style air guitar and a long line of limbo.
What a day!

Second Principal Reverend Paul Bland Catches Up With Canterbury College
Second Principal Reverend Paul Bland Catches Up With Canterbury College
Canterbury College was extremely pleased to welcome back its second ever College Principal Reverend Paul Bland (1995 - 2002) on campus, for a special lunch with current fifth Principal Mr Dan Walker (2019 - ), and some of our longest serving staff members, who were around during Reverend Bland’s tenure here.
Lunch guests included Laurie Maetam, Elaine Dobeli, Lisa Dinsdale, Nick Gillin, Glen Walker, plus current Deputy Principal Meagan King and College Chaplain Father Dan Talbot.
After lunch, Reverend Bland was taken on a campus tour – with some buildings very familiar to him, alongside quite a lot of new developments – like Care Central and our Aquatic & Tennis Centre, since he retired from Canterbury in 2002.
We certainly were honoured hosts today and Reverend Bland was clearly impressed by how much the school has grown over the years…
