Years 10 and 11 French Excursion To Micro-Folie Exhibition
On 26 March our Years 10 and 11 French students visited the Micro-Folie Exhibition at QUT, hosted by Alliance Française.
Micro-Folie is a digital museum that allows students to immerse themselves in French culture and art and explore renowned works from famed French, European, and international institutions such as the Louvre Museum, the Palace of Versailles, and the Picasso Museum.
Following a viewing of masterpieces by Vincent Van Gogh, students took part in a workshop facilitated by Alliance Française. ️️
Alliance Française de Brisbane is part of a worldwide network of 850 Alliance Française centres, supported by the French Government, which aim to promote the French language and francophone culture around the world.
This excursion was an excellent opportunity for students to engage with French native speakers and deepen their understanding of the importance of art in French culture.
It was a great experience!

Year 9 Drama Students Perform Futuristic Pieces For Assessment
Today, our Year 9 Drama students showcased their Contemporary Theatre performances, featuring scenes from David Burton's play 'Wisdom'.
The play delves into a futuristic society where aging halts at 16 due to a groundbreaking injection, leaving individuals physically frozen in their teens, while they continue to mature mentally and emotionally.
It challenges conventional notions of wisdom and expertise, questioning whether age necessarily correlates with wisdom.

Easily navigating through the round stages, both teams secured their spots in the semi-finals, facing off against Forest Lake teams.
After triumphant victories in the semis, Canterbury found themselves in a unique position - a Canterbury vs Canterbury final.
The final showdown was nothing short of exhilarating.
The duo comprising Bentley Horne and Lucas Noy emerged victorious, clinching the title after winning the first two games in the best-of-three final series.
The success of Canterbury College in the Fuse Cup Rocket League Tournament not only underscores their skill in competitive gaming, but also reflects their commitment to sportsmanship and teamwork.
All Canterbury students represented the college admirably, and their achievements fill us with pride.
