Your favourite ‘practically perfect’ nanny takes centre stage in this Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious adventure based on the award-winning Broadway musical and classic Walt Disney film.

It remains one of the most popular Disney movies of all time, and the Broadway musical has played over 2,500 performances, and received multiple Olivier and Tony Awards nominations.

And now there will be two more performances thanks to Canterbury’s senior school students and vibrant Performing Arts faculty.

In this Junior musical version, jack-of-all trades Bert, introduces us to England in 1910 and the troubled Banks family.

Young Jane and Michael have sent many a nanny packing before Mary Poppins arrives on their doorstep.

Using a combination of magic and common sense, she must teach the family members how to value each other again.

Mary Poppins takes the children on many magical and memorable adventures, but Jane and Michael aren't the only ones upon whom she has a profound effect.

Even grown-ups can learn a lesson or two from the nanny who advises that "Anything can happen if you let it."

Disney and Cameron Mackintosh's Mary Poppins JR is an enchanting mixture of irresistible story, unforgettable songs and breathtaking dance numbers.

All brought to you by the talented students of Canterbury College…

So get your tickets now as they normally sell out quickly!


Seeking New Canterbury Homestay Families For International Students | Earn $46 Per Night, Per Student – Overnight, Weekend, School Holidays, Short-Term & Long-Term Options

Seeking New Canterbury Homestay Families For International Students | Earn $46 Per Night, Per Student – Overnight, Weekend, School Holidays, Short-Term & Long-Term Options

Dear Parents & Carers,

We have an opportunity for our Canterbury families to be part of our wonderful Homestay Program, welcoming international students into their home.

Each year, Canterbury hosts overseas students from different countries all around the world, to study here at Canterbury College, and often these students require a homestay placement.

We are now seeking additional homestay families in our local Canterbury Community, who can help if a student needs to move from their current homestay location temporarily.

Families can host these students on a short-term basis – such as for a weekend or during the school holidays, or in a temporary scenario, which could just be for one night or several nights.

The choice is yours, and it’s a wonderful chance for a mutual cultural and language exchange between the student/s and your own family.

There may also be options for longer term placements if this is preferred.

Homestay families are paid $46 per night, per student.

If you are interested and would like to know more about homestay hosting, please email Canterbury’s Homestay Coordinator Mrs Catherine Holden -

Course Information

Our first Starfish swim-level is aimed at introducing babies to the water in a fun, nurturing and safe learning environment.

These swim lessons will promote opportunities for you to bond with your baby alongside social interactions with other mums and caregivers in your local area.

Lessons foster confidence for both the baby and mother/caregiver in the water and provide practical takeaway skills to use at home or any swimming pool.

This introductory water familiarisation class is designed to build basic skills that prepare mums/caregivers and their infants for the enjoyable journey through our learn-to-swim levels.

Skills will be built through play, exploration and repetition starting with basic breath control and conditioning, movement through the water, and building trust.

NB: Terms & Conditions apply.

Don't forget your towels and see you there!

2024 Privacy Collection Notice For Parents & Guardians | Address Collection By The Australian Government - Dept of Education

2024 Privacy Collection Notice For Parents & Guardians | Address Collection By The Australian Government - Dept of Education

Collection Notice For School Parents & Guardians | 2024 Student Residential Address & Other Information.

The Australian Government Department of Education would like to notify you that we have requested for your child’s school to provide your residential address and other information.

Under the Australian Education Regulations 2023, the school is required to provide the department with the following information about each student at the school:

  • names and residential addresses of the student’s parent(s) and/or guardian(s)
  • student residential address (excluding student names)
  • whether the student is a primary or secondary student (education level)
  • whether the student is boarding or a day student (boarding status).

The school collects the above information by generating a unique and unidentifiable Student Reference Number (SRN) for each student record.

The school only uses the SRN for this collection.

The SRN cannot be used for any other purpose.

The number only indicates to the department that each record provided is for one student.

Collection Purpose

The Student Residential Address and Other Information Collection informs Australian Government school education policy and helps ensure funding for non-government schools is based on need.

The information collected is used to inform school funding calculations.

It is combined with Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) data to calculate a non-government school community’s anticipated capacity to contribute to schooling costs.

In 2020, the department introduced a new measure of capacity to contribute: the Direct Measure of Income (DMI).

The DMI is based on the median income of non-government school students’ parents or guardians using this collection data.

What Do You Need To Do?

You are not required to do anything.

Your school is responsible for providing the department with the requested details; however, you can contact the school to update your family’s details.

For full information, please read the official PDF document HERE.

Thank you.
