Canterbury Wins 2023 Logan Business Distinction Award: Education, Employment & Training Category
Canterbury Wins 2023 Logan Business Distinction Award: Education, Employment & Training Category
Last Friday night, Canterbury College was honoured to win the 2023 Logan Business Distinction Award in the Education, Employment & Training Category.
We were up against fellow (and very worthy) local Logan category finalists…
The Bee All Natural ‘artisan’ family beekeeping, premium raw honey and bee products business with their strong community educational model.
The Workways positive social and economic employment, education, training, small business development, social enterprises and community programs provider.
And the YMCA Vocational School which uses honesty, responsibility, respect and care to create a nurturing learning space, preparing students for a future of engagement, confidence and health.
Our award was sponsored by Mr Cameron Dick MP – State Member for Woodridge, amongst 17 other Logan Industry Awards presented during the gala evening, hosted at the Logan Entertainment Centre by the Logan Chamber of Commerce.
It was a great night with a full house of deserving Logan small, medium and large businesses, industry leaders and local, state and federal politicians.
The only unfortunate coincidence was that the 2023 Australian Education Awards were actually held on the same night down in Sydney, where College Principal Mr Dan Walker was required to attend, so Canterbury's Director of Communications Mr Stephen Buckley accepted the award on his behalf...
Official Canterbury College Thank You:
On behalf of the Canterbury College Anglican School in Waterford, we would like to thank those people who nominated us, and the judges who chose us to win this award.
We also congratulate the other very worthy organisations in our Education Category for being nominated.
And a special ‘shout-out’ to our hard-working Logan Deputy Mayor Laurie Koranski for always supporting our school so strongly – you are brilliant.
So we are very grateful for this award tonight, and passionate about the responsibility we have to make 1,560 Prep to Year 12 kids ‘World Ready’, on behalf of their parents and carers and the wider community.
Our school has changed enormously since 2019 under Principal Dan Walker, and we hope we get the chance to welcome your family to our Canterbury Community too.
Thank you.
Deputy Mayor Laurie Koranski – Logan City Councillor For Division 4:
It was my pleasure to attend (Friday) night’s awards ceremony and to speak on behalf of the city.
It was another fabulous line up of wonderful businesses from many sectors across our city.
We recognised them in style with new categories added again this year.
The calibre of businesses in our city is phenomenal, and last night was a night for them to shine!
Congratulations to all the nominees and award winners for all their success over the past year, and I can’t wait to see what new and exciting things you achieve in the coming year!
Mr Jon Raven – Logan City Councillor For Division 5:
On Friday night the Logan Chamber of Commerce hosted the Business Distinction Awards and were silly enough to ask me to be their MC!
It was an incredible night with both the Munster Services Group and Bee All Natural winning the Business of the Year and Small Business of the Year awards.
Thank you to all the business owners and their staff who work so hard to make the economy in Logan hum.
Not all heroes wear capes!
Logan Chamber Of Commerce:
Well done to all those hard-working Logan business owners recognised for their contribution to Logan City!
Congratulations to all the nominees, finalists, and winners at the 'Business Distinction Awards!

2023 Logan Business Distinction Awards: Canterbury College Announced As Finalist
The Logan business community’s ‘night of nights’ awards ceremony is just a fortnight away, so the Logan Chamber of Commerce announced their category finalists at a special breakfast on Wednesday morning at the Springwood Lions Club.
With thousands of businesses of all types and sizes operating in the City of Logan, for any organisation to win or be nominated for a business award, is wonderful public recognition and a major reputational boost.
It showcases that the business has achieved a certain level of excellence, and been recognised by industry experts or nominated by a respected commercial body.
This year there are 19 Industry Awards, seven Major Awards, and two Business of the Year Awards.
“It was an exciting morning with the finalists for our upcoming Annual Logan Business Distinction Awards being announced,” a spokesperson from the Logan Chamber of Commerce said.
“Thank you to all our local businesses who took the time to nominate – we understand it’s a huge process filling in your in-depth online application.”
The 2023 Logan Business Distinction Awards will be held on Friday night 11 August at the Logan Entertainment Centre and tickets can still be purchased HERE.
Canterbury College has been nominated as one of four finalists in the following category:
Education, Employment & Training – Sponsored by Cameron Dick MP:
- Bee All Natural
- Canterbury College
- Workways
- YMCA Vocational School
The other categories are: Automotive & Transport, Health & Wellbeing, Home Services, Business To Business, Hospitality & Event Services, Media & Advertising, Medical & Vet Services, Charity & Not For Profit, Building Construction & Real Estate, Professional Services, Retail, Creative Industries, Tourism, Trade Services, Beauty & Bridal, Manufacturing & Production, and Technology.
Please wish us well on Friday evening 11 August…

2024 & 2025 New Canterbury Student Enrolments Update | PLEASE ACT NOW
2024 & 2025 New Canterbury Student Enrolments Update | PLEASE ACT NOW
Existing Canterbury families with children not currently enrolled here, plus interested friends of current Canterbury parents, as well as prospective families around the Logan area, have been enquiring about the present status of our school’s vacancies for next year and 2025.
For starters, our much-valued existing families will have priority access to vacancies that arise in other year levels, although this cannot be guaranteed, the closer we get to declaring certain year cohorts totally full.
Now our major official student intake years are Prep, Year 5 and Year 7.
Places are also made available for new enrolment ‘top-ups’ in Year 10.
Right now in late July, there are very few places available in Prep right through to Year 7 for 2024.
In fact, many of these year levels have growing waitlists – especially Year 5.
Having said that, we still advise interested parents and carers to lodge their online enquiry or online application ASAP to join these waitlists.
That’s because we refresh these waitlists weekly, and certain families drop out because they relocate, choose another option, their financial situation changes, or they don’t match our school’s values.
Offers will still be made throughout the remainder of this year as places in classes for 2024 become available.
Offers for Secondary School places in Years 8 to 12 for 2024 are being made now too, where vacancies exist – such as in Year 10 for impressive candidates.
At the other end of the spectrum, there are very few places left in full-time and part-time Canterbury Kindy and Pre-Kindy for 2024.
Again, we urgently advise families to lodge their online enquiries or applications as soon as possible, if you are looking for places in 2024 or 2025, to avoid disappointment.
As for Prep, Year 5 and Year 7 for the year after next in 2025, we once again strongly urge families to lodge their online enquiries or online applications ASAP to get ahead of the queue.
Then interviews will be scheduled by our Admissions Team once applications are lodged.
Finally, can I just say, Canterbury College is always looking for outstanding young men and women to join our school – especially in Years 7-12, for the benefits they can bring to our whole Canterbury Family.
This same warm invitation exists for those prospective families who embrace the benefits of our ‘all-rounder’ World Ready student ethos.
Kind regards
Mr Dan Walker
College Principal
