National Music Success: 47th John Curro National Youth Concerto Competition - Haydn Li

Our Year 9 student Haydn Li has been selected as a Recitalist in the 47th John Curro National Youth Concerto Competition (NYCC).

The NYCC is recognised as the most prestigious competition in Australia for string soloists aged up to 18 years.

It was established by the Queensland Youth Orchestras in 1976 to encourage the development of young Australian string players.

Former winners of the competition include Ray Chen, Richard Tognetti, Emily Sun, Zoe Black and many other professional musicians, who have forged successful national and international careers.

3 Finalists and 4 Recitalists were chosen nationally through a rigorous audition process.

This year, Haydn is one of only two players chosen from Queensland, with all the remaining competitors from New South Wales.

As part of NYCC week (1 - 9 October), Haydn is currently giving an intensive series of recitals, at various venues including: Brisbane Boys College, Brisbane Grammar School, Mansfield State High School, the 4MBS Performance Studio, John Paul College and Somerville House.

This will culminate in a performance at the Old Museum Building THIS Sunday 9 October at 3pm, where Haydn will be joining the Queensland Youth Symphony in the String Sensations concert.

THIS Friday 7 October, Haydn will be giving a recital at John Paul College at 9:30am. #NYCC

Canterbury College And The School Locker Announce Uniforms Price Freeze Until 1 JULY 2023!

Canterbury College And The School Locker Announce Uniforms Price Freeze Until 1 JULY 2023!

Dear Parents & Carers,

With high inflation and rising interest rates putting added financial pressure on our families, we are extremely pleased to announce that Canterbury College, with School Uniform partners The School Locker, have jointly imposed a price freeze on uniform items until 1 JULY 2023!

Both organisations are very happy to deliver this news, after the last two frustrating years of heavily COVID-disrupted production lines and delivery dates beyond our control, for many of our core uniform items.

Thankfully, these are all now largely back in stock, or suitable substitutes have been sourced, with bulk deliveries received across Terms 2 and 3.

Over the past several years, the Uniform Supply Industry has experienced significant cost increases in raw materials, factory production, onshore freight charges, and wage costs for local Australian retail teams.

Every level of the supply chain, including local suppliers, have been passing on these costs to the consumer over this time.

With these adverse conditions in mind, The School Locker holds a service agreement with Canterbury, which allows for annual CPI price increases, to compensate for these added operational expenses.

However, in partnership with Canterbury College leadership, The School Locker has committed to deferring any price increases to the middle of next year and absorbing these higher expenses.

Both parties genuinely understand the difficult economic environment at present, and appreciate the loyalty of our parent body over this year’s transitional period.

So in return, we offer this nine month Canterbury uniform price freeze until 1 JULY 2023, to lend a very practical helping hand.

Kind regards,

Mr Dan Walker              Ms Harmony Bonney
Principal                          Area Manager QLD Metro South
