Checking in on Canterbury’s 2022 Australian Space Design Competition Crew with Mr Baber…
Checking in on Canterbury’s 2022 Australian Space Design Competition Crew with Mr Baber…
Background Briefing:
The year is 2043… (almost 2046 Mr B)
You work for a company that builds spaceships, and you’ve received a new contract to build a new space settlement that orbits Earth.
Your company has various departments…
Maybe you are looking after the interior and exterior features of the settlement?
Maybe it’s your job to provide for the wellbeing of the residents living in the settlement?
How will they entertain themselves? How will they stay safe and healthy? How will the settlement look after food, water and power for its residents?
Perhaps you need to describe just how the settlement should be constructed, and determine what materials are needed?
Perhaps you need to design machines for the settlement – cranes, jigs, robots etc?
Or maybe you are looking after the costs of the job?
How much do the workers earn? How much do construction materials cost?
The Australian Space Design Competition (ASDC) puts you in a team where you are designing a space settlement from top to bottom.
There is no activity more sci-fi than the ASDC!
For more information, please contact Mr Jason Baber -

2022 Scholastic Junior School Book Fair!
Dear Parents & Carers,
I am happy to announce the Scholastic Junior School Book Fair is back at Canterbury in 2022.
Starting THIS Wednesday 8 June and concluding THIS Monday 13 June, our primary students will be able to create a wishlist based on all the great titles available and on display to purchase these books.
The Discovery Centre Junior Library will be open beyond normal school hours from 8:00am - 8:45am and from 3:15pm - 4:00pm during Book Fair school days, for wishlist orders, book collections and processing payments via cash or EFTPOS.
Online ordering is also available this year.
Stationery can be purchased at the main lunch break from 1:30pm – 2:15pm.
Each Book Fair is designed to give children access to more books they want to read, from relevant new-releases to classic award-winners.
As your children grow, Book Fairs make it easy to ensure their home libraries grow with them.
Yours in reading,
Anita Pendreigh
Teacher Librarian

ITEM TWO: CALL OF DUTY!
Will, Rohan and Kevin - as their first official point of order - have asked for more past students to join the Canterbury Alumni Network Committee:
- To attend Tuesday night CAN Meetings once per term in the Canterbury Board Room.
- OR even via Zoom Meetings!
- To help with the 5 & 10 Year / 20 Year / 30 Year reunion dates and locations, plus new event plans.
- To bring fresh ideas and energy to the table (literally), with natural attrition meaning new members are required to replace those few who’ve sadly moved interstate for work or left for personal reasons etc.
- It really is a fun sociable group with highly enjoyable Term meetings that feature genuine snack-fests!
If this sounds like you, please make yourself known on our CAN Private Facebook Group Page - (16) Canterbury College Official Alumni Network | Facebook AND tagging our three new alumni ‘bigwigs’ or simply email – – and we can pass the message on…

So… we are seeking YOUR location suggestions, to allow us to start making some serious event bookings and placing some deposits.
Last Year: Norman Park Community Bowls Club – 5 & 10 Year Reunion | Bar Pacino (CBD Riverside) – 20 Year Reunion | Sirromet Winery – 30 Year Reunion.
New ideas please! Felons Brewing Co. (Howard Smith Wharves)? The Fox Hotel (South Brisbane)? Brisbane Powerhouse (New Farm)? Sirromet again?
If you wish to make a suggestion, please make it on our CAN Private Facebook Group Page - (16) Canterbury College Official Alumni Network | Facebook AND tagging our three new alumni ‘bigwigs’ or (again) simply email – – and we can pass the message on…
