2022 Pacific Districts Athletics Trial Carnival Results: 2 Record Breakers!
2022 Pacific Districts Athletics Trial Carnival Results: Canterbury's Two Record Breakers!
On Tuesday 2 August, 77 Canterbury Athletes competed at the Pacific Districts Athletics Trial Carnival.
This is where Canterbury competes against all the other schools in our District. 
And we achieved so many personal best times and distances! 
Jack Addley broke the 17-year-old Javelin Record, throwing 57.39m into a headwind. 
And a massive shout-out to our College Captain Madisen-Jade Iva, who broke a 20-year-old record in the Shot Put, throwing a monster 12.84m - two metres further than the previous record! 
Our Middle-Distance Runners and Sprinters set blistering times, while our High Jumpers and Long Jumpers, and Throwers in the Shot Put and Javelin performed beautifully too. 
It was great seeing everyone trust their training and be comfortable in their own abilities.
The support you showed each other was truly amazing. 
Congratulations and best wishes to the 66 Taipans participating in the Regional Trials in a few weeks’ time.

Some excellent volleyball played by Canterbury's three teams over the weekend, at the 2022 Volleyball Queensland Senior Schools Cup from Friday to Sunday, down at the Coomera Indoor Sports Centre and Gold Coast Sports & Leisure Centre in Carrara. 
We competed in the Year 12 Boys Honours Division, Year 12 Girls Division One, and Year 11 Boys Division Two, amongst around 2,000 other fellow senior students from all over the State.
Thank you to our coaches Terence, Yurii and Decio for the time they've given up to help develop Canterbury Volleyball.
Year 11 Boys Division Two: Our Years 9-10 Boys competing against Year 11s finished on a win, concluding their competition in 5th place - a great showing by these boys competing against older opponents.
Year 12 Boys Honours Division: Our Open Honours Boys finished with a dominant win over Capalaba to finish in 7th place - a great experience for our boys proving their worth at the highest level of school volleyball in the State.
Year 12 Girls Division One (main picture above): Our Open Girls finished with a bronze medal, winning their Division One final in straight sets! 
Well done to these girls who played exceptional volleyball over the full three days!

REMINDER: Logan’s RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday THIS Monday 8 August!
Canterbury College will be CLOSED THIS Monday 8 August for the annual Logan RNA (Ekka) Show Public / School Holiday.
Our ELC & Camp Australia Outside School Hours Care (OSHC) Services will NOT be operating also.
NB: Wednesday 10 August – Brisbane’s RNA (Ekka) Show Holiday is NOT a Logan Area Public Holiday, so our school will operate as per normal on this Wednesday.
Enjoy your long weekend everybody!
NB: These holidays are based on the school's physical address in the Logan OR Brisbane City Council Local Government Areas, not where the parents are coming from, which causes confusion sometimes.

Years 11-12 Japanese Language Students CBD Excursion Report
Years 11-12 Japanese Language Students CBD Excursion Report
On Tuesday 26 July, our Years 11 and 12 Japanese Language students embarked on an exciting journey to ‘Japan’.
In the morning, students boarded ‘Canterbury Airlines' with flight director Mrs Wu, to travel to their first destination – the Consulate-General of Japan in Brisbane City.
The Consulate staff delivered a very informative presentation on the topics of ‘Travel In Japan’ and ‘Careers Using Japanese’.
These topics are directly related to the units the Year 11s and 12s are currently studying.
After our Consulate visit, students went to DAISO - a Japanese store, and GENKI MART - a Japanese supermarket, to purchase some omiyage (souvenirs).
It is part of the Japanese culture to always buy omiyage for your friends and family when travelling.
Students bought some traditional Japanese foods - such as natto (fermented beans), to try.
The GENKI MART staff even spoke Japanese to our students to give them an authentic shopping experience.
For lunch, students went to a traditional Japanese restaurant where they had to order and pay for their food in Japanese.
Students tasted some traditional Japanese foods such as obento, sashimi (raw fish), donburi (rice-bowl dish), udon (Japanese noodles) and nigiri sushi etc.
The restaurant featured authentic Japanese décor, with beautiful lanterns on the ceiling and Japanese murals on the walls.
The last stop on our ‘Japan Trip’ was karaoke, an integral part of Japanese pop culture.
Students stepped out of their ‘comfort zone’ to sing in front of their peers and experienced the Japanese way of socialising with friends through karaoke.
Although COVID has prevented us from actually going on our biennial Japan Trip, through this Brisbane City excursion, students got to immerse themselves in Japanese culture and use the language they’ve been learning in class in the real world.
I hope this trip is one they will remember for many years to come…
