Student Free Days NOW Regular School Days: Tuesday 19 April And Monday 11 July 2022
Student Free Days NOW Regular School Days: Tuesday 19 April And Monday 11 July 2022
Dear Parents, Carers and Students,
To add some much-needed face-to-face teaching time back into our College’s academic calendar, we are converting the next two Student Free Days on Tuesday 19 April 2022 (after Easter Monday's public holiday) and Monday 11 July 2022 into normal school days.
We will never gain back all the regular school days we lost during Term 1 with the lengthy COVID-delayed start to the school year, and then during the recent Logan floods.
However, reclaiming these two days as regular school days will kick-start Term 2 and Term 3 one day earlier in the best spirit possible, of providing the maximum education experience here at Canterbury.
There are no plans whatsoever at this stage to convert either the QCAA Student Free Day or the December Student Free Days.
Your advance support of this necessary change is greatly appreciated in the best interests of our entire student body.
Kind regards
Mr Dan Walker
College Principal

2. Working out in water helps build strength, as pushing against the water activates your muscles.
3. Water pressure helps put less strain on your heart by moving blood around the body.
4. The impact of gravity is less in water, allowing a greater range of motion.
5. Working out in water helps prevent overheating, helping you exercise for longer.

Our Year 11 Dancers' Response To Friday's 'Bullying No Way' Day
Our Year 11 Dancers' Response To Friday's 'Bullying No Way' Day
Here are some pictures and a short video clip showing some of our Year 11 Dancers, who began learning a new hip-hop routine for their performance assessment, in response to ‘Bullying No Way' Day.
Once complete, the purpose of the dance is to empower all students to stand strong together and speak up against bullying.
Please be aware, this was their very FIRST rehearsal, so we look forward to seeing the final product early in Term Two.
I would love for the Canterbury community to see some of the work from our curriculum dancers this year, as well as co-curricular performers. 😊
Kind regards
Mrs Cathy Brown
Teacher - Canterbury College
