Mainfreight Industry Partnership - Canterbury Student Employment Opportunities
Mainfreight Industry Partnership - Canterbury Student Employment Opportunities
Dear Students and Families,
Mainfreight is a global leader in the transport and freight industry, and excitingly, Canterbury College has been chosen as their partner school for engagement and employment opportunities in Australia.
This is a wonderful opportunity and has been awarded to us due to the outstanding achievements, significant career progression and employment success of former Canterbury College students.
So Mainfreight would like to offer a kick-start to Canterbury students seeking a career pathway in the transport and supply chain industry.
Location: Mainfreight Transport - Larapinta, QLD.
Work Type: Casual.
Hours: 3 x 4 hour shifts per week for total 12 hours per week.
Mainfreight is open to negotiating days and start times to suit each student’s needs from Mondays to Fridays 4:00pm – 10:00pm and Saturdays 7:00am – 12:00pm noon.
Eligibility: Australian Citizen or Permanent Resident.
Own Transport: Students will need reliable transport, either their own vehicle or a parent/guardian who can drop them off and collect them, as public transport is not accessible to Larapinta.
Application Process:
- Email your resume and cover letter to -
- Students will be contacted via phone for an interview.
- Mainfreight will need to complete pre-employment drug & alcohol testing and police checks before commencement, should you be successful.
Remuneration: Students will be paid the award rate applicable to their position under the Road Transport & Distribution Award 2020.
The Role:
The role will be hands-on and based around the Afternoon Shift initially, where students will learn the operations from the ground up.
They will begin by learning how to scan, check and sort freight and the process involved in loading and unloading interstate line-haul and local pick up units.
For students who are interested in gaining their forklift license, Mainfreight will also assist them in this.
Should the students enjoy their experience and wish to continue over the holidays, Mainfreight is open to offering extended hours between 4-8 hours, for up to 5 days a week.
They are also mindful that around exam times, students would not be able to work 3 shifts, so they are open to being flexible with those dates to accommodate these studies.
Career Pathways:
As Mainfreight believe in promoting from within, once the students have a complete understanding of the PM shift - after graduating and are available full-time - there are many internally advertised opportunities they can pursue across their Transport, Warehousing & Air & Ocean Divisions, including operations, sales and administration.
This is a great school - industry partnership with a world-leading company.
So please don't hesitate to get in contact with any questions.
Kind regards
Ms Bre Ramsay-Orr
Director of Student Futures

Option One: Bring your second-hand Canterbury school uniform items to sell or swap yourself at the meet.
If so, please register for your trestle table by emailing your full name, mobile number and rough number of items to Lisa Foster –
Option Two: Donate your second-hand Canterbury school uniform items to the College for volunteers to sell with our BIG THANK YOU!
If so, please deliver your clothing items either to:
(A): Canterbury College – Main Administration Office (not the Secondary or Junior School Admin Offices).
Attention: Lisa Foster during opening hours from 8am – 4pm.
Attention: Stephen Buckley after hours from 4pm – 8pm.
Please text or call Stephen when at the front doors for office entry after hours – Mob: 0401 086 387.
Please leave your bagged or boxed items by the front glass doors if outside both these timeframes.
OR to wonderful Canterbury event promoter:
(B): Mrs Yvette Peterson, President of the Canterbury Sport Supporters Group.
Please contact or DM Yvette via her CC Sports Supporters Group on Facebook to make your arrangements directly with her - CC Sports Supporters Group | Facebook.
She will then deliver her collection to Canterbury in time for Saturday’s Buy Sell Swap Meet.
Yvette lives nearby in Waterford and has generously offered to collect uniforms from those parents and past-students who wish to donate, but lack the transport to deliver items to the school. Legend!
Uniform Pricing
Parents selling uniforms themselves can naturally decide their own item prices on the day.
Donated uniforms will not be specifically ‘priced’ so that purchasing parents can pay whatever they can afford or feel is reasonable.
Our goal is NOT making money BUT getting these second-hand uniforms into the hands of parents who need them!
Please Note: ALL profits from donated school uniforms will be split 50/50 between the Canterbury College Sport Supporters Group and Performing Arts Supporters Group. THANK YOU!
This is a CASH PREFERRED EVENT.
Parents selling items themselves will need their own cash float or Square Card Reader.
College donated items can be purchased preferably by cash, but Canterbury will provide a portable EFTPOS machine.
Important COVID QLD Health Schools Directive
ALL parents, carers and students are most welcome to attend and shop at this meet here on campus, whether fully vaccinated or not.
Likewise, you are most welcome on campus to donate or deliver your school uniform items in person, whether fully vaccinated or not.
This is because you are classed as temporary visitors – the same as doing child drop-offs and pick-ups on school days on campus.
However, any parent or carer volunteering their time and labour to staff the trestle tables, must be fully vaccinated, as you are classed as service providers – the same as being a contractor or maintenance worker on campus (paid or unpaid makes no difference).
Call For Buy Sell Swap Meet Volunteers
Having said that, we will gratefully accept any fully vaccinated volunteers who can help with trestle table sales on Saturday morning.
If you are available and happy to help out, please email Lisa Foster with your full name and mobile number, plus proof of your full vaccination to –
Please Note: Canterbury’s Saturday morning TAS Trimester One sport training and trials will be running at the same time on the various ovals, up at the Canterbury Taipans Tennis Centre, in the nearby Sports Hall, plus over at the CEC on High Road.
NB: The Technology Precinct toilets at the rear of the Trade Training Centre will be open for use – please follow the signs.
A Message From Mrs Yvette Peterson:
“Thanks to COVID, the usual shipments of new Canterbury uniform items have been delayed.
That means there are lots of new students to the school, as well as those moving up from Junior to Secondary, that may not have all their required uniform items for the first day of Term One.
As a parent at the school, I wanted to make a call out to the Canterbury Community for anyone that may have old Canterbury uniforms gathering dust in your cupboards – from past student alumni or from kids who’ve outgrown them – that could help make another student feel comfortable on their first school day.
We will need uniforms, as well as volunteers who can help at this meet, to try and get uniforms into the hands of those kids that really need them.
Last Saturday morning’s meet was a big hit with parents, so we’re hosting another one this Saturday morning to help even more families.
But we REALLY need more Secondary School uniforms donated this week or put on sale at the meet.
So if you can help with any of this at all, please get in touch. I am happy to collect items from your home where possible.
And please spread the word about this event!"

More Information
Welcome To The 2022 Secondary School Year
Welcome To The 2022 Secondary School Year
Dear Parents and Carers,
Welcome to the 2022 school year. I hope you and your family are well and that you were able to spend some time relaxing and connecting with family and friends over the break.
I want to take this opportunity to provide some information to assist you across this unusual start to the school year.
Secondary School Administration
You may have recently seen the social media posts of our new Secondary Administration building which was the old 'Q Block' last year.
Based at the Secondary School (Entrance D) drop-off and bus zones, this is an ideal location to welcome students to school, and to support any needs they may have.
The following staff are located in Secondary School Administration:
- Mr Paul Diete - Deputy Principal
- Mrs Rebecca Adamson - Head of Secondary School
- Mr Arnie Marraiya - Director of Administration
- Mr Mitchell Staples - Director of Academic Achievement
- Ms Fiona Dixon - Director of Student Wellbeing
Students will be required to present themselves to Secondary School Administration if they are late to school or have an early departure.
Drop-Off Zone
Secondary School students are to be dropped off at the Old Logan Village Road Gate Roundabout (Entrance D).
Students who are late to school are to check-in at Secondary School Administration with a note from their parents.
Entrance B on Easterly Street is no longer a drop-off zone for students, as this area has been allocated as staff parking only.
Care Central
The new Care Central building (previously the Secondary Administration building), supports a range of student needs including: first aid, the sick bay, student medications, student counselling services, college chaplaincy services and post-schooling education and careers support.
In the event a student requires collection due to ill health or injury, parents and carers can collect their son or daughter from Care Central via the Easterly Street Entrance B gate.
Illness
It is very important that if your son or daughter is not feeling well or has COVID symptoms, that you keep them at home.
These symptoms include: fever, sore throat, heavy coughing, runny nose, shortness of breath, bad headache, heavy fatigue, vomiting or nausea, loss of smell and/or taste, muscle or joint pains, loss of appetite or diarrhoea.
In the event a student presents to a classroom or Care Central feeling unwell or with symptoms, they will be immediately sent home.
We need to protect all staff and students on-site, so we ask you to support us by monitoring your children’s health.
Masks are still mandatory for secondary students. At this stage, masks are mandated when moving between classes and into the classroom.
They can be removed if students can socially distance when sitting down in class, and when sitting down to eat lunch outdoors.
We will update students and families in the event this changes.
School Uniform Expectations
The recent supply and shipping issues has meant some students may not have every item of their school uniform.
We are fully aware of the situation and will make allowances for students.
However, we do expect that students will meet our very conservative and long-standing expectations regarding haircut and hair colour, shaving, make-up, jewellery, nails and lashes when they return to campus on Monday 7 February.
Q: "What is meant by a neat blended hairstyle for male students?"
A: A hairstyle that does not resemble, e.g: a step cut, mullet, have an undercut or shaved lines. Attached are some images for a visual explanation.
Q: "What earrings can female students wear?"
A: Females may wear one pair of small, plain, silver or gold sleepers or round studs in their earlobes. Attached are some images for a visual explanation.
Please contact Ms Fiona Dixon, the Director of Student Wellbeing with any queries or concerns.
Should a student not meet these expectations, they will be required to rectify it before returning to class, which parents should understand may involve students being sent home.
The Uniform Policy is available on the College website to support families.
Mobile Phones / SIM Enabled Devices
Late last year, we updated the Mobile Phone Policy to better support learning in the classroom and the development of quality relationships while at school.
Years 7 and 8 students will hand their device into Secondary School Administration when they arrive at school from 8:00am each day.
Parents of students in Years 7 and 8 are required to complete this FORM HERE to register your son or daughter’s phone.
If your son or daughter requires a phone at school later in the year, the Registration Form can be found on the Secondary School MyCC Page via the Forms tile.
Students in Years 9 – 12 are required to turn their phones to silent or off, and leave them in their locker upon arrival at school from 8:00am each day.
They are not permitted to access their phone throughout the day until 3:20pm.
Students who need to contact parents need to see their Head of House or Secondary School Administration who will support them.
Week 2 Learning Models (Monday 31 January - Friday 4 February)
Years 8 – 10 Learning Model
Students will be provided with three hours of activities per subject to be completed over the week.
This is a self-paced opportunity for students to engage in activities that will ensure learning has commenced, and to prepare them for their return to face-to-face classes on Monday 7 February.
The subjects providing activities include:
- Year 8: English, Mathematics, Science, History, Health and Physical Education theory and LOTE.
- Year 9: English, Mathematics, Science, History and Health and Physical Education theory.
- Year 10: English, Mathematics, Science and History.
Mr Mitchell Staples, Director of Academic Achievement, has provided the following instructions in this VIDEO HERE for students, to support the organisation of their week and to locate the required resources.
Years 11 – 12 Learning Model
Students will engage in actual curriculum online learning from Monday 31 January - Friday 4 February.
This is the online learning model we used in previous years and lessons will be delivered based on the normal school timetable.
Mr Mitchell Staples - Director of Academic Achievement, Mrs Fiona Dixon - Director of Student Wellbeing, and I will address students in a Teams meeting in Lesson 1 on Monday to support them in understanding the timetable and expectations of online learning.
Although this is an online learning model, students will be commencing formal learning and it is expected every student attends every lesson, including Form time.
We are recording online class attendance, so if your son or daughter has an appointment, is unwell, or is having technical difficulties attending lessons - please ensure you advise us via email - OR on the School Absentee Telephone Line - 07 3299 0858.
All students in Years 8 – 10 will be able to join their Head of House each morning (excluding Thursday) from 8:30am - 8:45am to check-in.
Years 11 and 12 students are required to attend these sessions to commence their school day.
We look forward to welcoming students back here on campus next Monday 7 February.
Should you have any concerns, please contact your son or daughter’s Head of House or Secondary School Administration via email - OR call 07 3299 0843.
Yours faithfully
