Canterbury's (Weather Delayed) Tonga Appeal NOW Begins Friday 4 March! 
On Friday 4 March 2022, we are starting our journey to support the families affected by the devastating effects of the volcanic event on the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai people, which left many children and parents with psychological trauma and without critical resources.
To support this cause, we are hosting a Sausage Sizzle with soft drink and Otai (a traditional watermelon drink) also available.
This will be held at Friday’s Second Break (Lunchtime) outside P Block under the pergola facing the ovals on that new later date.
Additionally, we will be holding an appeal to collect necessities over the next week ending Friday 4 March 2022.
Any donations can be brought to Mr Chris Nield’s Office (K5).
Donations can include:
- Canned Foods
- Clothes
- Bags
- Shoes, Slippers
- Toys, Books, Colouring Pens, Pencils & Crayons
- Girls Sanitary Products
- School Backpacks
- Towels
- Wipes
- Water Bottles
- Dignity Kits
- Sports Equipment
Your support would be appreciated. See you Friday!

From The Principal: College Master Plan Consultation
From The Principal: College Master Plan Consultation
At the end of 2021, I announced that our Master Plan for the future buildings and grounds priorities of Canterbury College was drawing to a close.
This was the culmination of a wide consultation process involving parents, students, staff and the expert guidance of Wilson Architects, who were selected to lead the design.
The quality of the Master Plan has certainly been enhanced by the collaborative process we embarked on with our community.
We are now seeking to implement the delivery of this Master Plan through a Ministerial Infrastructure Designation (MID).
A MID is a process used by many independent schools, whereby final approval is granted by the Minister for State Development, Infrastructure, Local Government and Planning.
This MID community engagement process will commence in the coming days.
It will involve our local neighbourhood, the Logan City Council, elected representatives, and of course our Canterbury families.
The attached snapshot flyer and proposed diagram of our Master Plan captures the priorities for our buildings and grounds over the next decade and beyond.
Although our College is growing steadily to its enrolment cap in 2027, there are no plans for rapid expansion.
The decisions we will make about our facilities will always be driven by a commitment to deliver the best-quality learning environments for our students, that inspire them to reach their full potential.
This may involve removal of some older buildings, extensions and refurbishments, as well as some brand new buildings.
We will be hosting an information session for parents regarding the Master Plan and our immediate priorities.
Please stay tuned for the date claimer for this opportunity.
Kind regards
Mr Dan Walker
College Principal

Flashing School Zone Safety Signs Coming Soon
Flashing School Zone Safety Signs Coming To Old Logan Village Road
In the coming weeks, flashing school zone safety signs will be installed on Old Logan Village Road.
Canterbury College was nominated to receive these new signs as part of a Queensland Government commitment to improve road safety around schools.
You will notice the new signs look similar to standard school zone safety signs, but with the addition of a red flashing ring around the speed limit, as well as two flashing yellow lights at the top of the sign.
The lights only flash during school zone times and only on school days.
The installation of flashing light school zone signs is proven to improve visibility of school zones, serving as an active reminder for motorists to slow down.
So next time you’re dropping off or picking up your child, keep an eye out for the new signs and make sure you stick to the signed speed limit.
Thank you!
