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.

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 wreaking havoc on factory production work and transport supply lines, high sick leave staff shortages and international customs hold-ups, 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.
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!"

IMPORTANT NEWS: 2022 COVID Update #2 - Return To School & School Uniform Update
IMPORTANT NEWS: 2022 COVID Update #2 - Return To School & School Uniform Update
Dear Canterbury Families and Staff,
I write today to provide some updates to our learning model and back to school arrangements for Weeks 1 and 2 of the school year.
K – 10 Supervised Learning
As indicated in my previous letter on Tuesday 11 January 2022, we are offering a supervised learning environment at school for Kindy to Year 10 children of essential workers and vulnerable children.
Thank you to those parents and carers who completed the survey indicating your intentions.
Students will be supervised by teachers and learning assistants from their year level on a rotating basis across this two-week period from Monday 24 January – Friday 4 February 2022.
While the formal curriculum will not begin in this time, some revision activities and learning related to the curriculum will be scheduled.
Camp Australia will continue to operate their before and after school care.
Years 11 – 12 Remote Learning
Year 11 and 12 students will commence their remote learning with their class teachers from Monday 31 January – Friday 4 February 2022.
This will be delivered via Teams and OneNote, as we have used in previous lockdowns in 2020-21.
Students will be expected to attend each of their timetabled lessons each day and complete their assigned activities.
They will commence actual coursework during this week of remote learning.
Invitations to these online lessons will be pushed out through Teams, so students can simply enter each lesson from their calendar, as required.
Years 8 – 10 Introductory / Bridging Learning
For students in Years 8 – 10 only, we will also plan some introductory and bridging learning activities in core subjects only for Week 2 from Monday 31 January – Friday 4 February 2022.
This material will be assigned by the class teacher on Teams and OneNote, with summary emails and MyCC posts affirming the work to be done.
There will be no live classes for Years 8 – 10. Rather, the set work will be made available for students to complete at their own pace through the day.
Teachers are of course available through the day to answer questions via Teams and email.
Work will be set for English, Science, Mathematics and History.
For Year 8s, there will also be work for their Language and for PE theory.
For Year 9s, there will be work for PE theory which is set.
Plans Beyond Week 2
Our teachers are using the extra time at the beginning of the year to plan outstanding learning experiences for when ALL students return in Week 3 from Monday 7 February 2022.
It is likely that some or all Student Free Days planned for the remainder of this year will be converted to regular teaching days, as a way of making up the academic time.
If further COVID disruptions to the school year occur, we will continue to re-evaluate as required.
New Students Years 8 – 12
New Years 8 – 12 secondary students are asked to attend a 1:1 Device Tutorial Session at Canterbury’s Orientation Day on Friday 28 January from 8:30am – 10:00am in the Arts Centre Auditorium.
Please use Gates B or C along Easterly Street with plenty of onsite parking very close to the Auditorium. Please see our on-campus map signs when you arrive for the exact building location.
Mr James Jenkins, our Director of Learning and Teaching Innovation, will be helping all new students in Years 8 – 12 navigate our online learning environment, so they can access resources and participate in remote learning.
Air Purification
We are currently attempting to source air purifiers for our Junior School classrooms.
Stock levels of these types of machines are obviously in short supply globally, but we are attempting to secure some stock.
School Uniforms – Full Update
COVID continues to wreak havoc on global and domestic production levels and our transport supply lines, with staff shortages and international customs hold-ups.
This means that our usual uniform shipments that arrive in November or December, in plenty of time for the new school year, have been delayed.
While our new retail partnership with The School Locker and their Loganholme Superstore makes navigating these complex supply chains much easier, there have still been delays to the delivery of many school uniform items.
At present, the following are in short supply and/or delivery has been delayed…
PLEASE NOTE: These dates are our best guide ONLY and deliveries may change daily.
