Thursday Author Visit 
At the Discovery Centre this morning, we also had a special visit from Elijah and his friend Crumpet.
Their adventures have been captured in an amazing story called Motivate Man.
Elijah was able to meet with his young fans and sign some of his books in the library.
With books selling fast, we were lucky enough to get one for the Junior School collection and it will be available for borrowing soon.
Canterbury would like to thank #ElijahAndCrumpet for introducing us to #MotivateMan.
Yours in reading,

BIG Thank You Bunnings Loganholme!
The Canterbury College Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden and our Years 3 and 4 students have been the very fortunate recipients of an abundance of brand new gardening tools - including rakes, trowels, shovels, forks - and even some sugar cane mulch.
So we would like to say a HUGE thank you to Bunnings Loganholme for their very generous donation to our school's very own Kitchen Garden!
Mrs Sinclair and the Years 3 and 4 students cannot wait to use their new tools when we get our hands dirty at the very special 'I Beg Your Garden' Canterbury Kitchen Garden Capers: An Afternoon Adventure In Our Stephanie Alexander Kitchen Garden happening soon on Tuesday afternoon 15 June 2021.
We hope to see you there!

What is SPARK?
SPARK is an elective-based hands-on curriculum for Years 5 & 6 students that is unique to Canterbury.
Each semester our students choose a subject to study. Then students from both year levels are combined in the same classroom and taught by highly specialised staff.
These subjects include: Business | Film, TV & New Media | Food & Hospitality | History | Literature | Photography | Science | Sport & Fitness | Visual Arts.
SPARK is about building curiosity, encouraging students to try something different and providing an exceptional opportunity to embark on their own learning journey as part of their ‘World Ready’ Canterbury education.
When does SPARK occur?
SPARK happens once per week with students encouraged to continue their learning beyond the classroom.
How does SPARK link to the curriculum?
SPARK focuses on the Australian Curriculum’s general capabilities looking at critical and creative thinking, personal and social capability, ethical understanding and intercultural understanding.
How can I see my child’s learning?
The Junior School will hold a learning exhibition at the end of each semester, where all students will have something to exhibit based on their SPARK sessions.
This is that EXPO – our very first one at the college…
