IMPORTANT: Term 4 Week 1 Entrance E Closure & Major Campus Roadworks
IMPORTANT: Term 4 Week 1 Entrance E Closure & Major Campus Roadworks
Dear Parents, Carers, Students & Staff,
If you use Entrance E or park near the Trade Training Centre, PLEASE take the time to familiarise yourself with THIS CAMPUS ROADWORKS MAP.
Due to bad weather delays, the major roadworks happening around Entrance E, the Athletics Track, Sports Hall and Cricket Nets will not be completed until after the end of Week 1, Term 4.
MAJOR POINTS:
Entrance E will be CLOSED!!!
The previous EXIT ONLY gate between Entrances D and E will now operate BOTH WAYS as an ENTRY AND EXIT GATE.
The Trade Training Centre carpark can only be reached via this newly changed access point.
Entrance F at the top back corner of the campus, is now the ONLY entry and exit point for ALL Aquatic & Tennis Centre traffic, that will need to temporarily travel along the gravel road around the rear of the Athletics Track.
The Year 12 student carpark is now ONLY accessible via this same Entrance F and spaces will be limited during construction work.
All affected carparks are planned to have new directional arrow markings added this long weekend - weather permitting.
Please follow these arrows and any directions given by College staff manning the entrance and exit gates during the first week back at school.
There is also a clearly marked and fence protected pedestrian crossing through these major roadworks near the Squash Courts and Cricket Nets – please see the detailed map for the exact location.
Please help spread the word to reduce as much traffic and parking confusion as possible, when school resumes on Tuesday morning 5 October 2021, after the Monday Queen’s Birthday Public Holiday.
We appreciate your patience during these roadworks and suggest you arrive a little earlier than normal to Canterbury during Week 1 while everybody gets used to this temporary system.
Thank you!
REMINDER: Please keep our students, staff, groundskeepers and construction workers safe by obeying our strict 10KPH speed limit on school grounds at all times.
This week we experienced some major problems with parents speeding to and from our holiday camps, putting facilities staff at risk around their green maintenance shed.

Support 21 Laneway @ 2021 Battle Of The Rock Bands Competition
WHAT: 2021 Battle Of The Rock Bands Competition.
WHEN: 6:30pm – 10:30pm, Thursday 7 October 2021 (Night One).
First Week Back At School - Term 4.
Doors Open: 6:00pm | Show Starts: 6:30pm.
WHERE: Mary MacKillop Learning Centre - Hall 2.
Clairvaux MacKillop College, Klumpp Road, Upper Mount Gravatt.
WHICH ROCK BAND: Our very own 21 Laneway!
WHO: ALL Canterbury College Secondary School Students & Staff.
COST: $10 Per Ticket – 600 Pax Venue Capacity.
Tickets can be purchased via this weblink HERE.
OR use the QR Code in the supplied image.
FULL DETAILS: Our very own Canterbury Rock School Band 21 Laneway will be competing at the annual Battle Of The Rock Bands competition.
Aside from the amazing performances, there are prizes to be won, as well as a COVID-Safe dancing area.
Some of the prizes include vouchers for schools to spend on new music equipment, individual prizes for the best guitarist and best singer, and more…
There will be food trucks and a coffee van onsite, as well as drinks and other snacks for sale in our canteen.
It would be great to see our Canterbury community attending Night One of this competition, to really dominate the crowd and support 21 Laneway when they perform.
The event is designed to provide students with a full on ‘rock show’ experience - it is not your average school eisteddfod.
Bands can have a great time on stage while putting on a high-energy show, but a huge factor in this is having a high energy audience.
So we encourage students to bring along their friends to this great social event.
One of the big criteria the judges are assessing is stage presence and energy, so having a fun crowd will assist with bringing that energy!
Please Note: When booking tickets, everyone is allocated an assigned seat due to COVID rules.
However, subject to COVID conditions on the night, there should be a ‘dance floor / mosh pit’ type area open at the front near the stage, where patrons are welcome to visit during the show, instead of just staying in their seat all night.
At the moment, this is open to one person per 2m2, but this is subject to change as restrictions ease.
So please help us spread the word, then come support our very talented Rock Band in person!
Thank you and ROCK ON!!
