More Information

Canterbury celebrates its 36th Anniversary Foundation Day, by reflecting on how far we’ve come, and looking forward to the ‘milestones and magic’ over the next 36 years, with Morning Chapel in the CEC.

Then Cursus Magnus will see eight teams of eight runners competing in our great annual relay race, cheered on by the Canterbury College community trackside:

  • A Years 5–12 Student Team from each of the six Houses.
  • Plus our Canterbury Alumni Past Students Team.
  • Plus our College Staff Team.

Each runner must complete two laps (800 metres) before passing the baton onto the next runner, until all eight runners have completed their laps, to find the overall winning team.

Best performing House WINS. Who will come out on top?
