School Commencement 2026
Wednesday 28 January 2026
All students are expected to commence on the first day of Term 1 for every year they are enrolled at Canterbury College.
If your family wishes to apply for an extended holiday at any time, you must seek approval from the relevant Head of Senior School OR Head of Junior School.
All students must commence by 1 February or the College will not hold your child’s place, due to our high demand for places and government funding rules.
We do not receive government funding for the whole year, if a student is not attending on campus by 1 February.
