FOREWORD Achievement, innovation and excitement are three words that come to mind when describing 2013 and as always Canterbury College has been a hive of activity.
Dear Members of the Canterbury College Family, Our College has achieved well above the State Mean results in NAPLAN National Testing for Years 3, 5, 7 and 9. The Year 12 Results were a credit to our staff and students with 87 per cent of students achieving an OP 1 to 15 and many others undertaking an apprenticeship or further training. In January, I took part in our Staff Service Tour to Africa with 10 Canterbury staff and each of us had a profound experience. “Fighting Poverty Through Education� was written on every wall at the School of St Jude in Tanzania. We have supported this school in making a significant difference in the lives of the students who are gaining an education there.
The First XV Rugby Team had the opportunity in March to play in the curtain-raiser to the Reds versus Hurricanes Super Rugby game and this was a memorable experience for all. The team played with great spirit and enthusiasm. Our Trade Training Centre is now open for use and this is very exciting news for students with interests in Hospitality, Furnishing and Construction. The Industrial Training Facility features a furnishing workshop and construction courtyard, while the Hospitality Training Facility houses a commercial kitchen, restaurant and bar training area. These amenities will enable our students to develop their skills for professional and personal interest. The purpose-built centre provides a most valuable learning experience for our students. The event of the season was our College Musical, Godspell. It is with great pride that I congratulate the cast, crew and band on their professional performances. The lighting and visual effects were stunning and a first for a College production. A show such as this would not have been possible without the dedication and commitment of our Performing Arts staff and the many other staff and parents who contributed their time and efforts. We also acknowledge the kind contributions of our generous sponsors. Students, parents and staff enjoyed the biennial Canterbury Fair. There were rides, food, stalls and performances to keep the crowd entertained and a colourful fireworks display to end the event. The Parents and Friends Association members must be acknowledged and thanked for their hard work in organising the Fair and the support of staff and parents is also much appreciated. I thank everyone in the Canterbury College community for what has been a highly successful year and look forward to what 2014 will bring. Thank you for working in partnership with us. Mrs Donna Anderson Head of College

CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD ADDRESS Mr Jeff Thomas
Special guests, fellow Board members, Head of College Mrs Donna Anderson, Senior Leadership Team, staff, parents, students and members of the Canterbury College Family, On behalf of the Board of Canterbury College, I am honoured and privileged to welcome you to our 2013 Annual Excellence Awards Evening. This special venue transforms itself for these occasions and I look forward to not only the student performances this evening but also the special presentation by David Hobson and Rachael Beck, the musical leads of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, due to open in Brisbane at QPAC next week. Thank you to Dr Lewes Peddell for being instrumental in bringing this wonderful performance to fruition for our enjoyment this evening. The Board and the Head of College continue to work in partnership harmoniously and strategically for the fulfillment of their vision for this College so it will be a school of first choice notwithstanding the ever increasing competitive education marketplace and changing demographics. The Board is delighted that Canterbury College maintains its good reputation in Logan City and beyond due to the professionalism, integrity and inspirational educational leadership of our Head of College Mrs Donna Anderson. Such a reputation and brand integrity is hard earned and our Head of College has excelled yet again in demonstrating her passion for Canterbury College and its future. We all thank you, Mrs Anderson. The Board is also pleased that our students are educated by a team of highly committed, professional and inspirational staff who are dedicated to working with parents to provide each student with the best education possible underpinned by our Mission, Vision and Values. I thank all of our parents here tonight for entrusting your child’s education to Canterbury College. I hope that you will continue to invest in your child’s education here. As past parents, Mandy and I are certainly glad that we did. Our 2014 Budget has been finalised, despite uncertainty as to future government funding for non-government schools. I thank Jonathan

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
Waterworth, as the Chair of the Finance Audit and Risk Committee, and Paul Pickering, as Director of Business and Finance, for prudent, responsible financial planning to ensure that the College provides, and can continue to provide in the future, valued education programs and facilities for your investment in a Canterbury College education. I hope that the new charging regime announced last week will assist families in their annual budgeting in 2014. Our 2014 building program will commence during the vacation for the new Year 7 classrooms and a refurbishment of our Early Learning Centre Precinct Playground. These projects, worth almost $1 million, will be overseen by Bob Lang as Chair of the Building and Grounds Committee (our very own Bob the Builder) and Paul Pickering as Director of Business and Finance to ensure quality is delivered for good value. Our Vocational Education facilities were greatly enhanced this year with the completion of the outstanding $2 million Trade Training Centre. I encourage all parents to visit the centre on Open Days to see the extensive commercial kitchens and industrial equipment available for our students to experience. I feel sure that both Tim “the toolman” and Jamie Oliver would be suitably impressed by these state-of-the-art facilities. We invite you all to give patronage to the Canterbury College Trade Training Restaurant when it opens to the public. I congratulate the efforts of the 2013 P&F Executive Committee and their voluntary supporters for their endeavours this year to build community spirit, especially through the recent Canterbury Fair, and I wish the newly elected 2014 Executive Committee all the very best for their efforts in the forthcoming year. Please support them wholeheartedly as the P&F donations over our 26 years have contributed greatly to student facilities. I also congratulate the various supporter groups within the College which similarly build community spirit and fundraise for the special needs of their constituents in an ever increasing manner. I sincerely thank my fellow Directors Jonathan Waterworth, Bob Lang, Professor Joy Cumming, Rhonda Dore and Reverend Keren Terpstra for their continuing support, service and commitment to our College. We shall be forever indebted to them for their voluntary and valuable contributions of time and wisdom, and I also thank their partners and mine for their patience and understanding throughout the year. Good governance and risk management pursuant to our Board Charter are essential for our separately incorporated not-for-profit organisation, and also for all of our current and future stakeholders. Tonight is all about people. Tonight we shall witness and celebrate the talents, successes and excellent achievements of our students and staff. To all of our Year 12 students leaving this week, we trust that you will have enjoyed your Canterbury experience, and you will be proud to continue your links with the College and your life-long friends through the Canterbury Association of Past Students. Thank you.

COLLEGE CAPTAINS’ ADDRESS Eamon Kearns and Eleanor Hilston
(ELEANOR HILSTON)
(EAMON KEARNS)
Good evening Mr Thomas, Chairman of the Canterbury College Board of Directors, Mrs Anderson, Head of College, distinguished guests, parents, teachers and students of Canterbury College.
The sporting dimension of Canterbury College is strong and wide ranging. Over the years, we have relished the wide variety of individual and team activities which the Canterbury sporting program has offered. To participate in a sport you love, or alternatively to take up the opportunity to join one you have had little exposure to, are opportunities we as students have valued highly.
As Eamon and I near the culmination of 12 years, we fondly reflect upon our time at Canterbury College, our wonderful experiences, the many opportunities we have enjoyed and the multitude of friends we have made. Although sometimes challenging, our daily school routine has been something we all valued and shared in over the years. Knowing the Canterbury routine gave us a sense of security in knowing what to expect each day and so empowered us in one small way to meet the many challenges of school. We feel that the Canterbury experience has assisted us in developing our attitudes, beliefs and values - foundations laid at home and at school. For many of us, our time at Canterbury began in Year 7 or 8. For others it commenced in Prep. Eamon and I joined the Canterbury community in Middle School; a time of transition between childhood and young adulthood. No longer children, we were faced with more responsibilities than ever before, accompanied by the rapid social change which comes with becoming a teenager. Eamon and I came from a small primary school in Beaudesert - St Mary’s. As new students we were immediately drawn into the inclusive community which is Canterbury. Our peers and teachers helped us to find our own niches, and form friendships which still last today and which will carry on into the future. The final phase of our schooling journey has been our Senior years. These have been the most academically challenging but, most would agree, they also have been the most rewarding. In our Senior years, the bonds between all of the Year 12 students, as well as those with our teachers, grew infinitely stronger.
Similarly, to carry on an interest in the artistic, choral, dramatic or instrumental areas of the Arts Program is key evidence of a student’s commitment to our school. As in sport, not all of us came to Canterbury with a pre-existing disposition to play or perform. Many of us saw the program in the Arts Academy, envied its breadth of opportunity, and then took the leap of faith into another set of rewarding experiences. Truly, our extracurricular program at Canterbury is one of great scope and obvious excellence. Canterbury College has also offered many of us significant opportunities to give service to others, as a means of contributing to the wider community. Over recent years many students, through our service program, have travelled abroad and offered tangible assistance to needy communities in Vietnam, Cambodia, Nepal, Peru, Tanzania and Thailand. At Canterbury we have a rich and diverse community with students from a wide range of cultures covering Africa, Asia, The Americas, Europe, the Mediterranean, the wider Pacific Region and the United Kingdom. This diversity reflects our Canterbury inclusivity and strengthens our Australian culture. The Year 12’s began fundraising earlier this year for a gift that could benefit the College and make some contribution to school life for the oncoming students. Through our now famous Open Day Car Washes and other events, we have financed the purchase and installation of two water-chilling mechanisms on campus. One is located in Middle School and the other in the shared Middle and Senior School campus, to help students during those hot summer days.
As is the case with previous Year 12 groups, the 2013 cohort felt the added dimension of being the leaders of the school and so had a responsibility which we had never before fully experienced. From an academic perspective, the responsibility of carrying on the tradition where each of us strives for our own level of academic excellence has been very evident. We felt we could contribute both individually in our subjects, and as a strong and motivated team for the collective good as is required in the Queensland Core Skills Test held each September.
On behalf of all of the students here tonight, I would like to express our appreciation to our parents. Your decision to enrol us at Canterbury because of its Christian Values and approach to developing the individual is appreciated and has a life-long impact. You have been so actively involved in our education, and been there for us and for our friends. Without your support this year, we could not have achieved the success which each of us enjoyed. For driving us to events such as TAS Saturday sport, collecting us after we have stayed back after school for tutorials, attending our performances, participating in supporter groups and generally making sure we enjoyed and took advantage of the great opportunities here at school, we thank you.
At Canterbury the Senior students have a real role to play in guiding the younger students and instilling in them the same pride we feel for our school, be it as an ambassador in the classroom, on the sporting field, in a performance group or in the playground.
Eleanor and I would also like to acknowledge our Head of College Mrs Anderson, and all the staff at Canterbury College. We thank each and every one of you, be you a teacher, key staff in the office, a member of the facilities team or member of the Senior Leadership Team.
On behalf of the student body, Eamon and I highly value the countless opportunities the College and our parents have offered us to succeed in whichever field we choose.
As a token of our appreciation, I now invite Mrs Anderson to accept our gift to the College and these flowers on behalf of the Canterbury College community.

HEAD OF COLLEGE ADDRESS
The Annual Excellence Awards is the most important event of our College calendar. It is the occasion when the school year is presented to the assembled College community. This is a time when we recognise the work and achievements of our students.
Mrs Donna Anderson
An historian should be able to review our Awards evening and gain a comprehensive view of what Canterbury College has achieved throughout 2013.
Distinguished guests, Mrs Desley Scott MP State Member for Woodridge, Mr Mike Latter MP State Member for Waterford, Councillor Don Peterson Division 4 Logan City Council, Dr Chris Harnden, Senior Lecturer, Primary Healthcare, School of Medicine, Griffith University Gold Coast, Professor Michael Weir, Associate Dean (Research), Faculty of Law Bond University, Dr David Thorpe, Senior Lecturer, Engineering and Technology Management, University of Southern Queensland, Springfield Campus, Mr Jeff Thomas, Chairman of the Canterbury College Board of Directors and Mrs Mandy Thomas, Board members, Mr Greg Anderson, staff, students, parents and past students.
Hence we ask the question - what is the legacy our staff and students will leave for this year? What a successful year it has been with everyone working individually and together to achieve such positive outcomes. We are extremely proud and wish our sincerest congratulations to all those receiving prizes and to those who have done their best. Canterbury College has had many notable achievements throughout 2013. We are recognised for our academic reputation and the nurturing of our students. The NAPLAN Results were at and above the National and State mean and 99 per cent of our eligible Year 12’s received a tertiary offer. In the important role of Chaplain, Reverend Elroy Mee quietly but determinedly embeds the Anglican Ethos in our College. We thank her most sincerely for her work as a priest, colleague and friend. The Ethos and Values drive our campus culture as does the curriculum and quality of the teaching. We were a Lighthouse School in Queensland for Staff Wellbeing projects. Earlier this year our students, under the guidance of our teachers, engaged in a tour of Thailand with a humanitarian focus to assist a small remote village in the mountains. In January, our staff visited Tanzania to assist at the School of St Jude. Mrs Hamilton, Director of Mission and Community, tells me this is admired greatly by other schools – 10 staff travelled together with a common purpose and this became the driving force. Students gained entry to apprenticeships and traineeships, experienced Sporting, Debating and Public Speaking successes and cultural achievements in Music, Choral, Art, Dance and Drama. Indeed students have been outstanding in their academic results especially in the foreign languages.

We have continued our building program with our Trade Training Centre being completed as well as the Car Park Extension. We were successful in our grant application of $500,000 for two new Year 7 classrooms. Our new Kindergarten playground will be a progressive area for the development of the sensory motor and perceptual motor skills of our youngest students. Many schools miss this extra emphasis on sensory motor development. We pay tribute to our student leaders who lead our College with enthusiasm, especially to our Captains Eleanor and Eamon. We say thank you to the teachers and staff who guide your children each day. Special thanks to Mrs Ann Jones, my Personal Assistant. Our office is constantly abuzz with energy and efficiency and there is always loyalty to assist me in making things happen. I also thank the Senior Leadership Team Mrs Jenny George, Mr Damien Coleman, Mr Tony Nutt and Mr Paul Pickering for their wisdom, enthusiasm and support. We acknowledge those staff who have given 10 and 15 Years of Service to this College. They have had a continuous belief in the quality of education that is delivered here and strive constantly to make it better for our students. We thank our parents who have served on committees and support groups. Our Board of Directors under the Chairmanship of Mr Jeff Thomas assists in ensuring the strategic direction of Canterbury College is implemented in accordance with the Mission and Vision. Mr Thomas always offers support, care and uplifting and reassuring advice when issues arise. I thank him personally together with our other dedicated Board members. We grow from strength to strength under a united focus. The Parents and Friends Association rallied with a smoothly run Fair in October and this brought our College family and the wider community together. A very special thank you to Mrs Beth Pope, President, and the other Committee members.
Our plans for 2014 include the following: yy We will continue our involvement with Independent Schools Queensland. yy They have chosen Canterbury College as one of 10 independent schools for their case study and evaluation on our implementation of the Pilot Project of the National Plan for School Improvement. Another initiative is the movement toward a Bring Your Own Device program in the field of technology. We are aware of equity issues that surround this and need to have our students skilled to do NAPLAN online in 2016. We have also designed a new position to drive Staff Performance and Development. We will develop further the Framework for Teacher Professional Standards. At Canterbury College we are continuously aware of our motto The Better Prepared, The Stronger. Our students are well prepared and constantly lift the bar a little higher. We deliver a quality independent school education not matched in the vicinity of Logan or surrounding areas. We compete with many schools and are positioned well above many others. This is not without hard work from our Board members, teachers, staff, students and parents. We are an inclusive community as stated in our Mission Statement. We need to prepare our students for a global economy where the keypad connects us with the world. We are not a stand-alone school in Waterford; we are on the main stage and our students need to be key players on it. We need to push their boundaries, indeed all our boundaries, to give them the opportunity for development, learning and growth. It is evident you want these by sending your children to Canterbury College. We are partners on the journey. We will never know what is possible if we do not try. We have been better prepared and stronger in 2013.
Today, education is delivered in a competitive environment and parents are discerning shoppers. They look for value for money in their children’s education. We at Canterbury College are very aware of the necessity to better our competitors and we know we have the Canterbury Difference. We educate the mind and the character in partnership with you, the parents.

CHAPLAIN’S REPORT Reverend Elroy Mee College Chaplain
The spiritual life of Canterbury College is always a mixture of joy, energy, compassion and reflection. In February, we marked the beginning of Lent with a beautifully quiet, reflective Chapel for the whole College, and many of our students chose to join me in giving up something meaningful for Lent. I gave up cake – not so easy given my sweet tooth. One student told me she had given up using the internet in the evenings, and she was really enjoying spending more time with her family. Another student decided to give up complaining at home – with very pleasing results. That tends to be the way God works; we give something up, and unexpected blessings come our way.
34
CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
Throughout Term 1, we journeyed with Jesus to Jerusalem in our daily Bible readings and prayers, and in our Easter Chapel we reflected on His suffering and death on that first Good Friday with sorrow and gratitude, before celebrating the joy of Easter with songs and by giving chocolate Easter Bunnies and Easter Eggs to Bethania Aged Care, TRACC Logan and InSYNC at Beenleigh, so they could give them to the people in their care. Our generous families not only provided hundreds of eggs, rabbits, chickens, bilbies and other delicious chocolates to bring joy to many, many people, they also donated a total of $1000 to the Archbishop’s Flood Appeal and the Bush Ministry Fund. Another important Chapel in February was the TAS Ecumenical Service that was hosted by Redeemer Lutheran College. This is always a lovely event, marking the beginning of the TAS competition for the year with gratitude to God for the gift of sport, the fun of competition and our wonderful schools. In March, we held our annual Foundation Day Chapel for our families to come and give thanks for the founders of our College, the vision they had for an Anglican College of excellence, and for the staff and students who have worked so hard over 26 years to create the outstanding place of learning we have today. As usual, we focussed on the College value for the year – in 2013 this was “Social and Environmental Responsibility”. We discovered that there is much in the Bible about both of these things, and that Dr Seuss knew a thing or two about them too, which can be seen in his story of The Lorax. In Term 2, we started our Retreat program for the year. We enjoyed the best weather, great barbecues, solemn Chapels, the beautiful grounds at Brookfield, bush dancing, games, discussions, and creative responses. Our Year 10’s, for example, explored the issue of friendship: How to make and keep friends, how to choose friends wisely, how to identify a toxic friendship and how to end a friendship safely. The impact of social media on friendships was also considered, and all of these things were discussed in light of Proverbs 17.17, “A friend loves at all times.” And Jesus’ words in John 15.13, “Greater love has no one than this: that he lay down his life for his friends.” This is exactly what Jesus did for us.
DE PA RT M E NT RE P ORTS
We finished the Semester with a great Chapel of praise based on Psalms 94 and 150. We sang a new song to the Lord, and we certainly made a joyful noise with the trumpet, the strings, the cymbals and the drums. However, just as we celebrated together, so we also grieved together when we learnt that little Declan Hegarty had lost his battle with cancer during the holidays. Declan taught us many things about bravery, resilience, faith and the importance of living each day to the full. Our hearts and prayers went out to his family, and many members of our staff and the wider College community joined them at his funeral to give thanks for him and for the way he lived his life. Early in Term 3, I had the pleasure of accompanying four Year 11 students to the Anglican Schools Students’ Network Conference at Alex Park. Students from 14 Anglican schools, together with their Chaplains, came together to celebrate their shared faith in Jesus Christ. The hope was that this would assure them that they were not alone in their Christian journey, and therefore they would accept the challenge of the conference theme to “Be The Change” in their own schools. Excellent speakers, great music, time to have fun on the beach, and a very loud disco all contributed to a wonderful experience for both students and staff. Participation in a refugee camp role play added an extra dimension to the experience, as it opened our eyes to some of the things that refugees have to face and adapt to in these long-term camps. I was the Camp Doctor distributing smarties (pills) and snakes (antibiotics) to sick people if they obeyed the camp protocols. This gave me a glimpse of the political, powerful, exacting, stressful, soul-destroying and, at times, dangerous nature of that role. The next exciting event was our annual Confirmation Service with Bishop Alison Taylor in September. Our Chapel of the Good Shepherd was packed with families and friends of the students who were being Baptised, Admitted to Communion or Confirmed. It was lovely to have Bishop Alison with us on such a warm, happy, memorable occasion. In addition to our Year Level Chapels, there were three Retreats in Semester
2. The focus for Year 11 students was on the sort of man or woman they might choose to become, their ability to realise their vision, and the link between their beliefs, thoughts, words and actions. As St Paul says in Galatians 6:7, “You reap what you sow.” The focus for Year 12 students was on the mixture of excitement and fear they may have been feeling as they prepared to leave school. Being free from the constraints of school is certainly exciting, but facing the unknown without its familiar routines and security can be rather daunting. Our Year 8 students had a lot of fun exploring the wonderful minds God has given them, the link between the heart and the mind in Scripture, and the importance of the GIGO principle. They were challenged by St Paul’s words in Philippians 4:8 that we should fill our minds with whatever is true, noble, pure, admirable, excellent or praiseworthy, which is not an easy task. The biggest thrill was our Blessing of the Pets Chapel at the end of Term 3. Students emailed photographs of themselves with their pets, to be shown on the screens before the service. People from Little Paws joined us with their beautiful cats. Staff, including our Head of College Mrs Anderson, brought their beloved pets onto the stage so all could see them, and shared with us how much their beloved pets mean to them. As a College, we reached out our hands in prayer, asking God to bless our pets with good health, long lives, and the knowledge of how much they are loved. As always in Term 4, there were many wonderful occasions: from the solemnity of the Year 12 Valedictory Eucharist to the merry mayhem of the Carols at Canterbury evening, and from the moving Year 6 Celebration to the excitement of the End of Year Christmas Chapel when we handed over our huge collection of stamps, Christmas food and gifts to representatives from Anglicare, TRACC Logan, InSYNC Beenleigh and St Mark’s Daisy Hill. At every event and at all times throughout the year we gave our heartfelt thanks to God for His graciousness towards us.

CAREERS EDUCATION REPORT Mrs Colette Naicker Careers Counsellor
Career development is a complex process of managing life, learning and work over the lifespan of an individual. This development is complex and unique with each individual bringing a unique set of skills, values, interests and experiences to the process of designing and managing their career.
C A N T E R B U RY C O L L E GE

Students now need a more comprehensive set of competencies which could include learning skills, life management skills and communication skills that are not occupation specific but are transferable across all facets of life and work. These are being described as “meta-competencies” which will enable individuals to transition repeatedly between learning, work and other life roles in order to create a life balance for themselves that is satisfying and productive.
In 2013, three students were awarded scholarships to study at Bond University. One student was awarded an Indigenous Pathways Scholarship, valued at 100 per cent of the tuition fees for her Bachelor of Laws degree. Two other students were both awarded with Collegiate Leadership Scholarships valued at 50 per cent of the tuition fees towards a single or double degree. These were outstanding achievements.
Canterbury College is committed to providing students with the best chance of leading independent lives by offering them a comprehensive, holistic career development program. This will enable them to reach their unique career potential. It incorporates learning pathways plans, career education, Vocational Education and Training (VET), work experience, career information, guidance and counselling, exit planning and continuous follow-up and support.
YEAR 11 AND 12 Students map out their career pathways in terms of study and extracurricular activities. During these years students gain the knowledge and skills to become independent learners, ready to embark on careers beyond the school environment. Canterbury provides support by: yy Conducting regular interviews to help students set and attain realistic goals yy Organising information sessions by presenters from universities, employers and other organisations yy Monitoring and supporting students following VET pathways yy Providing career advice to students with regard to subjects and results yy Assisting Year 12 students with applications to tertiary institutions and applications for Early Admission programs, Scholarships and pathways to tertiary study yy Encouraging and enabling attendance at University Experience and Open Days. Students are provided individual consultation time to monitor their progress and discuss their future study and/or career plans. Students are supported in their preferences provided to the Queensland Tertiary Admissions Centre (QTAC) and other institutions. Regular meetings occur with students, parents and tertiary providers to obtain the best opportunities for students. Students in Year 12 are provided with the current information for applications to QTAC, and parents and students have an opportunity to hear from a representative from QTAC at an evening presentation.

Chelsea Currie (Year 12) was awarded an Indigenous Pathways Scholarship from Bond University.
Griffith Connect Admissions Partnership Scheme Canterbury College is a Griffith Connect Partner School and at the end of 2013 many students participated in the Griffith Connect Guaranteed Admission Scheme. Students needed to meet the criteria set out by Griffith University with regards to their academic results in Year 11 and Semester 1 of Year 12. Eight students were granted guaranteed admission to Griffith University for undergraduate study in Business, Laws, Government and International Relations, Biomedical Science, Education, Arts in Contemporary and Applied Theatre, and Human Services. Two students participated in the Griffith Engineering program and after successful completion of a Semester of study were also granted guaranteed admission into Griffith University to study Engineering. One student was awarded the Griffith Connect Academic Excellence Bursary to assist with her studies in the first year. Seven students participated in the GriffithBUSINESS School Outreach program and chose to study from the Business Management and Commerce strands. Successful completion of this course allowed students to gain guaranteed admission into a Business strand of study at Griffith University. Three students took up this opportunity.
PARTNERSHIP SCHEMES
One student received the Griffith University Business Transition Award which had a monetary benefit for the first year of study.
Bond University
TERTIARY STUDY WHILE AT SCHOOL
Bond University has established a Collegiate Partnership program with a group of 115 of Australia’s leading secondary schools, including Canterbury College. The program provides support to partner schools, with educational activities for staff and students, and offers a range of scholarships for Year 12 students. The applications follow a challenging process with stringent criteria.
This was a successful year with many students undertaking university courses while in Year 12.

Traineeships and Apprenticeships
WORK EXPERIENCE
Vocational Education and Training at Canterbury College is a popular option as more students recognise the value of a vocational pathway to their future outcome. During 2012 and 2013 there were 43 students who had signed up for a Traineeship or Apprenticeship in Year 11 and 12. Many students went out on one or two days per week to gain experience in a particular industry and to complete their formal training with Registered Training Organisations.
During the year many students went out on Work Experience in areas that they were interested in. These included the following:
Traineeships and Apprenticeships included Certificate II in Beauty, Pharmacy, Retail, Engineering and Animal Studies. The Certificate III’s included Children’s Services, Hairdressing, Business, Information Technology, Engineering Fabrication, Live Production, Theatre and Events (technical operations), Sport and Recreation Officer, Hospitality Operations Level III and Community Services. The students in Year 12 have successfully completed the Traineeships and many of them are using this as a benchmark to gain a ranking to enter into tertiary study. Some of the students have secured full-time employment from these traineeships.
Australian Vocational Student Prize Nomination At the end of 2012, students were nominated for the Australian Vocational Student Prize. This is for students who demonstrate exceptional skill, commitment and achievement while undertaking a VET in Schools program or Australian School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship as part of their Senior secondary studies. This is an opportunity to showcase and celebrate the achievements of these students and the support provided by the whole College community. Two students were awarded the Australian Vocational Student Prize and received a cheque of $2000 each in 2013. Henrietta Mwitenawe was a refugee who gained permanent residency in Australia. Her knowledge of the English language was limited. With great support, Henrietta completed Year 12 with a Certificate III in Aged Care. She has now commenced her Diploma of Nursing at Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE and hopes to continue her studies at Griffith University to obtain her Bachelor of Nursing. Jacob Wilson is currently completing an apprenticeship in Plastering. He has been nominated as an outstanding apprentice and is excited about his future in the industry.

Year 10 In 2013, Canterbury College again committed to providing an opportunity for all students in Year 10 to enjoy a week of work experience of their choice. Based on the notion of students becoming independent lifelong learners, students were guided through a process of deciding on their choice of work experience and obtaining their own placement. Canterbury College provided support throughout the process and was committed to ensuring that all the necessary correspondence and contracting requirements were fulfilled. Students committed themselves to the week of work that they had enlisted in and learnt from the experience. Many students used this work experience to influence their school subject preferences. They were either satisfied with the industry of their choice or knew that they were going to need to explore other avenues in the future. Employers recognised the attitude and work ethic of the students and some employers offered the students casual work. Progression from Year 10 to Year 11 is often complex. There is an increased expectation that students accept greater responsibility for their learning and make significant decisions about their future. Career Education in Year 10 is therefore vitally important. Canterbury’s Career Education program for Year 10 included: yy Work Experience yy Exploring different careers and matching one’s own skills to a range of jobs, using online resources and the Job Guide yy Interviews with students and parents about developing a Senior Education and Training Plan (SET Plan). A student’s SET Plan may change over time – it is always a “work in progress” document. It includes subjects and pathways selected for study over Years 11 and 12 – this could be fulltime study at school, or include work and study as part of a VET pathway yy Students have enrolled into courses at Southbank Institute of Technology, Metropolitan South Institute of TAFE, SkillsTech and other private colleges to expand their career choices.
The Logan Youth Jobs and Careers Expo
Other Courses Undertaken in 2013
All students in Year 10 attended The Logan Youth Jobs and Careers Expo which was held at The Logan Metro Sports Centre in Crestmead. Students attended workshops on topics such as resume writing, interview techniques, employment relationships, structured training programs, employer expectations, budgeting, career planning and many industries including manufacturing, automotive, construction, retail, tourism, food production and transport and logistics careers. This was a productive excursion where the students gathered information from universities, TAFES, industry representatives and employment agencies.
Many students undertook courses at TAFE, Southbank Institute of Technology, SkillsTech and private colleges to obtain certificates in Information Technology, Fashion Design, Business, Justice Studies, Events Management, Music, Animal Studies, Graphic Design, Building Design and Technology, Landscaping, Design Fundamentals - Photoimaging, Engineering, Retail, Electrotechnology (Career Start) and Construction.
Career Education involves the development of knowledge, skills and attitudes through a planned program of learning experiences that allows students to make informed decisions about study and/or work options. The ability to manage one’s career continues over a person’s lifespan, and Canterbury aims to ensure that all students have a secure start to their career journey.

I cannot believe that I am writing my eighth Yearbook report. It seems like only yesterday that I wrote my first one in 2006.
regarding best behaviour management processes and techniques were passed on to staff. An introduction to mental health issues for children and young people was also given in workshops for all staff. The Peer Mediation and Buddy Building team continued into 2013 and
Eight years on and the 2013 school year was yet again incredible, filled with challenges, excitement, frenzy, sorrow and stimulation. Like most professional helping agencies and schools (where counselling is offered), most of my time was spent working with and supporting students across the College who experienced social, emotional, psychological and behavioural issues and difficulties. In a more proactive manner, I have continued to support Mr Anthony Hillier in the College’s Wellbeing program and had an article published in the Independent Schools Queensland Catalyst magazine (Autumn 2013). As part of the Wellbeing program, the Kindness Card system continued to run, where one staff member thanks and sends a wish of kindness to another person. This was again successfully used in the College, with many staff being nominated. This is one of the many ways Canterbury expresses the very important value of gratitude between its family members. The team of Mr Alan Lyle, Mr Damien Coleman and myself provided whole-year-level supports including running the “What’s your brand?” workshops on our successful Boy/Girl Day, and with Mr Ray Sauer in our Year 7 friendship-building classes. Skilling sessions were shared with the help of Mrs Jenny George and Mrs Paula Deighton and our brilliant Year 4 teachers when we ran the Year 4 social skilling classes as a three-part workshop series. We continued to train all Canterbury staff members in the fundamentally important field of child protection. Knowledge and information
two new members were added to the buddying service. We congratulate the members of the newly named Canterbury College Peer Buddying Network for all the work and support they offered our Junior students, making them feel safe and happy. A special congratulations goes to David Kindness, Harry Wells, Jackson Lyle, Chelsea Wells-Dunn, Victoria Munro and our two newcomers Talitha Glazbrook and Zoe Agerbeek. The College successfully attained membership into the Better Buddies program run through the Alannah and Madeline Foundation. According to their website, “Better Buddies helps students entering their first year of primary school to feel safe, valued and connected to the school community. The school pairs new primary school students with an older buddy”. Mrs Jenny George and Mrs Paula Deighton supported this initiative and will assist with implementing the program fully in 2014. This is very exciting and I cannot wait to see our Prep students when the 50 purple buddy bears arrive. Canterbury College is very lucky to have talented, incredibly dedicated and continuously hard-working staff. There are so many colleagues who deserve thanks, credit and acclaim. I am so very thankful to all Canterbury staff for continuing to allow me to help, share and support. I look forward to being a part of this ever growing family community in 2014.

JUNIOR LIBRARY REPORT Mrs Megan Stuart Teacher Librarian
From makeovers to MasterChef, we reflect on a memorable and momentous 2013 for the Junior School Library and our students. Early in the year, the Resource Centre benefited from a revamp which included bright new chairs, a reorganisation and lovely new graphic signage both inside and outside. The 3D words installed on our back wall remind us that our centre is a place where students “create”, “explore”, “imagine” and “discuss”. These activities were also fostered through the many events we hosted throughout the year. The sweet smell of sugar floated through campus as spectacular cakes were baked during our biggest ever MasterChef competition. Students expressed some wonderful creativity in the kitchen and our community came together to eat cake and raise over $300 for the Archbishop’s Flood Appeal. The Library also enjoyed its annual Book Fair and sausage sizzle, Book Week Parade, the Premier’s Reading Challenge and our very first Read Aloud Competition (which was won by Charlie Deane, Briana Dinsdale, Summer Oh and Lia Russell). The 2013 Book Fair raised a record sum of over $11,000 which will allow for the purchase of new books throughout the year. Our current collection is enviable. Some of the most popular authors include Geronimo Stilton, Dav Pilkey, Andy Griffiths, Morris
Gleitzman, Emily Rodda, Lincoln Peirce, James Moloney and Phil Kettle. Our students’ reading and writing was encouraged from a slew of visiting children’s authors, most notably Kerry Brown, Phil Kettle and James Moloney. All authors were engaging and passionate, and we noticed a spike in borrowing after each visit. In addition to our events, wonderful displays graced our centre including Science, Year 5 Australian Notables and impressive art work from many talented year levels. We introduced eBook borrowing this year and were delighted at how many students took advantage of these cutting-edge resources. We are proud to be one of only a few schools in Australia that offer electronic borrowing. We note that hard copy resources are still generally preferred but look forward to witnessing the shift in how children access information and resources. Each week we rewarded regular and reliable student borrowers. We were impressed every day with the politeness of our patrons. We had many students using the Library during breaks, in particular the afternoon break designed for silent reading. We took great pleasure in watching our students enjoy a good book in a comfortable chair. We thank our 2013 library captains Natalie Elton, Hamish Kabel-Pluck, Laura Mooney, Jackson Ramsay-Heathcote, Rianna Rizk and GeorgiaLeigh Tyson and wish them well as they move to the Middle School. We also thank the parents who generously assisted at our Book Fair and throughout the year. 2013 was a year in which the Library saw our lovely students inquire, learn, play and grow through reading and writing. We look forward to welcoming our old students as well as our new students into the Resource Centre in 2014.

MIDDLE AND SENIOR LIBRARY REPORT Ms Debbie Berger Teacher Librarian
2013 was another busy year in the Middle/ Senior Library. We were lucky enough to gain approval for new lounge chairs in our Reading Lounge, along with a flat screen television which has created a vibrant Media Zone that has been very popular with students. The new colourful lounges have become a popular place for students to meet each break, and the entire seating lounge area is often full. We have also updated some of the furniture in the learning spaces which has enabled flexibility in the layout. This has enhanced teaching and learning opportunities for our College community. Installation of the television that screens news or documentaries before and after school, as well as during lunch breaks, has provided students with the opportunity to connect with the world outside of the school gates. In particular, the number of students who ask to watch the news channel before school each day has been pleasantly surprising. The Library staff worked hard over the June/July holidays to convert the non-fiction shelving into front-facing, display shelving. This has improved the circulation of the non-fiction books and also greatly improved the visual aspect of this collection.

Brisbane South Competition under the guidance of Mrs Megan Stuart. Monique Wisnewski, Nicola Cain, Kameka Claffey, Hannah McNamara, Aaliya Khan and Angel Zou participated from Year 7. The team placed 12th out of 34 teams. Everyone had a great day and there are already plans for these girls to try out for next year’s team. Alice Garner, Chelsea O’Connor, Alaina Warwick, Heilyn Bonquin and Georgia Lovelock made up our very capable Year 8/9 Team. We placed a respectable Fifth out of 13 teams. The girls had a great time and also cannot wait for the next competition. Our fiction collection continues to be very popular with students across the Middle and Senior Schools. In keeping with the tradition of publishing our most popular books, the top 10 most borrowed books for 2013 were: 1. The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins 2. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Dog Days by Jeff Kinney 3. January by Gabrielle Lord 4. The Declaration by Gemma Malley 5. Diary of a Wimpy Kid: The Last Straw by Jeff Kinney 6. Ishmael and the Return of the Dugongs by Michael Gerard Bauer 7. Catching Fire by Suzanne Collins 8. I Am Number Four by Pittacus Lore 9. Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins 10. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
Our eBook collection was launched in early 2013 with almost 200 titles available to borrow via students’ own electronic devices. This collection has had a small but loyal following and it is hoped that it will become more popular as students realise how easy it is to access.
As always, the Library has been a pleasant and inviting place for our students thanks to our staff Mrs Stephanie Fitzgerald, Mrs Donna Clark and Mrs Clare Burford.
As we do each year, the Middle School entered teams into the Readers Cup competition. These teams are always made up of enthusiastic and committed readers. This year, I mentored our Year 8/9 team who competed in the Gold Coast competition, and our Year 7 team competed in the
All in all, the Library has become an increasingly popular place to spend breaks and has had a real buzz surrounding it with the new improvements that have been implemented in 2013. We are all looking forward to an exciting 2014 in the learning hub of the school.

CURRICULUM REPORTS

DANCE REPORT Ms Amanda Waddell Curriculum Coordinator Dance (K-Year12)
Dance is a unique way for students to blend intellectual and emotional experience, in order to define their identity in the context of their immediate surroundings and broader society. Like all of the Arts, Dance has a profound effect on the academic success of students. The study of Dance teaches us responsibility, concentration, cooperation and discipline. It also develops self-control and selfconfidence. Through the study of movement from a wide variety of genres and eras, students develop empathy for past periods in time, which in turn develops their emotional maturity and understanding of the world in which they live today. At Canterbury College, the Dance program is growing and each year more opportunities are available for students. Many of the Dance students were able to experience such initiatives as QUT Dance Immersion Day, Expressions Dance Intensive, performing with the lead cast from Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, and various performances and auditions throughout the year.
YEAR 9 DANCE Two major highlights in 2013 for the Year 9 Dance class were their two performance pieces Nicest Kids and River Flows in You, choreographed by Mr Iain Hogg. The students were given several opportunities to perform both pieces at Subject Selection Evening, Dance Night and the Year 9 Graduation.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
YEAR 10 DANCE The Year 10 Dance students were challenged by their choreographic and appreciation tasks in Semester 1. They were asked to choreograph their own film clips based on selected themes they were inspired by. Love, Self Image, Friendship and Bullying were amongst the topics explored. With a very male-dominated class this year, Ms Waddell’s class worked on performance tasks which reflected the interest of the cohort. Video game culture was explored and the culmination of the Term was the piece Call of Duty. This contemporary piece looked at the game’s movements, its characters and the idea of teamwork. The boys and girls thoroughly enjoyed the work whilst also immersing themselves in a bit of culture. In Semester 2, students were asked to respond to the question, “Why study Dance?”. Answers included: “Dance helps us understand the meaning of letting go”, “To have fun”, “To get fit”, “To get active”, and “To meet new people”. Dance helps to build strong connections with other people and create new friendships, and it also allows you to express your feelings. Dance Night was the forum for these answers and students transformed the Dance room into a kaleidoscope of images and presentations. Their responses where heartfelt and passionate and undoubtedly showed that the dancers at Canterbury are certainly enthusiastic supporters of their craft.

YEAR 11 DANCE A popular routine starring the Year 11 Dance class was the uptempo Do Your Thing. The group performed during Term 2 at the College Spirit Assembly as part of their assessment. Each year, the Year 11 Dance class is invited to perform at the College’s Annual Excellence Awards evening which highlights the outstanding achievements of the year. The students combined with the College’s Dance Company to present the heartbreaking Hide and Seek. During Term 3 the students also choreographed their own individual contemporary pieces, with many receiving outstanding results for their creative ideas. In particular, Indira Shields deserves mention for her innovative use of lighting and Emylie Witney for her tribute to her father which brought the audience to tears. This Year 11 Dance class should be congratulated on their determination, collaborative work and drive to succeed through 2013, when they were pushed to reach new limits.
DANCE NIGHT
YEAR 12 DANCE Over the year, the students participated in Musical Theatre and Contemporary workshops, which culminated in their Legally Blonde tribute Whipped into Shape and the in-depth look into social media with Generation Why?. This contemporary piece was a collaborative effort between the Year 12’s and Ms Waddell as an exploration of social media and the connections we make online. A very big thank you to the Year 12 dancers, who have been reliable, motivated, energetic and entertaining. Their enthusiasm and focus is to be congratulated and was clearly seen at Dance Night.
The entire Dance program finishes the year with a bitter but sweet ending. The College’s annual Dance Night celebrates Dance at Canterbury but also farewells the departing Year 12’s. Dance Night each year has grown with the increase of students enrolled in the subject and the growth of the Extracurricular Dance program. In 2013, Dance Night improved its numbers on stage with the introduction of the Junior Steppers, delighting the audience with their three performances. Dance Night is also the final assessment for every Dance student and a chance for parents to see their son or daughter shine. The dances performed on the night were created by students and teachers, some for assessment purposes and some for competitions and performances. Students presented a variety of Dance genres, from Musical Theatre and Jazz to Contemporary, Cultural Dance and Hip Hop. It was truly inspirational to watch almost 100 Dance students take to the stage in the Finale Let’s Get Ridiculous. Martha Graham, a Contemporary Dance choreographer, once said, “Great dancers are not great because of their technique; they are great because of their passion.” Dance Night showcased the enormity of passion that our dancers have for this wonderful art form. The evening could not have run so smoothly without the support of the Dance Supporters Group and the dedicated teachers and staff who wonderfully offered up their time.

DRAMA REPORT
YEAR 11 DRAMA
Mr Matthew Kopelke Curriculum Coordinator Drama (K-Year 12)
The students of Year 11 Drama relished the opportunities given in the Senior Drama program to further enhance their skills and understanding of what is possible within this art form. Whether writing a Contemporary Australian Drama script or performing a slice of classic British situation comedy, this particular cohort proved themselves to be a group to watch in 2014 as they complete their Senior Drama studies.
2013 for Drama was an extremely busy yet successful year, from Theatresports to the culmination of some major performances. JUNIOR SCHOOL DRAMA Our Junior School Drama program continues to go from strength to strength, with students right across the Junior School having a chance to take part in structured weekly Drama lessons designed to ignite their creativity and passion for performance. From student-devised Forum Theatre pieces in Year 6 and Carnivale items in Year 5, through to Collage Drama in Year 4, Junior School Drama continues to thrive. This is thanks in no small part to the immense level of energy present in the Junior School for Drama. We certainly have some amazing up-and-coming performers.
YEAR 9 DRAMA The Year 9 Drama cohort of 2013 certainly took advantage of the various opportunities presented to them over the course of the year, with this particular group creating a variety of entertaining pieces of performance. Whether it was movement pieces set to music or forming their own teams in a class-based Theatresports competition, Semester 1 saw them begin the process of developing their skills as young performers. Semester 2 saw them take these new-found skills out of the classroom, with public performances of their Street Theatre creations at this year’s Canterbury Fair generating entertainment for those passing by their stalls. The end of the year saw the students perform their Children’s Theatre creations, with the audience enjoying the various lessons about acceptance, friendship and trust.
YEAR 10 DRAMA Year 10 Drama students started the year by engaging with the Sally Mackenzie text I dot luv dot u :) from the perspective of a Theatre Director, workshopping a chosen scene to develop the various production elements that go with creating a performance (e.g. set design, costume design, lighting and music). This unit included having the author herself visit the students to discuss their ideas. Semester 2 saw the students engaging with the annual Documentary Drama unit, with the unifying theme being the Federal Election and the various issues associated with it. The students wrote and performed their own pieces on such varied topics as asylum seekers and women’s rights. This particular cohort certainly completed their two years of study in spectacular fashion.

Also of note is that from this particular cohort we had Victoria and Aimee Munro take part in the annual Griffith University Early Start to Tertiary Studies (GUESTS) Drama program. Both girls achieved excellent results, particularly when considering the program is aimed at top-achieving Year 12 students.
YEAR 12 DRAMA The Year 12 cohort certainly ended the year with flair and style at the annual Year 12 Production. Once again working with the Brisbane-based Cinematic Theatre company Markwell Presents, the two classes performed the seminal texts The Cagebirds by David Campton and Toxic by Maryanne Lynch. The large audience certainly enjoyed the acting skill on display, and the Cinematic Backdrops certainly elevated the shows to new heights. Special thanks to Mr Steven Maxwell, Creative Producer of Markwell Presents, for his work in the Artist in Residence program. Year 12 student Maddison King also took part in this year’s GUESTS Drama program, achieving the top result of the 2013 cohort. We congratulate Maddison on this excellent achievement.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ENGLISH REPORT Mrs Shona Sunebeck Curriculum Coordinator English (Years 7-9)
It was a very productive year for Middle School English students in 2013, as they approached their units with commitment and enthusiasm. They have studied a range of texts such as novels, films, documentaries, plays, poetry, websites, short stories and picture books, and these texts have provided opportunities for students to engage with the world around them. They also created and produced a range of assessment items such as analytical essays, multimodal presentations, panel discussions, short stories, reflective journals and essays, and proposals.
YEAR 7 The Year 7’s have had an exciting first year in the Middle School and have studied a range of texts from Shrek Forever After to Red Dog to animated children’s programs like Dora the Explorer. They explored the issue of sustainability, reflected on their identity, analysed the concept of Australian identity and decided whether or not children should be watching so many cartoons on television. They created and produced a variety of texts and really demonstrated that they are more than ready for the academic rigour required in the Middle School.
YEAR 8 The Year 8’s demonstrated how much they have grown through exploring texts such as picture books, Don’t Call Me Ishmael, humorous films such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid and a range of powerful texts about human rights and social justice. Many students were particularly moved by the inspiring story of Malala Yousafzai. The students produced some really insightful assessment pieces throughout the year which clearly show that they are ready for the challenges of Year 9.
ENGLISH EXTENSION Every year, a small group of students choose to take on the academic rigour required in English Extension. It is a difficult subject that involves a lot of intense reading and intense debate about some of our most famous literature. They studied the origins of the English language, argued the relevance of the literary canon, deconstructed their favourite genre, and analysed how performances of Shakespeare reflect the human condition. A tall order for a group of Year 9 students, however, this group produced stellar texts and will be a formidable group in Year 10 English Extension.
SPECIAL EVENTS Year 7 – enjoyed a witty performance from the company Poetry in Action. Year 8 – also enjoyed a performance from Poetry in Action.
– received a visit from Michael Gerard Bauer, the author of Don’t Call Me Ishmael.
Year 9 – enjoyed and participated in a performance of Macbeth with Grin and Tonic.
MIDDLE SCHOOL ENGLISH STAFF The students have benefited greatly from the commitment and dedication of the staff. They have provided the students with engaging learning experiences and have guided them in becoming better writers, avid readers and lifelong learners. Those teachers were Mrs Jan Paterson, Ms Jill McLeod, Ms Madeleine Wallas, Mr Ray Sauer, Mrs Alex Patten, Mrs Simone Hartley, Ms Megan Annand, Ms Lynne Connor, Ms Merrin Trewin, Ms Jacinta Cain, Mr Iain Hogg, Mrs Allira Riikonen and Mrs Mafalda Stevenson. It has been a successful and rewarding year for Middle School English. Students have developed vital skills in the areas of language, literature and literacy that they can take with them throughout their lives.
YEAR 9 The Year 9’s have really shone this year with some truly academic offerings in their assessment items. The texts they explored were images of Australia, war poetry, Wonder and Shakespeare’s Macbeth. Through these texts, the students were able to analyse and reflect on a number of important social issues such as Australian identity, the experiences of our servicemen and women, developing empathy for the plight of others, and the enduring nature of Shakespeare’s tragedies. They proved that they are more than ready for the expectations of Senior School English.

SENIOR SCHOOL ENGLISH REPORT Mr Tim Ballam-Cross Curriculum Coordinator English (Years 10-12)
In 2013, students have continued to achieve well in their courses, with increased numbers of students gaining excellent results. There were 19 VHA and 74 HA results in Year 12 English, thanks to the students’ hard work and the guidance of Ms Megan Annand, Ms Jacinta Cain, Mrs Diana Glover, Mrs Deanne Hamilton, Mrs Simone Hartley and Mrs Shona Sunebeck. There were also some excellent results in Year 12 English Communication, under the care of Mrs Glover, where two members of the class, Naomi Poncho and Connor Hodgson, gained VHAs. No Year 12 students failed the courses they were enrolled in at the end of the year, and every monitoring or verification submission to the district panel in 2013 was approved without change – a very pleasing outcome. Ms Sarah Barry joined the English teaching staff in Term 3 while Mrs Sunebeck took long-service leave. Ms Merrin Trewin took up the challenge of teaching Year 11 English Communication and has helped to make it a lively and relevant course. We were also pleased to welcome Mrs Allira Riikonen, teaching Year 11 English. While it was sad to see Ms Lynne Connor leave teaching for a while, it was wonderful to have the opportunity to see her baby boy in Term 3. A further bonus was the return of Ms Annand, who had taught at Canterbury for a Term in 2011, to take over Ms Connor’s classes. While there have been student achievements in many areas, it would be good to see larger numbers being involved in the ICAS English and Writing competitions. Those who participated were often very successful. Kristin Magarry (Year 11) excelled once again, gaining a Distinction in the ICAS Writing Competition. Credit certificate winners for the Writing Competition included Year 10 students Courtney Kwan, Jodie Muller and Safiyyah Odzic. In Year 11, Lauren Conway, Georgia Gamble and Madeleine Schulz also gained Credits. In the ICAS English Competition, the Distinction winners were Savita Datta and Jodie Muller from Year 10, and Georgia Gamble and Kristin Magarry from Year 11. Credit certificate winners included Conor Anglim and Courtney Kwan in Year 10, and Lauren Conway and Madeleine Schulz in Year 11. One of the most talented groups in the Senior English area is the Year 10 English Extension class, which has produced some very thoughtful and effective responses to their assessment tasks. In Term 4, these students have been writing various autobiographical pieces modelled on sections of The Weekend Australian and The Courier-Mail, particularly those segments written by readers and chosen for publication. Jodie Muller penned this snapshot of one of her passions, modelling her response on the regular column on Ordinary People in The Courier-Mail weekly colour magazine.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
Ordinary People By Jodie Muller (Year 10) I love public speaking. I know most people are terrified of it, and sure, my legs still shake when I give a big speech. But I love getting up there with something to say, spreading my thoughts to other people. I do debating at school and really enjoy it. Having the weight of the team on my shoulders as I step up to represent them is daunting but, as my shaking legs slowly find their way to the centre of the room and the audience’s applause dies down, I get an opportunity to persuade people to think the same way I do, which is empowering. I have always stood up for what I believe in and do not often get carried away with the crowd. My Mum has always been really supportive of me and listens to my speeches when I am practising. She comes to my home debates and is always smiling at me from the audience. When I was little, she enrolled me in a drama club for kids to help boost confidence. It involved getting up on stage and performing, in which I thrived. At the end of the year, they told her that I was already quite confident enough. Part of why I love debating is that you have to think about both sides to an argument. You start off thinking one way, but when you dig more deeply you can see more than one angle to the topic. Seeing the hidden meanings and looking beyond stereotypes also help you get a better understanding of the topic. I am usually third speaker, which means my main job is to find flaws in the other team’s arguments. Again, it is all about seeing another perspective, so I have a lot of fun with it. When you tell people the topic they usually know which side they would like to be on, but after the debate adjudicators often say they do not know which side they believe. That is an immense part of debating that I revel in. I have lived in Beaudesert for as long as I can remember, and my grandmother and one of my aunts also live in town. I went to primary school locally and still have lots of friends of my age in town. It was in primary school that I was first introduced to debating and I will never forget forming a debating team with my best friends for an English assignment. We won the debate and I had my first taste of being the third speaker. People are always asking me what I want to be when I graduate but I really have no idea. I have always done well at school and I appreciate the right to an education. I value wisdom and intelligence and strive to understand what is going on around me. I considered taking my public speaking skills into law or politics but Mum thinks I am too honest and soft to survive in those tough fields. She is probably right. My plan at the moment is to study game design, and what happens after that happens. I will see where life takes me. If there is one thing I will take away from my time as third speaker, it is learning to think on my feet.

FILM, TELEVISION AND NEW MEDIA REPORT Mrs Allira Riikonen Film, Television and New Media teacher
What did you miss if you did not study Film and Television in 2013? A lot. That is what. The subject entered its second year at Canterbury with a bang. There is a film nerd on board; be warned. With separate Year 11 and 12 cohorts this year, we were able to share our enthusiasm over the two classes.
FTVNM students enjoyed using new editing software on their laptops
YEAR 11 In Year 11 we started out by deconstructing film and looking particularly at how film imparts meaning to its audience. Everyone in the audience understands the message the film is communicating, but who could explain how it is actually achieved, what the techniques are and to what effect? Well, after Term 1, the Year 11’s now can. The students really enjoyed studying Hollywood film genres in Term 2. The unit focused on analysing the rules and formulas genre films must follow. Among the various codes and conventions specific to each genre, especially interesting icons include the severe female character who softens during the course of the film and a plot that often addresses concerns of technology and the future, specific to the science-fiction genre.
YEAR 12 The Year 12’s began the year by examining how reliable documentaries really are. We scrutinised various documentaries, checking the techniques closely to determine how exactly these films come across as truthful, but are more often than not very manipulative. Terrible!
IN YEAR 11 yy Eleanor Clayton, Holly Caldwell and Tayla Pellberg took out the Best Genre Film yy Katie Thompson produced the Best Individual Crime Show.
IN YEAR 12 yy Marina Pennisi was awarded Best Trailer yy Lauren Bucksath took out best documentary and overall Filmmaker of the Year. Well done! I’ll be expecting quality work again in 2014.
Terms 3 and 4 were spent breaking all the rules. Film rules of course; we would not break any other ones. The Year 12’s were introduced to some beautiful and starkly unfamiliar films from around the world. The Europeans certainly know how to produce amazing films. As a very exciting bonus for the students, this year we had brand new cameras, tripods and microphones, as well as new editing software on our laptops.
FILM NIGHT As a celebration of all we achieved, we enjoyed our first annual Film Night in October, awarding the year’s top productions to the Year 11 and 12 students. The MCs of the night, Elizabeth McGahan and Emily Pluckrose, played the part so very well and entertained us all thoroughly. We were especially grateful to have Mr Tony Nutt and Mrs Donna Anderson present to congratulate our category winners.

FOOD AND TEXTILES STUDIES REPORT Mrs Caroline Diprose Curriculum Coordinator Food and Textiles Studies (Years 8-10)
2013 was another busy and productive year in the Food and Textiles Studies Department with a large number of students electing to take the subject in Years 9 and 10. This is a heartening sign that cooking, nutrition, textiles and sewing are again being viewed as important and enjoyable life skills which equip our children with the skills necessary for independent living.
Food Studies There is global concern about children being exposed to a greater range of unhealthy food choices and an undeniable link between poor dietary choices and long-term health problems. With this in mind, the focus of all our food units has been on imparting to our students the knowledge to make informed choices regarding the food they consume and the ability to produce healthier food options.
YEAR 8 The Year 8 cohort explored basic nutritional information and was shown fundamental cooking techniques which were incorporated into their practical lessons. The “Four Reasons for Eating Food”, “Five Food Groups” and “Six Nutrients” were studied in theory classes, as well as The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating and The Australian Dietary Guidelines for Adolescents. Delicious fruit smoothies, homemade muesli bars, fried rice, and pear and custard crumble were enthusiastically produced. The Year 8 students are always keen cooks who love to take their goods home to share with family and friends.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
YEAR 9 “Foods From Around the World” was the theme of the initial Year 9 Food Studies unit and students not only researched the many different foods that are produced globally but also experimented with a variety of ingredients and recipes peculiar to particular areas of the world. For their assessment, students created a PowerPoint presentation that provided information about their chosen country’s food traditions, commonly eaten foods, ingredients, food preparation methods and other interesting facts. For their second unit, the students researched and reported on all aspects of “Fabulous Fruit and Vibrant Vegetables”. They researched and produced a feature article which highlighted not only the nutritional benefits of a fruit or vegetable of their choice but also its source, availability and ways adolescents could increase consumption in their diet. To reinforce this knowledge, practical lessons were devoted to using fruit and vegetables in all forms. To finish off this unit, students donned their MasterChef hats and planned and prepared a healthy meal incorporating their chosen fruit or vegetable. They had just 70 minutes to prepare, serve, share and clean up their creations. There were many interesting, delicious and healthy meals cooked that day and the students really showcased their array of skills.
YEAR 10 Year 10 students were asked to design a new, healthy menu item targeting adolescents that could hypothetically be sold in a café. The ingredients for three different recipes were analysed with the FoodChoices computer program and the recipes trialled and evaluated during practical lessons. Packaging, labelling of nutritional content and promotional material was produced for the menu item which was then cooked under test kitchen conditions for taste testing by a number of willing students. On the basis of feedback given to each student by the taste testers, the café menu item was then deemed as suitable or not. A wide range of nutritious and delicious items was presented by all students throughout the Term and valuable lessons were learnt. Creating a healthy menu item that can be easily and attractively packaged and marketed successfully to adolescents, while also being ultimately nutritious, proved quite a challenge. With lifestyle diseases being of great concern in modern Australian society, Year 10 students spent their second unit researching the many ways diet can impact and greatly reduce the risk of developing these chronic diseases. Theory lessons gave the students an insight into ways that healthy food and exercise choices could help prevent or control diseases such as Osteoporosis, Obesity, Cardiovascular Disease and Diabetes Type II. Practical lessons revolved around identifying food and producing meals that were suitable for the prevention and control of these conditions. Students produced an informational brochure aimed at adolescents, informing them of the short and long-term dangers of poor diet and exercise habits.

Textiles Studies YEAR 8 Throughout their Term in Textiles, Year 8 students were taught basic machine skills using our state-of-the-art computerised machines and, with an emphasis on creative fun, they each produced a colourful and useful polar fleece beanie. The students proved enthusiastic and able learners and many wonderful, headwarming creations resulted.
YEAR 9 In their first Year 9 Textiles unit, the students designed and produced a cushion cover that would appeal to a teenager. Students were given plain and printed fabric which they dyed using various fabric colouring techniques including salting, tiedye and heliography. They continued to embellish their projects with ruffles, patchwork, ribbon and lace. There were many fabulous, colourful creations and many of these cushions will adorn their beds or decorate their houses for many years to come. In Semester 2, the students designed and produced summer sleepwear suitable for an adolescent attending a sleepover. Bright and colourful pyjama shorts were teamed with a singlet or T-shirt which were personalised with their choice of a range of design applications including yoyos, lace, ribbons and buttons, fabric painting and machine appliqué.
YEAR 10 The Year 10 students researched fashion sub-cultures from Preppy Chic to Goth Glamour, Punk Rock, Hippie Chic and beyond, each producing a two-page article for a class magazine entitled Fashion Favourites. This was an interesting exercise for the students as they investigated the origins, the “look” and other influences in each particular fashion statement. Students were also taught the principles of stretch sewing and constructed a hooded jacket from stretch fabric which they then personalised using one of the many decorative appliqué designs available on our computerised sewing machines. As their second project, the Year 10 students constructed Teddy Bears inspired by their favourite song or musical artist. The bears were constructed from plain cotton and then embellished individually with hand embroidery to give each bear a unique personality. A bear covered in lollies, another in fireworks and even a Bollywood-inspired project were but a few of the Bear family that adorned the Textiles Room in Term 4. Another very busy year has ended with the students being given a comprehensive knowledge of Food and Textiles as well as many practical life skills which will assist them through their adolescent and adult years. They have also taken away articles that they have designed and produced themselves which will be a fond reminder of their days at Canterbury College.

HEALTH AND PHYSICAL EDUCATION REPORT Mrs Megan Christie Curriculum Coordinator Health and Physical Education
Health and Physical Education plays a key role in providing young people with the skills, knowledge, understanding, values and attitudes that are fundamental to their health and lifestyles. What an important subject! “When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.� Herophilus. I am so honored by the important role I have had shaping positive attitudes regarding health and wellbeing. Kicking the ball around the oval may be perceived as unimportant to some. The more supportive may see the structured development of movement skills and related concepts. To the HPE advocates, however, that ball and that kick breed an essential foundation for lifelong physical health as well as mental, social and emotional development.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
The following are the most important lessons I hope you gained in HPE classes: 1. You need to work hard to improve and reach your potential (athletic or not) and this mentality can make up for natural physical (or other) ability. 2. The importance of the team supersedes the recognition of individual accomplishments, and by working together as part of a team you can accomplish what is out of the reach of individuals. 3. You can be proud of your successes without demeaning your opponent and you need to be gracious in defeat. I am also very proud of the quality and scope of the curriculum we offer. In 2013, we saw our first group of students receive their Certificate III in Fitness so they are now fully qualified fitness instructors. The QSA authority subject Health Education was also introduced as a new course of study for our Senior students. Its first year was a huge success and the students enjoyed the engaging content and purposeful assessment. To all HPE students, congratulations on your individual accomplishments and thank you for making the year memorable. To my HPE team, thank you for helping me achieve my curriculum goals. My hope is that you all continue to strive to uphold the responsibility that is bestowed upon a teacher of Health and Physical Education. May your lives be filled with health and happiness.

HOME ECONOMICS REPORT Mrs Caroline Diprose Curriculum Coordinator Home Economics (Years 11-12)
Home Economics education promotes opportunities to discover and develop skills that will enhance individual and family wellbeing. Using a variety of perspectives such as legal, historical, social, cultural, economic and ethical, along with a focus on practical skills in food and textiles, students learn how to improve their and others’ lives. A new syllabus was introduced for Year 11 students in 2013. This syllabus focuses on three areas of study: Individuals, Families and Communities; Nutrition and Food; and Textiles and Fashion.
YEAR 11 During Semester 1, the Year 11 students investigated Nutrition in Modern Australia. This included developing core nutrition knowledge so they could investigate their daily diet for areas they may be lacking. From this point they used the computer program widely used by Australian dieticians called Food Choices to analyse their findings. They investigated the nutritional requirements necessary for them as an adolescent and explored how they could prepare meals that met these needs. The students also met with Dietician Amy Chatwin, who discussed with them the importance of a balanced, healthy diet for growing adolescents. After thorough investigations, the students planned and prepared a two-course meal which complied with the nutritional guidelines and other recommended requirements. Throughout this process they developed efficient time management and organisational skills, as well as enhancing their culinary knowledge and skills, and this led to some delicious meals being prepared. In Semester 2, students studied the unit The Modern Family and its Environment. Students learned about family relationships, conflict resolution, work and their family. They gained a greater understanding of the complexities of the modern family and how these situations contribute to the development of the individual and society. Students also learned about the subtle differences between Generations X, Y and Z and why each generation has a different view of the world. The students wrote a magazine article about the trend of Generation X and Y staying in the family home longer than any previous generation. Many students formed opinions about the issue of being an adult in their 30’s and still living with their parents.
Students gained valuable insights about other class members’ family situations through a series of conversations about their very own modern families. We also had many discussions about the impact of technology. Building on the generation theme, students then embarked on their first Senior textiles assignment. The students’ assessment task was to create a unique bag that depicted a generation or decade of their choice. Some of these creative pieces included a Pacman-inspired bag as well as other bags made from recycled clothing and home wares including denim jeans, skirts, curtains, cushion covers and placemats. Their creativity was amazing and many wonderful creations emerged.
NATURAL FIBRES WEARABLE ART TEXTILES COMPETITION Earlier in the year, two students from Canterbury College entered the Agricultural Societies Natural Fibres Make and Model competition. The students were Natasha Stanley and Sarah Corbet (Year 11), both of whom are past FTS students who had shown great aptitude for Textiles in Year 9 and 10. The girls both still loved to express their creativity through textiles creation and jumped at the opportunity to enter the competition in the wearable art category. Wearable art requires students to think outside the box and come up with a uniquely designed outfit that has a wow factor. The outfits needed to have a clear theme or inspiration and could be sewn or put together in a more creative way. Sarah was inspired by nature and her theme was a violet orchid. She created large petal shapes which she hand dyed, a violet skirt and lilac bodice top. Natasha had a more quirky idea and chose to make a dress inspired by Alice in Wonderland. The outfit comprised of a dress that was covered with hundreds of large cards glued in a spiral pattern and an apron made of small blue cards. The girls spent months after school and at home designing, modifying and refining their outfits. Due to the number of quality entries by Canterbury College, the students were able to bypass preliminary rounds and go straight through to the State final. The State final was held on the Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) weekend at the RNA Showgrounds. The judging itself did not take a lot of time but there was a long wait for the fashion show. As a part of the competition the girls were required to get up in front of the large crowd and model their creation in a fashion parade. The girls were very nervous but they grew in confidence as both received many compliments on their outfits. College staff and students came along to support the girls while Mums and Dads spent the day carrying outfits through the showground and being the unofficial paparazzi. In the end, Natasha placed Second in Queensland for the category and won $150 in prize money. Both girls enjoyed the experience and have already started to think about ideas for the next competition.

HOME ECONOMICS CONTINUED. YEAR 12 The Year 12 students continued their progress through the Home Economics program with a unit called Clever Consumers. In this unit, they investigated fashion and looked at the ethical issues facing the industry like counterfeit products, sweatshops, outworkers’ rights and sustainable production methods. These concepts were new to many and created some interesting conversations, proving our students could see issues from multiple perspectives. The students drew upon these concepts while creating their practical item - a two-piece sleepwear set. The quality of the end products was very high and many items could easily have sold in a department store. Continuing the Clever Consumers unit, the students moved from fashion to food. They compiled a research report investigating the fact that adolescents are the highest consumers of high-energy drinks. Students discovered that many adolescents are unaware of the potential health risks associated with these beverages. This was eye opening for many students and created much debate and discussion in class. As the Year 12 students approached the end of their schooling life, we focussed on life after school and gaining independence with a unit called Leaving Home Well Prepared. In this unit, students researched contemporary issues in food and nutrition for adolescents once they left home. This culminated in a practical exam where the student cooked a suitable two-course meal for an adolescent in a hypothetical situation based on leaving home or being independent. Students also researched whether fad diets are a suitable method of losing weight for adolescents. They looked at concepts related to body image and the media, as well as the negative effects of fad dieting on teenagers. In their last Term, the focus was on equipping the students with the knowledge necessary to become independent in areas such as starting a job, what to expect at university and accessing community services. Students gained knowledge about the many options available to them when they decide to move out of home. Over the two-year course of study, students have developed an understanding of a range of contexts and perspectives that influence wellbeing. They have developed practical skills and techniques, using a variety of technologies, that will assist them in functioning in the real world. They have also formed many opinions that will ensure they can make informed decisions in the future that will benefit them and those around them. Many of these students have been studying Home Economics for five years and I am sure they will be wonderful advocates for the wellbeing of themselves and their families well into the future.

HOSPITALITY REPORT Mrs Kerrie Hurford Curriculum Coordinator Hospitality (Years 11-12)
Throughout 2013, the Hospitality students at Canterbury College gained a great deal of hands-on experience in the Hospitality Industry. As this course is competency based, the students are required to participate in industry functions and be assessed on their practical skill level in a variety of ways on a number of separate occasions, some of which are listed below. yy Canterbury students undertook a week of structured work placement at a variety of establishments locally, in the Brisbane CBD and on the Gold Coast. The students enjoyed the chance to put into practice some of the skills they had learnt at school, and so impressed were their supervisors that a number of students were offered part-time jobs at their place of employment. yy The students were also involved in working at a number of breakfast and dinner functions at the Beenleigh Police Citizens Youth Club where our attendance is mutually beneficial as it provides the club with workers and the students with experience. The Hospitality students can now easily cope with functions attended by several hundred people and are always complimented on their professional behaviour and appearance.
coffees and chocolates, milkshakes and frappes. The café has become a permanent and most welcome addition to the College week and now also operates for Saturday sporting fixtures and special events such as the Annual Excellence Awards and Open Days. This year we also held several very exciting and beneficial incursions where Ms Dominique Rizzo, a nationally acclaimed chef, came to the College to instruct the students. Year 11’s honed their knife skills with a delicious assortment of Asian-inspired dishes while Year 12 students learnt the techniques required to produce a variety of delicious fresh pastas and complementary sauces. This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to not only work with someone of Dominique’s celebrity status in the Hospitality Industry but also share her passion, vision and insight. By far the most exciting event in the Hospitality Department calendar this year was the completion of the Trade Training Centre which comprises a fully functioning commercial kitchen, restaurant and bar/coffee shop. This beautiful facility has been purpose-built to ensure that we are now able to offer a wider range of Hospitality courses in the future, starting with the Certificate II in Kitchen Operations for Year 11’s in 2014. We have already catered several functions in the Trade Training Centre Restaurant such as the Cantabile Dinner and Year 12 Hospitality Graduation Dinner, and the students and guests were thrilled with how smoothly these ran when using all the new equipment and facilities. Hospitality is a very stimulating, interesting and rewarding industry which offers students the ability to earn a living or travel the world utilising the large number of skills they have learnt at school. I look forward to the continued success of our Hospitality students in 2014.
yy The Year 11 students enjoyed a three-day, twonight stay at the Mercure Resort Hotel School where they experienced the machinations of many of the departments of a tourist resort such as Housekeeping, Concierge, Reception, Kitchen and Banquet. This is an invaluable insight into what happens behind the scenes in a Hospitality venue. yy The Year 12 students participated in an insideoutside tour of Palazzo Versace, where they were taken around the luxurious resort before enjoying a delicious meal in their fine dining restaurant Vanitas. yy To aid in the assessment of their practical skills, students also carried out functions at the College. Year 11 students invited their parents, grandparents, aunties and uncles to enjoy a High Tea, including delicious morning tea food and beverage items the students had made themselves. The students also served at an array of College functions throughout the year such as the annual Logan Chamber of Commerce Ladies at Lunch event and the Year 12 Graduation breakfast. yy Year 12 students operated Canterbury Café on a weekly basis where delicious café food was prepared and sold to parents, teachers and students along with a range of espresso coffees, hot chocolates, iced

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN REPORT Mrs Alana Patterson Curriculum Coordinator Industrial Technology and Design/Graphics/IT
2013 was a year of growth for the Industrial Technology and Design (ITD) Department. In February, construction began on our brand new Trade Training Centre. This building has been specifically designed for the teaching of Furniture Making and Construction courses to our Senior students. The building was completed in June, fitted out with machinery and tools relevant to the courses, and we began teaching the students on day one of Term 3 in July. The staff and students have put a great deal of effort into the setting up of the building and have assisted with the storage of projects and tools via the construction of storage boxes, tool boards and labelling systems. Our theory room has been fitted out with furniture specifically chosen to enhance the learning experiences of our students and the result has been a room the students just love to learn in. We also welcomed Mr Bryan Shephard to our teaching team. Mr Shephard joined our ITD, Furniture Making and Construction students in their studies and they have thrived under his guidance and knowledge.

INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN As always, the workshop subject of Industrial Technology and Design has been very popular with our students in Years 8, 9 and 10. They worked hard to learn the correct procedures for the tools and equipment associated with their projects. We had some very impressive projects taken home by our students and everybody should be very proud of their achievements.
YEAR 8 Year 8 ITD was a terrific learning experience for our students in 2013. Students have studied both workshop procedures and graphics within their Semester rotation. Within the workshop, students learnt about the materials, tools and machines used within our subject and produced projects including acrylic photograph holders, timber trinket boxes and sheet metal tackle boxes. In the graphics room, they learnt to create safety posters on the computers and were taught how to perform basic functions using our computer-aided drafting software Autodesk Inventor. They had a great time and learnt some amazing processes throughout the Semester.
YEAR 9 Year 9 ITD was a learning journey for our students. They participated in the production of projects including timber pencil cases, a sheet metal tool box and a fantastic mantle clock with a decorative tile insert. Students learnt joints such as rebate joints and mortice and tenon joints, which were carved by hand, and used dowel joints to assemble their mantle clock. They have designed and constructed toy trucks and have also produced iPod docking stations with great success. Music filled the workshops during the testing of these very successful projects. Students entering Year 10 ITD in 2014 will begin work on their Certificate I Furnishing qualification, which they will complete in one year.
YEAR 10 Year 10 ITD/Certificate I Furnishing students combined design and production and learnt a variety of new skills. These students began their Certificate I Furnishings course in 2012, and completed their required theory and practical projects in 2013. They have used a dovetail jig to
C URRI C UL UM RE P ORTS
construct jewellery boxes, and the design process to make these boxes unique included drawers, shelves and embellishments. They designed and constructed iPod docking stations with great success, learning about electronic components and skills such as soldering. They have also produced mechanical vehicles which taught them skills associated with gears and small motors. These students have been our first cohort to achieve competency in the Certificate I Furnishings qualification and have received their official certificates from SkillsTech – our training provider.
TECHNOLOGY STUDIES
CERTIFICATE II FURNITURE MAKING
Our Year 12 students began the year designing a disability aid for disadvantaged members of the public. The students produced models of their designs and were able to test them for their intended purposes with great success. The students completed an investigation into renewable energy in the form of battery and hydrogen cell-powered vehicles and completed the year with successful personal design projects. An excellent effort all round.
2013 saw our first group of students graduate with a formal qualification from this course. Our Year 11 students covered the Certificate I in Furnishings units which are embedded in the Certificate II Course. This concentrated primarily on hand skills. The students built a tile-topped coffee table using hand tools only, and have produced sound systems as well as a number of in-class projects within the Trade Training Centre. Year 12 students have constructed a bedside table, a lazy susan and have learnt to apply sheet laminates to flat surfaces. They also studied 3D CAD modelling on the computer and sketching techniques by hand. The students have learnt a lot of new skills with hand tools and will continue this into 2014. The students have shown great skill in this subject and we are looking forward to their future projects.
CERTIFICATE I CONSTRUCTION Our first group of students graduated in 2013 with a formal qualification from this course. Students in Year 11 constructed dog kennels, tool carryalls and checker plate tool boxes while learning new skills using construction tools and equipment such as nail guns. The Year 12 students constructed mock walls to practise their framing and also learnt concreting and levelling techniques and procedures. They have learnt framing and nogging techniques as well as framing around doors and windows.
Year 11 students began the year designing and producing a sustainable system for emergency situations. These designs included water purifiers, solar ovens and solar torches. They have designed relocatable vans for the purpose of re-engineering and have produced lighting solutions showing great ingenuity. These students have worked extremely hard to produce design folios, doing a great depth of research and investigation before making their projects. They are to be congratulated for their efforts.
GRAPHICS The students in Years 9, 10, 11 and 12 were given many assignment scenarios specifically relating to real-world situations. We have structured the course this way to allow students to acquire the necessary employability skills to become productive members of society. Just some of the assignment tasks included designing houses for a specific client, recreating multi-part items and developing business portfolios, including logos and advertising campaigns. Students also had the opportunity to work with Autodesk Inventor and Revit which are our three-dimensional software packages. 2014 will see the implementation of the new Senior Graphics syllabus for our Year 11 students. This will make room for extended learning experiences for our students and allow them to really be involved in the design process related to their drawings. The work produced in 2013 has been of exceptional quality and has really set the bar high for future years. To see students so interested in their work is a rewarding experience for a teacher, and we look forward to seeing what the students produce in 2014.

The Languages Department has continued to deliver an exciting and realistic program which engages the students and equips them with lifelong skills that can be transferred to many other areas of interest. Ms Sarah Bakanay, Mr Peter Van der Poel, Mrs Susan Walduck, Mrs Lu Liu, Ms Jennifer Wu and Ms Madeleine Wallas have been the faithful Language teachers throughout the year. One of the highlights of 2013 was the introduction of Senior Chinese. This has been an interesting journey and we are very excited to add another language to our menu. Here are some further highlights of Languages 2013.
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENTS In Term 3 each year, all Language students are required to sit for the Assessment of Language Competence (ALC). Upon completing this nationwide assessment, they receive certificates ranging from Participation to High Distinction. While at Canterbury most students are awarded a Credit in at least one skill, there are students who are given higher placements. This is always most pleasing. These certificates are designed to celebrate and enhance the learning of languages in Australia, New Zealand and Asia-Pacific schools and the certificates affirm students for engaging with a second language. The reports assist teachers and schools in gaining detailed information about each student’s performance against the difficulty level of test items, as well as the school’s performance against all other schools for a particular language and certificate level. Here are the impressive results of ALC 2013. High Distinction (in at least one skill) yy Savita Datta – Japanese yy Samheetha Arugonda – French Distinction (in at least one skill) yy Eleanor Hilston – French yy Rhiannon Nind – French yy Luke Clipperton – French

YEAR 8 JAPANESE GARDEN UNIT The Year 8 students have studied Japanese Gardens. Linguistically they are studying the words for garden elements, colours, adjectives, seasons, months of the year as well as numbers, counting, money and change. They have also designed and built their own Japanese garden including all essential elements. In order to gain a better understanding of their unit, students visited the Japanese Gardens at Mount Coot-tha. Here is an extract of Rebecca Kounakoff’s thoughts on the excursion: “We were fortunate enough to visit a Japanese garden at Mount Coot-tha to gain a better understanding of its features and elements. We also participated in many activities such as calligraphy, haiku and map reading skills. Before the unit started I knew nothing about Japanese gardens and was not aware that there is a whole lot more to it. A Japanese garden contains five elements: water, wood, stone, plants and ornaments - all of which can bring relaxation or peace to someone. During that unit, constructing a model garden improved and enhanced our knowledge of the Japanese vocabulary, mainly as it was much easier to relate and comprehend than using ordinary pen and paper. I believe that the Japanese garden in Canterbury’s grounds definitely fits in this school as the garden itself encourages and represents peace and harmony.”
YEAR 8 JAPANESE COOKING UNIT The Year 8 Japanese students finished their studies on Japanese foods with an incursion at the new Trade Training Centre. Naoko and Sumi were the resident chefs who gave students many tips for making perfect sushi. Students worked in groups to make egg, tuna, cucumber or avocado sushi rolls and then dined on their creations. The students benefitted greatly from the expertise of native speakers and all teachers agreed they would happily eat what the students made – what a great compliment! Thank you to Mrs Walduck and Mr Van der Poel for organising the incursion.

AUSTRALIAN PROBLEM SOLVING MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIADS There are five Olympiads of 25 minutes throughout the year. Each competition contains five problems to be completed without a calculator. Students from Years 7, 8 and 9 compete against each other in the Senior division of the Olympiads. William Glass and Sean Fraser (Year 8) finished in the top 10 per cent of all entrants in the country.
TUTORING Help with Mathematics at every level is available at tutorials held after school from 3.30pm – 4.30pm, Tuesday to Friday. No appointment is necessary but students should bring their own books. All levels of Maths from Year 7 to Year 12 are catered for. Students are always encouraged to attend tutorials with their own teacher at a mutually convenient time. Using five minutes at the end of a lesson to clarify a particular issue can often be time well spent.
Competitions
There is also help online through the College’s portal Scholaris, where students can access extra worksheets, explanations and links to useful websites. The Khan Academy can be a useful source of tutorial help.
AUSTRALIAN MATHEMATICS COMPETITION
FUN WITH MATHS
There were 48 Middle School students who entered and 13 of those were awarded Distinctions. Malcolm Russell (Year 9) was awarded a High Distinction. Nicola Cain (Year 7) and Mirae Yun (Year 8) both won a Prize which is awarded to the top 0.2 per cent of entrants.
The Year 7 cohort was visited by the Fun with Maths company and fun was indeed had by all. This was an opportunity to embed Mathematics into a range of practical situations using a variety of equipment. Students worked in teams, solving problems and thinking critically without even realising it. Jasper Farmer and Luke Dawson (pictured above) worked on a puzzle derived from a chess board.
MATHS TEAM CHALLENGE Canterbury College hosted 60 teams from 21 schools for the Maths Team Challenge. The team of Che Carslake, Sean Fraser, William Glass, Kirra McQuilty, and Mirae Yun (pictured above) won the Year 8 competition.
The Year 9 Mathematics Extension students also had their share of fun analysing games and puzzles. Students spent a unit looking at Geometry from quite a different viewpoint.

SENIOR SCHOOL MATHEMATICS REPORT Mr Mitchell Staples Curriculum Coordinator Mathematics (Years 10-12)
Mathematics in 2013 saw much excitement, with many successful competitions, continual development of curriculum delivery and innovation, and ongoing teacher professional development being conducted. In 2013, we welcomed Mrs Bernadette Coultas to the Mathematics Department. Her wealth of experience has been invaluable. We also wish Mr David Ilsley the best for 2014 with his year of leave. We continued to develop and refine the delivery of the Australian Curriculum for Year 10 students through the inclusion of assignments to help develop techniques for Senior assessment. Focus has been on the inclusion of technology in assessment starting in Year 10 to help students develop skills in graphing programs and Microsoft Excel which will be utilised by students in their Senior years of Mathematics.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
Tutorials continue to be a well-attended and utilised resource for students. I wish to publicly thank all the teachers who have graciously given up their own time to support the students. Various Mathematics competitions were again offered throughout 2013. The premier competition, the Australian Mathematics Competition, was held in June with 74 students across Years 7 to 12 participating. The results were the best achieved by Canterbury College for the past five years. Two Senior School students Darren Sharma (Year 11) and Patrick Janssen (Year 12) were awarded prizes for placing in the top 0.2 per cent of their cohorts. A further four students achieved High Distinctions: Nancy Zhao, Faizan Azam, Lee McCann and Joshua Burt. The Queensland Association of Mathematics Teachers Problem Solving Competition, held in conjunction with The University of Queensland, was sat by 12 students across Years 7 to 12. This event consisted of five extremely difficult questions to be completed over two hours. Darren Sharma achieved second place in his division, which is a fantastic achievement for him. 2013 saw the Mathematics Team Challenge for the Logan and Gold Coast region hosted at Canterbury College for the second year. This was a wellattended competition with 22 schools and 71 teams attending across Years 7 to 12. Canterbury College Senior teams performed well, with Year 11 and 12 students Lee McCann, Patrick Janssen, Darren Sharma, Lewis Worrall and Faizan Azam achieving First Place. Next year may see the need to expand this competition if growth continues. A massive thanks must go to Mr Ilsley and Mr Chris Pollock for their organisation of the competition and to the rest of the Mathematics Department for their support and roles on the competition day. I must thank all members of the Mathematics Department for a wonderful year.

MUSIC REPORT Dr Katrina Peddell Curriculum Coordinator Music (K-Year 12)
Students studying Music in 2013 were engaged in many genres and styles of music. Classrooms were full of energy as students from Kindergarten to Year 12 experimented with musical sound and movement. Students were involved through singing, saying, playing (body percussion, non-tuned percussion, xylophones, recorders, strings, brass, wind instruments, piano, guitar, drum-kit, and djembe), creating (improvising and composing), listening, reading and writing. Some of the styles and genres of music studied included repertoire from popular music, opera, musical theatre, jazz, film music, classical, and world music. Certainly, a wide variety of music with something of interest for every student was offered. This year in the Music Department, we welcomed Mrs Chantelle Williams, who taught Junior and Middle School classes, and Mrs Rachelle Lee, who taught Year 3 Strings and Year 8 Music. Complementing the Classroom Music Curriculum program were rich and diverse experiences for many students. Highlights throughout the year included: yy Year 3 String Program Concerts — In June, the Year 3 students performed in their debut concert showing off their newly learnt skills on violin and cello. In class and instrument type groups, the students eagerly played to the appreciative audience of families. Later in the year, in November, the students performed again and the progress they had made throughout the year was a testament to the skill of their specialist teachers Mrs Rachelle Lee (violin), Mrs Colleen Schneider (violin) and Mrs Evalyn Legried (cello). yy Legally Blonde: The Musical — In March, Senior School students saw the highly entertaining production of Legally Blonde: The Musical at the Lyric Theatre, QPAC. This excursion corresponded with the study of Musical Theatre styles that Year 12 students explored in their first Semester.

MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE REPORT Mr James Jenkins Curriculum Coordinator Science (Years 7-9)
2013 has been another busy year for Middle School Science at Canterbury. Every day in the Science block you can find students working on a variety of interesting topics. Many of these contain engaging practical work, and this is what often captures the imagination of Middle School students. Whether it was the rapid oxidation of a jelly baby, one of the various dissections, or getting zapped by the Van de Graaff generator, many students will have a favourite practical session from the year. We completed the implementation of our digital textbooks, with the introduction of the Year 9 version. These books allow students access to personalised interactive content. Written for the Australian Curriculum, these books are very beneficial in the learning of the concepts taught in our courses. Along with the textbooks, we are enjoying the integration of other digital technologies, including various apps, web-based simulations and interactive response devices.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
The Deadly Australians visit was again one of the highlights of the Year 7 course. Students got an up-close view of some of Australia’s most venomous snakes and spiders, in this extension of our ecology unit. Also as part of this topic, the Year 7’s enjoyed contributing to the Invertebrate Photography Competition. In 2013 we had three Extension Science classes in Year 9 for the first time. Students in these classes are continuing to enjoy the flexibility and choice that they have in designing their own investigations. Investigations covered in 2013 included constructing solar ovens and mouse trap racers. We also introduced rocketry as a topic. Students enjoyed building and then launching their rockets, before analysing their motion. In 2013 many students in Years 7, 8 and 9 performed exceptionally well in the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) Science Exam. A High Distinction (top one per cent in Queensland) was awarded to Shayne Andersen (Year 8), a fantastic achievement. Distinctions were awarded to James Asher (Year 7), Heilyn Bonquin, Sean Fraser (Year 8) and Tiani Gabriel (Year 9). Credits were awarded to Jacob Bahr, Bradley Corbet, Rachel van Luyn, Mirae Yun (Year 8) and Alexander Asher (Year 9). A big thank you to the Science team of 2013: Ms Micha Andersson, Mr Graham Burvill, Mr Ian Fish, Mrs Donna-Marie Forsyth, Mr David Howells, Mr Ron Johnston, Mr Ian Lees, Mr Alan Lyle, Mr Laurie Maetam, Mrs Reina Mesina, Mr Tory Mills, Ms Katrina Moore, Mrs Donna Scott and Dr Debra Tedman.

SENIOR SCHOOL SCIENCE REPORT Mr Laurie Maetam Curriculum Coordinator Science (Years 10-12)
In 2013 the Senior Science students participated in many exciting learning opportunities. Some of the highlights were National Science Week, when Year 10 Extension Science students presented shows for the Junior School students and participated in the Griffith University Engineering Challenge. Biology students enjoyed a three-day camp on Stradbroke Island, Year 11 Physics students experienced G forces and motion problems at Dreamworld while Year 12 Chemistry students visited the brewery as part of their studies. Students had opportunities for extension with the National Science Quiz and holiday courses offered at various universities. Extended Experimental Investigation (EEI) work is an important part of all QSA Senior Science courses, and the quality of topics undertaken and experimental work completed by students in the three sciences is to be commended. The use of data loggers and other computer interfaced technology for data collection was very pleasing.
Finally a big thankyou to our dedicated and hardworking Senior School Science staff: Mr Graham Burvill, Mr Ian Lees, Mr Ron Johnston, Mrs Donna Scott, Mr James Jenkins, Mr Nick Gillin, Mrs Donna-Marie Forysth, Ms Katrina More, Mr Tory Mills, Dr Debra Tedman, Mr Bill Holmes and Mr Ian Fish.
YEAR 11 BIOLOGY CAMP The day dawned bright and sunny as 64 excited Year 11 students and their teachers (Mr James Jenkins, Dr Debra Tedman, Ms Katrina Moore and Mr Tory Mills) boarded the bus to travel to North Stradbroke Island for the three-day Biology Camp. Activities included mangrove studies, meeting researchers from the Moreton Bay Research Station, and surveying the invertebrates of Brown Lake and 18 Mile Swamp. Students also studied rock platform inhabitants, sand inhabitants, bush rehabilitation, plankton and fish. The camp is a challenging academic experience, and once again the biologists rose to the occasion, working hard but with good humour into the late evening to analyse and interpret their field work.
YEAR 12 BIOLOGY CAMP The Year 12 Biology Camp to North Stradbroke Island was challenging and rewarding, as we marvelled at the complexities and adaptability that Mother Nature has instilled on a range of ecosystems. The camp included searching Brown Lake for invertebrates, exploring rocky shores at Polka Point and Deadman’s Beach, and discovering the world of the planktonic creatures that inhabit Moreton Bay. A particularly memorable moment was the fishing expedition on the final day. As the students ventured out into the depths, seine in hand, they waited in anticipation as to the haul that would be returned and were not disappointed!

SOSE REPORT M Kirk Astill Curriculum Coordinator SOSE (Years 7–12)
Helen Vendler, a Harvard University lecturer, describes the humanities as “essentially a reading practice… without reading, there can be no learning; without learning, there can be no sense of a larger world; without the sense of a larger world, there can be no ardor to find it; without ardor, where is joy?”

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
The SOSE subjects at Canterbury College offer the most encompassing and insightful view of the wider world, along with providing students with a strong repertoire of skills to equip them for the challenges of the 21st Century. The Middle and Senior SOSE team of teachers in 2013 again provided a dynamic environment for the students to thrive in. The move to the Australian Curriculum of History has now been implemented from Prep to Year 10. Assessment tasks and skills were streamlined with the aim of developing the students’ love for and interest in the subject matter. Units focused on the Ancient Past in Year 7, Medieval Societies in Year 8 and Modern Australia and Global History in Years 9 and 10. The Year 8 students thoroughly enjoyed their Medieval Day in Term 2 as they were exposed to some of the events and food from this period of history. The costumes and level of student engagement were a testament to the success of the day. The Year 9 students had the opportunity to visit the Ipswich Railway Museum, as part of their unit on The Industrial Revolution. Students viewed the exhibits and the impact of the railways in 1800’s Brisbane.
C URRI C UL UM RE P ORTS
Geography units in 2013 were also shaped by the new Australian Curriculum. Students from Years 7–12 focussed on their place within the natural environment and the vital issues surrounding sustainability. Year 7 students visited the Browns Plains Waste and Recycling Facility to develop an understanding of waste management in our local area. Year 9 students visited Springbrook National Park to study biomes and the natural environment. Year 10 students collected data on beach erosion and its subsequent effects at Kingscliff and Miami. Year 12 students headed to the Boondall Wetlands to see examples of biodiversity. They walked through the mangroves and wetlands to identify a variety of plant and animal species and participated in water quality testing and biodiversity identification activities. They also visited UQ Gatton campus as part of their unit on Global Food Security. They undertook a tour of the campus and listened to key researchers in the field talk about the issues affecting food security and the methods being implemented. Students studying Business and Legal Studies were given an insight into the structure of the financial world and the complexities of our legal
structure and processes. Legal Studies students attended the Brisbane Magistrates Courts where they sat in the gallery and were able to witness actual trials. Again, students competed in the Bond University Mooting Competition, in which four students argued the facts of their case at the Brisbane Court Complexes. The Year 9 Business Education students were engaged in a number of stimulating units throughout 2013 covering consumer education, financial literacy, basic accounting skills and marketing techniques. This was expanded in Year 10 with the use of MYOB account keeping software. Accounting students in Years 11 and 12 furthered this experience with financial analysis of company data. Certificate III in Business again proved popular with students as they had the opportunity to learn practical office management skills. 2013 has been a rewarding year for both staff and students involved in SOSE. These experiences, and subsequent student achievements, could not have been possible without the dynamic and dedicated teachers within the department.

SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT Mrs Deanne Hamilton Curriculum Coordinator Spiritual Development (K-Year 12)
Spiritual Development (SD) has undergone a facelift in 2013. Assessment in the Middle and Senior Schools was streamlined and linked directly to the College Charter of Values. A number of community and service opportunities have also been explored during class time and have been well received by students and the wider community. Snapshots include:
YEAR 8 CURRICULUM TRIAL – HPE AND SD One project in Year 8 caught the attention of the Anglican Schools Commission and was featured in the quarterly Experiri magazine. The program was developed after conversations with staff about making the curriculum “real” for the students. The result was linking the SD curriculum with the highly regarded Rock and Water program currently undertaken during HPE lessons. Students learn in the program that by using strength and intelligence, they can calmly choose their actions and responses to difficult situations. We then explored the power of their choices further during SD lessons. Having the strength to stand by your choices and defend your decisions can be hard. The Bible stories and passages studied highlighted to our students that they are not alone. A supportive curriculum and pastoral care team, with the Year Level Coordinator, guided students through physical activities and carefully selected focus questions. This brought their experiences together.
YEAR 9 – GIVING BACK One of our magnificent form/SD classes, led by Mrs Alex Patten, coordinated their very own collection for the St Mark’s Appeal. This collection, though, was one with a difference. The entire form class took the money contributed by the group to the local supermarket and did their very own shopping. They discussed, planned and used great negotiating skills to get the best products for the best price with the goal of making Christmas a wonderful time for those in need. There are many more changes on the way in 2014. Interactions between Senior and Junior School SD classes are high on the agenda, as is more real life curriculum links across all year levels. Values in Action will be our focus and I look forward to working with all students during their Spiritual Development lessons.
YEAR 12 – MAKING A DIFFERENCE Our Year 12 SD course during Term 3 is firmly focussed on giving back to the community. There were several planning sessions with the students and discussion often centred on how to give back in a meaningful way. We all understood that fundraising is important but raising awareness is just as important for organisations such as the Red Cross. A little bit of research and a visit from the ARC program coordinator meant that the students were acutely aware of the statistics. One in three people in their lifetime will need the services provided by the Red Cross yet only one in 30 people are regular donors. The solution was simple: Encourage students who were over 16 to register and even donate for the first time here on campus. But what about the students who could not donate? The answer: Blood Buds. Our keen Seniors promoted the concept of encouraging a family member to donate on these students’ behalf.

VISUAL ART REPORT Mrs Suzi Bennett Curriculum Coordinator Visual Art (Years 7-12)
2013 has been a very busy and exciting year for the Visual Art Department. Canterbury welcomed two new members to the Art team: Ms Lisa Muir and Mr Bryan Shephard. The year kicked off very quickly with the Year 11 and 12 Visual Art excursion to the Gallery of Modern Art (GOMA) in March to see APT7. This is the seventh Asia-Pacific Triennial Exhibition of contemporary art. Students always enjoy an inspirational and relaxing day at the gallery, but this time the students also particularly enjoyed the children’s area downstairs to make creative masks and assemblage sculptures. In April, artist Mr Lloyd Hornsby visited our Year 7 Art students who were studying Australian Indigenous Art. Mr Hornsby, whose tribal land is Wallaga Lake, shared his art and stories with us on the two days of this incursion. The artist’s tribal area is a lake that is also close to the ocean, so much of his artwork included animals such as fish and whales. The students had an opportunity to create their own piece of art by decorating a boomerang. Mr Hornsby demonstrated how to use various tools to create the dots used in his artwork. He calls himself a “stick artist” because he only ever uses the end of his paintbrush to create his dots, not the brush. We used the ends of pencils, paintbrushes and even kebab sticks for the more intricate tiny dots. Mr Hornsby shared with us different symbols that would be culturally appropriate for us all to try, and allowed students to experiment with colours and placement. The students gained a lot from this incursion by being able to work with a recognised contemporary artist as well as being able to authentically share in Indigenous culture. Mr Hornsby also had them excited about a prospective career in the arts with stories of how much his homework from university sold for. The Year 10, 11 and 12 students went on a Visual Art excursion to the annual Artwaves Exhibition at Logan Art Gallery in October. This is a fabulous exhibition of local student work from Logan and surrounding areas, and offers our students a rich experience seeing what their peers are creating at other schools. Year 10 students who are considering further study in Visual Art are also invited to attend this excursion every year. Four Canterbury students had their work selected for this prestigious exhibition.
Year 12 students whose artwork was selected for Artwaves in 2013 included Riley Forbes (Acrylic on Canvas), Heidi Perera (Acrylic on Canvas), Eliza-Grace Golden (Relief Mixed Media Piece) and Sarah Bernstein-Cunningham (Digital Image). The culmination of a year of creativity and hard work in the Visual Art Department was showcased at the biennial Visual Art Exhibition of Student Work which took place again at the Canterbury Fair in October. The two classrooms of H17 and H18 were transformed into a jam-packed visual spectacle of colourful and original creations from Years 7–12 Art students. Two and three-dimensional artworks were represented in the gallery space. A special guest was invited to judge the best artwork from each year level. Mrs Catriona Spendelove, a District Panel member for Visual Art in the Brisbane-West region, found it difficult to decide as there was such a variety of excellent work to choose from. Members of the College community and the general public who viewed the exhibition were also invited to vote for their favourite artworks in the Middle School and Senior School categories for the two People’s Choice Art Prizes. The exhibition was so well attended that, by the end of the day, we ran out of ballot papers.

Loud Lunches The Rock School performed during lunch recesses for Middle and Senior School students. They were well received. More to come in 2014.
Gala Concerts The Music Department’s Annual Gala Concerts were held in the Canterbury College Auditorium in the Arts Centre on Sunday 27 October. More than 300 students were featured in four concerts, with our choral and instrumental ensembles performing at their best. All four concerts were produced into a 2-DVD set.
Supporting College Events While the Music Department provided performance throughout the year at Chapel Services, Spirit Assemblies and Head’s Assemblies, during Term 4 significant musical support was given to the K-2 Celebration, Annual Excellence Awards evening and the Christmas Chapel.
Studio Music Program More than 400 students from Prep to Year 12 took lessons in the Studio Music program. Students received expert tuition from a specialist staff of teacher/ performers. Lessons were available for all band and orchestral instruments, voice, piano, dance and guitar, as well as speech, drama and communications.
More than 90 students completed Australian Music Examinations Board (AMEB) exams in 2013, with the majority of these students sitting the exams at Canterbury College in early November. The College also hosted a day of Trinity College London Speech, Drama and Communication exams with a few of the students scoring within the very top marks of Queensland.
Studio Music Concert Series I-IV Once a Term, more than 100 students performed across five to six mostly simultaneous concerts. These concerts featured students performing in their first concert alongside students who have become seasoned solo performers.

The Music Supporters’ Group provides parents with an outstanding way to demonstrate their support to the Music Department through active involvement in their children’s musical experiences. The group achieved much in 2013, through supporting numerous concerts with refreshments, organising and managing the majority of all non-musical logistics of the Gala Concerts, contributing significant funds for the purchase of the new Kawai grand piano housed in the Auditorium, and completing a major fund raising campaign. The Music Supporters’ Group is integral to the success of the Music program at Canterbury College.

GODSPELL A SPECT
GODSPELL MUSICAL Mr Iain Hogg Artistic Director
With just over 130 students involved, this year’s Musical proved to be the most technically challenging in Canterbury College history. The spectacle of Godspell was achieved through music, dance, lighting design, audio visual projections and costumes, which are all testimony to the depth of talent and dedication provided by students, parents and staff. With sincere gratitude, I acknowledge the expertise, support and creativity of my colleagues in the Music, Dance and Drama Departments and our team of supportive parents. All shared the love of a creative challenge and the opportunity to guide and nurture young artists to reach their full potential. These people sacrificed a lot to achieve it and, without them, a production like Godspell would not have been possible.

MISSION AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT REPORT Mrs Deanne Hamilton Director of Mission and Community
SCHOOL OF ST JUDE - FELIX VISITS CANTERBURY
In January, a group of very excited staff landed in Arusha, Tanzania. We met with the Education Secretary of the Anglican Diocese in Embu, Kenya, Mr Jimmy Gakuva and discussed possible partnerships with his regional schools. These exciting projects will be launched by our College Humanitarian and Service Captains early in 2014 and will involve students across the College. We also toured the School of St Jude. The strong message of “Fighting Poverty Through Education” is clear in every part of the campus; from student selection, to staff employment, to the emotional home visits. Gemma Sisia has built, with the support of thousands around the world, an amazing facility that is indeed training future leaders of the country. We were extremely fortunate to have one of the incredible characters we met visit us right here at Canterbury in September. Mr Felix Mollel, a Maasai warrior, is an inspirational man. He has shown great personal resilience and perseverance to become a visitor guide at the school. Mr Mollel left Tanzania for the first time in his life for this trip, boarding his first plane and seeing his first ocean. He, along with St Jude’s Director of International Relations Ms Kim Saville, were on a promotional tour, raising awareness and inspiring others to make a difference. I am sure the students who heard from Mr Mollel now have an even greater appreciation for the hardships faced but also the hope that exists for many young children in Tanzania due to the hard work of those at the School of St Jude.
RUN TO BETTER DAYS In July we were visited by a number of university students from North Queensland who were taking part in the Run to Better Days event. This journey supports the work of Caritas and involves a 1400km relay of runners, starting in Mackay and finishing at Coolangatta. The aim of the relay is to generate awareness and action towards the plight to end global poverty. The runners spoke with our future leaders about realistic opportunities that they have to make a difference. The group also presented at a Junior School Assembly to highlight just how affluent our society is and how quickly global poverty can be addressed if we work together.
RED CROSS – CLUB RED DONOR DAY The College has been a keen participator in the Australia-wide Club Red program for three years now, and once again the Donor Day on 20 September was extremely well supported by students and parents alike. Over 300 lives were saved in just one day! More importantly, a new group of community-minded young people are now committed to being regular donors.
FREE DRESS DAY – SUPPORTING THOSE IN NEED 2013 beneficiaries: Mater Foundation, Project Declan, AEIOU, Beyondblue, CanTEEN, Jeans For Genes Senior Leaders, with the help of Junior School Humanitarian Captains, chose a number of organisations to benefit from the funds raised during the 2013 free dress days. They chose groups that provide quality care programs and support to not only patients but also their families. Our students were determined to support groups where every dollar raised would count. Students and staff should be proud of their efforts in raising funds and, most importantly, awareness.
THAILAND During the September holidays, nine students and two staff, along with an Antipodean Leader, headed to Thailand. The trip had three core components: Project, Trek and Cultural Immersion. All logistics and activities were student-directed and therefore involved significant planning, budgeting and organising for the students to negotiate. The project was decided on after research and a needs analysis were completed on the area. It was crucial to include the use of local goods and services. Most of the labour was provided by the students; however, local tradespeople were also employed using the money raised. During our village stay, all food and transportation were supplied by the locals ensuring that work was being generated for those most in need. Our project was to provide a community meeting area. This space would allow the hilltribe children to be taught by the Pastor when the monsoons cut roads to the local school. It would also be a place for the villagers to congregate and store valuable stock. With the hall complete, the entire village came together to celebrate with a night full of food and dancing. The most amazing part of the evening, though, was when the group was lined up and each family came forward to offer gifts of thanks, bless us and pray for our health and safe travel. For the entire group this was an extremely emotional experience.

INNOVATIONS @ CANTERBURY The National Award-Winning program had another successful year, with groups reaching out to many local organisations. Our partnerships with Logan City Council, AWL, Little Paws, RSL, RSPCA, Life Education and Yirarra Mission School (to name a few) continue to grow, as do the exhibits. This year the brief was to ensure all student activities and display items were targeted at our main audience – the Junior School. Each group did an outstanding job meeting the brief and ensuring engagement at every display. It has been four wonderful years responding to the question “What do we value in our community?” and 2014 will be no different, except that there will be some exciting organisational changes designed to challenge our Year 9’s!
14 MINUTES OF SILENCE To launch the World Vision 40 Hour Famine, the Junior School students were challenged to “give up”...Give up play time and give up talking. More than 150 students took up the challenge and sat quietly in the CEC for 14 (very long) minutes. Many then continued with the theme and “gave up” other important items for 40 hours such as food, iPods, quad bikes and even their comfy bed, raising much-needed funds for World Vision.
DAY FOR DANIEL – HANDS UP FOR SAFETY Last year we were fortunate enough to have Mr Bruce and Mrs Denise Morcombe visit the College and discuss with students the importance of being aware of their environment and also having a plan if they ever felt unsafe. With the help of Junior School Humanitarian Captains and Senior Leaders, we continued to spread this message with a special Child Safety Assembly for all Junior School students. The Assembly included a “Walk for Daniel” where students were able to spend some moments reflecting on the safety message and speak with our Senior Leaders about these thoughts. It is important that students feel safe every day at the College. This was reinforced throughout the day with “red activities” in the Undercroft and Libraries. Our younger students spent time talking with teachers about the “5”. This is five people they can trust and that they can talk to if ever they feel unsafe. The vibrant “Hands Up for Safety” cutouts created by our Kindy and Prep students are constant reminders of how important it is to protect our children.

INTERNATIONAL REPORT Mrs Susan Walduck Director of International Programs
The International students at our College in 2013 have demonstrated a plethora of skills and character traits. In February, we learnt more about Chinese lifestyle through Chinese New Year celebrations. By drawing temporary tattoos in Japanese and Chinese symbols on volunteers’ arms at the Canterbury College Fair, the International students again shared their culture with us.
The International students at the College have been acknowledged on Assemblies for Academic Excellence in subjects across the board, including High Distinctions in both reading and listening in Chinese from the Assessment of Language Competence (ALC). The students were Kelly Feng, Tammie Ko and Ella Liu. The ALC is challenging for the students as it requires responses in English (to questions based on Chinese material) and making detailed justifications for their conclusions. Students have also been presented on Assembly for their sporting prowess on the court or field. Xian Feng has been granted a place in the Bachelor of Business program in 2014 at the Griffith University Logan Campus through the Griffith Connect Guaranteed Admission Scheme. The students have also enriched our classes in all subjects, but particularly in Japanese and Chinese. We have greatly benefitted from the knowledge that the International students share. Chaoxiang Zhang is to be commended for the leadership he has demonstrated, both formally within the College’s Prefect system and informally through his actions. He has also inspired some of our Year 11 International students to apply for College Leadership positions. Nariyoshi Miyata and Sally Sheng have been awarded the role of Prefects for 2014. We also welcomed short-term study experiences for students from Japan and China in 2013 and they have shared their culture with students throughout the College from Kindergarten to Year 12. We thank all of the short-term and long-term students from around the world for making our daily lives more interesting and enjoyable.

In this our second year of operation, the Photography Club expanded to include students from Years 7 to 12. Several video and still cameras were donated to the club and have been used extensively by club members.
Activities in 2013 included photographing bursting balloons, food colouring in water, and the College Dance Company.
One of the donated cameras was converted to full spectrum, allowing us to expand our view to include infra-red and ultra-violet parts of the spectrum.
The success of this group has in no small way been due to the enthusiasm of the students. Thank you to Ms Lisa Muir for her assistance and support this year.
Several students entered the Pixel Prize Photography Competition. Congratulations to Rachel van Luyn for winning First in her category with her photograph of a Blue-faced Honeyeater. We now have an extensive collection of resources available to members, including software tutorials, user manuals and technique instructions. Members can access these on the College intranet.

EXTRACURRICULAR DANCE REPORT Ms Amanda Waddell Curriculum Coodinator Dance (K-Year 12)
The Dance Company would like to thank our biggest supporters: our wonderful Dance Supporters Group of Mums and Dads, who give up their precious time to help support and build our program. We say goodbye to six of our members this year and we wish them all the best with their Dance careers and futures. Thank you to the Dance Company Captains of 2013 Karlea Lake, Zoe Logan, Kara Mallitt, Elizabeth McGahan and Georgia Sanderson (Year 12) for their support and hard work.
EXTRACURRICULAR DANCE ENSEMBLE DANCE COMPANY
The Canterbury College Dance Company performed and competed at several different Eisteddfods, receiving a Highly Commended at the Brisbane Performing Arts Challenge (BPAC) in Term 2 and again at the Gold Coast Eisteddfod in Term 3. The girls performed four routines at these competitions - People Help The People, Get Out Of Your Mind, Mercy and Proud Mary. Through Dance Company, students are given the opportunity to work with like-minded people who live and breathe Dance. Kirsten Gierke’s (Year 11) knowledge of hip-hop was evident with her choreography of Get Out Of Your Mind and Georgia Sanderson (Year 12) choreographed a tap piece to Ghost Busters. A very big congratulations to the tappers in Ghost Busters as they learnt and polished this highly entertaining number in only three rehearsals, which is an amazing feat. They also switched on their incredible retention skills for the Annual Excellence Awards (AEA), where they performed three numbers including the opening Magical Mystery Tour, Hide and Seek and a combined number with the cast of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. What was truly awe-inspiring was the time in which these wonderful dancers learnt these new pieces. They spent over 17 hours of rehearsal time polishing these routines ready for the night.
The Dance Ensemble, established in 2009, has grown within the College and has given many students the opportunity to experience Dance in a fun and positive environment. Since then it has grown in strength and numbers, and as each year passes the group adds to its log of annual events. At the biennial Canterbury Fair, the group made up a majority of the Canterbury College Flash Mob that opened the entertainment for the day. These students have developed a deep respect for each other, with Middle and Senior School students working together. A Little Party and the Flash Mob were two of the pieces that this enthusiastic group performed at various events throughout the year. Many memories, good fun and lots of dancing were experienced throughout the year and it will be an even greater time in 2014.
JUNIOR SCHOOL DANCE Kindy Dance, managed by Ms Storme Sheldon-Collins and Georgia Sanderson, had a very successful year with their piece Walk the Dinosaur. The two JDance groups, with the help of Mrs Tammi Cooper and Ms Juanita Carlson, learnt two pieces: Ready or Not, choreographed by Emily Pluckrose and Rebekka Schulze (Year 12), and Party in the USA, choreographed by Kara Mallitt and Karlea Lake. Both the Kindy Dance and JDance groups made appearances at the Under 8’s Day and the K- 2 Celebration Evening. Junior Steppers, under the direction of Ms Emily Nolde, had several opportunities over the year to test their performance abilities. Performing The 80’s Mash Up at Spirit Assembly, and again at the Canterbury Fair, these budding little performers proved they were ready to join the big kids at the annual College Dance Night. These girls performed three numbers and they were a smash hit. We look forward to working with them again.
AWARD WINNERS AND FUTURE DANCERS Congratulations to Zoe Logan and Georgia Sanderson for receiving the top Dance Awards at the AEA, with Zoe receiving the top Year 12 Dance Academic Award and Georgia receiving the highly-coveted En Pointe Award. Both ladies have been successful in their respective auditions at the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) and Australian Dance Performance Institute (ADPI), and Georgia has accepted a full-time Dance position with ADPI to commence in 2014.
THE DANCE STAFF The Dance Department has been involved in many events this year and it could certainly not be possible without the dedication of some wonderful staff. A very special and heartfelt thank you to Mr Iain Hogg (Years 9 and 10 Dance), Ms Emily Nolde (Junior Steppers), Ms Juanita Carlson and Mrs Tammi Cooper (JDance) and Ms Storme Sheldon-Collins (Kindy Dance) who never tire of hard work and always promote the ever-growing opportunities that we offer for the students in Dance. Their outstanding work and dedication to the students of Canterbury do not go unnoticed and it has been a pleasure working beside them throughout the year. To all the students in Dance, congratulations on a fantastic year and get ready for more fun packed adventures, experiences and opportunities in 2014!

Theatresports is a form of improvisational theatre, which uses the format of a competition for dramatic effect. Opposing teams perform scenes based on audience suggestions within the constraints of Improvised Drama Games, which are then rated by a panel of judges. Every team is expected to play one game from each time category of one, two, three and four-minute game lengths. They are not allowed to repeat a game already played. Teams are judged for each game and are matched against the criteria of Technique (whether the team followed the rules of the game and the Theatresports 10 Commandments), Story (whether the scene had a plot line), and Entertainment Value (whether the scene, in the judges’ opinion, was entertaining).
Canterbury College’s participation in the 2013 competition was successful and we are very proud of the Drama students in Years 10, 11 and 12 who have been directly involved. This year, Canterbury College entered one team in the Preliminary Finals, held here at Canterbury College in March - The Stunners (Brooke Pelizzari, Lauren Steiner (Year 12), Sofia Devita (Year 11), Jett Smith, and Adrian Garcia (Year 10)). The Stunners were successful in their heat and advanced themselves to the Quarter-Finals, also held here at Canterbury College.
P-2 DRAMA CLUB A new initiative in 2013, run by the talented and passionate Miss Brittany Taylor, the P-2 Drama Club gave some of the youngest members of the Canterbury family a chance to fire up their dramatic flair in a weekly workshop format. Given its success so far, I look forward to seeing what the Club comes up with in 2014.
THE DRAMA STAFF As a new Curriculum Coordinator at Canterbury College, there is no way 2013 could have been as successful if it was not for the assistance and support of the staff I was fortunate enough to work with. A very special and heartfelt thank you to Ms Amanda Waddell, whose constant support and guidance has been of immense help and assistance to me. I also extend my thanks and support to Mrs Alex Patten, Ms Emily Nolde and Mrs Mafalda Stevenson for their efforts teaching Drama in the Junior School. To all the students in Drama, congratulations on a fantastic year. 2014 is sure to be an even more impressive and exciting year, and I look forward to seeing what the talented students of Canterbury come up with next.

SOUND TEAM REPORT David Kindness (2013 Stage Crew Captain)
The Sound and Audio Visual Team of Jake Bell and Alex Palbas (Sound Captain), David Kindness (Stage Captain), Evan Hughes (Lighting Captain), Lauren Bucksath (AV/Special Effects Captain), James Stacey, Dylan Stewart (Year 12), Savannah Walker, Joshua McDowell (Year 11), Alex Kerr, Jason Chaffey, Jake Keeble (Year 10) and Jack Hagan (Year 9) have maintained a high standard of work and professionalism across the various College events throughout 2013. Whether it was chapels, assemblies, concerts, or major College events, the Sound Team is always the first to arrive and the last to leave, completing long and often strenuous hours to ensure the smooth completion of all Canterbury College events. All members of the crew have shown their extreme dedication to each other and to the College by giving up their free time, either before or after school and in some instances their weekends, to ensure that all events are set up and operated effectively.
Under the guidance of Mr Iain Hogg and Miss Mikaela Murphy, Performance Lighting and Sound (PLS) and ETETC, the Sound Team have spent countless hours expanding their knowledge and refining their skills whilst continuing to meet the high academic and extracurricular standards set by the College. As well as the various College events, four members of the team successfully completed school-based traineeships, earning a Certificate III in Live Production, Theatre and Events, showing extra dedication to improve the standard of work produced by all members of the group. The tireless work the crew completes is of great importance to the College, and each crew member is to be commended on the dedication and time they put into the various College events. They have dealt with stressful situations while maintaining positive attitudes and reinforcing the strong relationships they have formed with each other. The 2013 College Musical Godspell was a huge success due to the contribution of many of the Sound Team members and Performance Lighting and Sound staff. The technical side of the musical brought the show to life with a magnificent lighting show created by Evan Hughes (Year 12 student and Lighting Designer). The on-stage efficiency and sound production from David Kindness (Assistant Stage Manager), Dylan Stewart, Alex Palbas, James Stacey and Jack Hagan (Stage Crew) and Jake Bell (Sound Assistant) under the direction of Mr Iain Hogg (Director) and Mr Matthew Kopelke (Stage Manager) ensured a safe environment for performers and quality sound for the audience. They were assisted by past students and crew members Miss Mikaela Murphy and Miss Laura Richardson in the lead up to opening night. The Sound and Audio Visual Team is looking forward to another exciting year full of events at Canterbury College in 2014, and with the addition of many promising new members and growing interest from many other students, the team will be able to continue to produce high-quality events for the College community to enjoy in the years to come.

As Coach of the Year 7 Debating Team, I commend all of its members on a good year. While our wins were not numerous, everyone learnt a great deal.
We learnt not just about the art of debating but also about Barbie being an icon, abolishing state governments, pop stars setting a bad example and about schools teaching “street smarts”. Our team of Madison Lloyd (Most Valuable Debater), Gloria Murray (Most Improved Debater), Mark Huth, Riley North and James Asher all worked together very well. While rebuttal was our Achilles’ heel, we all enjoyed the brainstorming, preparation and the actual debates. Many thanks to a terrific group of very supportive parents. Roll on 2014!

DEBATING REPORT Mr Iain Hogg Circuit Debating Coordinator
Canterbury College had yet another successful Debating year in 2013, taking home two competitions overall. The Year 5, 6 and 7 teams learnt many new skills in the Queensland Debating Union (QDU) competition, and many of these students have voiced their interest in continuing, having enjoyed the experience so much. Canterbury was successful in winning the Circuit Debating Competition against John Paul College, Corinda State High and St Paul’s, with the Year 8A, Year 9 and Year 11 teams topping the leader board in their respective age categories. Year 9 and 12 students involved in the Beenleigh Rotary Club Debating competition were also victorious, winning for the first time since 2008. In 2013, the Simpson Family Shield for Middle School Debating was awarded to Year 9 student Corey Correa, while the Alysa Simpson Memorial Shield for Senior School Debating went to the 2013 Debating Captain, Maddison King. All students involved are to be congratulated on their individual and joint efforts in 2013, and thanks is also extended to their teachers and coaches for their time, dedication and commitment throughout the year.

YEAR 8 CIRCUIT DEBATING TEAM REPORT Mrs Gemma Cardillo Coach The 8A Team had a successful year, winning the 8A Circuit Competition. The team of Shayne Andersen, Heilyn Bonquin and Molly Carter became a strong unit as the year progressed, cementing their preferred speaking roles and improving their skills with each round. The confidence and finesse they displayed throughout the year impressed many of the adjudicators. The teamwork and solidarity shown by these students was second to none and gave them the ability to develop engaging, persuasive and entertaining speeches round after round, with little assistance from their coach. These students have a bright future in Debating ahead of them. Special mention goes to Molly who was awarded the Most Improved Debater and to Heilyn who was our Most Valuable Debater. The 8B Team of Katherine Firth, Georgia Lovelock and Ashleigh North also did an excellent job this year. They tackled some very challenging topics ranging from social media to leadership to the role of assessment within schools. They displayed a positive attitude, working well together throughout the year by encouraging one another and sharing the workload. They steadily improved round by round which bodes well for 2014 as they embark on the Year 9 Circuit Competition. Ashleigh is to be congratulated for being awarded Most Valuable Debater and Georgia was named Most Improved Debater.
YEAR 9 CIRCUIT DEBATING TEAM REPORT Mrs Simone Hartley Year 9 Coach The Year 9 Circuit Debating Team experienced a year of growth and development in 2013. Long-serving debaters Akshaya Ajit, Alexander Asher, Corey Correa, Eva Murray, Alaina Warwick and Sophie Wells were again key members of the team. Regular meetings with their coach before debates certainly consisted of some robust discussion about the debate topics and the best strategies to employ to annihilate the opposition. During the 2013 Circuit Debating season, the team argued a variety of topics, ranging from “That drug cheats should be banned for life” to “That Australians should vote directly for the Prime Minister”. During each debate, the team presented well-structured arguments and detailed evidence to support their cases. Adjudicators were always quick to praise the team for their strong rebuttal and the engaging delivery of their speeches. However, the real success of the Year 9 Team stems from their desire to work together, to help each other with speech development and to support each other during the debates. As a result of such a strong team focus, the Year 9 Circuit Debating Team won their age category. Congratulations.

YEAR 10 CIRCUIT DEBATING TEAM REPORT Ms Jacinta Cain Coach The Year 10 Junior A Debating Team of Conor Anglim, Kevin Fung, Alex Kerr, Lisa Kerr, Courtney Kwan and Jodie Muller did an excellent job in 2013. They covered some very challenging topics, such as “That leadership is innate, not late”, “That being famous is better than being clever” and “That children are too soft these days”. The students assisted each other with speech development and rebuttal tips, and showed their support and group camaraderie by being present at as many debates as possible, either as timekeeper, chairperson or audience member. They displayed an excellent attitude and it was great to see the humour they brought to their speeches. The team is definitely ready for short-prep debates in 2014. They have practised enough. Specific mention must be made of Connor and Jodie for winning Best Speaker Awards during the season, and for sharing the Most Valuable Debater prize for 2013. Lisa was awarded the Most Improved.
YEAR 11 CIRCUIT DEBATING TEAM REPORT Mrs Rosemary Powell Coach Sarah Corbet, Kristin Magarry, Aayushi Mathur, Victoria Munro and Darren Sharma secured an emphatic win in the 2013 Year 11 Circuit Debating Competition. This team really enjoyed its debating and the students worked so well together. They won five of the six available Best Speaker Awards during the season, of which Kristin won three and Aayushi won two. Adjudicators have praised the students for their wonderful use of language, stunning vocabulary, intelligent arguments, entertaining delivery and commanding performances. On one occasion, the middleaged adjudicator commented that he was almost afraid to look Aayushi in the eye because of the passion in her delivery. Darren should be congratulated for his success in this his first season of debating. The Most Valuable Debater was awarded to Kristin and the Most Improved Debater was Victoria. All these students have been a joy to coach and I look forward to more debating fun in their final year of schooling.
YEAR 12 CIRCUIT DEBATING TEAM REPORT Maddison King Debating Captain 2013 The Year 12 Debating Team enjoyed success in both the Rotary and Circuit Competitions in their final year. 2013 saw the nine debaters (Jessica Barker, Lauren Bucksath, Riley Forbes, Eleanor Hilston, Emma Kerr, Maddison King (Captain), Rhiannon Nind, Amelia Norton and Ebony Williams) work together diligently and intelligently to achieve three
Best Speaker Awards and five wins in the Circuit Competition. Topics were always a philosophical or intellectual challenge, with arguments including “That Stephanie Meyer is more relevant than Shakespeare” and “That we should replace a friend with a better iPhone”. In the Rotary Competition, the team competed several times, with a variety of wins and losses that eventually saw them in the Final against Calvary Christian College. For this debate, held at the Beenleigh RSL, the team argued the negative side of the topic “That children can change the world” and emerged victorious. This not only gave the team an overall victory, but also assisted in fundraising efforts for Rotary International’s Polio Prevention campaign. Most of these nine students have completed five successful years of debating at Canterbury and have thoroughly enjoyed their time, under the direction and leadership of Debating Coordinator Mr Iain Hogg, since 2009.
ROTARY DEBATING COMPETITION REPORT Mr Tim Ballam-Cross Rotary Debating Coach For the first time since 2008, a Canterbury College Debating Team has won the Rotary High Schools Debating Competition. The Year 9 and the Year 12 Rotary Debating Teams both enjoyed several successes during the season. The two teams ended the competition in joint Second Place, with only the number of Best Speaker wins able to separate them. In the Rotary Debating Competition Final, the Year 12 team presented the negative case of the topic “That children can change the world”. Jessica Barker, Eleanor Hilston and Rhiannon Nind, assisted by Debating Captain Maddison King, argued strongly that children cannot change the world. In addition to the team’s winning the debate, Rhiannon was chosen unanimously by the Adjudicators for the Best Speaker Award. Without the assistance of other debaters such as Riley Forbes and Ebony Williams, however, as well as Year 11 students Kristin Magarry, Victoria Munro and Darren Sharma, who took over from the Year 12 students at a particularly hectic time, the Year 12 Team would not have enjoyed so successful a season. Eleanor clearly deserved her award as the Most Improved Debater in the team, while Maddison was clearly the Most Valuable Team Member. The Year 9 Rotary Debating Team grew in numbers and confidence during the season and produced some exciting and unexpected wins against teams much older than themselves – including our own Year 12 Team. New talent such as Lena Kotykhov and Hamza Malik emerged during the season, while more experienced debaters Jackson Balme, Adrian Cryer and Melanie McLachlan contributed well to the team’s successes. Derin Paulson was outstanding in the final debates and thoroughly deserved her award as the Most Improved Debater in the team, while Nicholas Garai and Hannah Jacobs, who contributed so much to our team meetings and debates, were the obvious choice to share the Most Valuable Team Member Award.

THE DARK SIDE REPORT Mr David Ilsley The Dark Side Coordinator
The Dark Side is a group of Canterbury students interested in astronomy, and in some cases Star Wars. In 2013 we met every Friday after school in the Senior Library. Numbers at meetings ranged from 40 to 70, and well over 100 different students attended at some stage during the year. The meetings generally had two parts. In the first part we shared interesting news and announcements as well as planned for future events. The second part varied from week to week and involved either a Space Facts presentation in which members learnt about some aspect of astronomy, a competition or quiz game, a video, or individual Internet research and production of slideshows. In addition to the afternoon meetings, there were a number of evening and weekend events. In Term 2 we held a movie marathon and watched
106
CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
the entire Star Wars series over three weeks. In Term 3 we visited the Brisbane Planetarium to watch shows entitled Cosmic Collisions and Dynamic Earth. In Term 4 we held our annual Family Night in which members presented various slideshows, videos, information sessions, competitions, and dramatic performances to the assembled family members. Extracurricular badges, certificates and trophies were awarded. This was then followed by a sausage sizzle and some star gazing with the help of members of the South East Queensland Astronomical Society and their special telescopes. Among the awards presented at the Family Night were the Cosmic Shield for the Dark Side members with the most astronomical knowledge, which was awarded to Lachlan McAlpine and Kameka Claffey, and the Galactic Shield for the members with the best attendance records. This was awarded to Nicola Cain, Monique Wisnewski and Jacob Bahr, each with perfect attendance for the year. 2013 saw three new teachers turn to the Dark Side. Mr Graham Burvill and I were joined at the beginning of the year by Ms Alia Brown and then Mrs Donna-Marie Forsyth. I have been with the Dark Side since its inception in 2010, but I am taking leave in 2014 and Mrs Reina Mesina is taking my place. As a result of fund-raising activities undertaken over the years, there are sufficient funds in the Dark Side account to buy a sophisticated telescope with computerised equatorial power drive. This will be in addition to our collection of 14 smaller telescopes which have been acquired over the years. This telescope will automatically locate and follow objects of interest and will allow us to carry out some serious astro-photography. It is hoped that we take delivery of the new telescope in early 2014.

WELLBEING REPORT Mr Anthony Hillier Staff and Student Wellbeing Officer
The 2013 Wellbeing program at Canterbury College continued to focus on three dimensions of Wellbeing which included the Social, Emotional and Physical Dimensions. Some of the many activities available to staff this year included the Kokoda Challenge, Gold Coast running events, Bridge to Brisbane 10 km event, Mooloolaba Triathlon, Adidas Fun Run, boot camps, mountain biking, pottery and wood working classes, the Running Club, staff morning teas, 10,000 Steps program, massages and Kindness Cards.
In March, a dedicated staff team of Ms Kathy Simpson, Mr Ian Lees and myself competed in the Mooloolaba Triathlon. Mr Glen Walker also completed as an individual. In hot, windy conditions, the Canterbury College staff pushed themselves to the limit to record some very competitive results. 2014 looks even stronger with the entry of three teams, one each from the Junior, Middle and Senior Schools. In July, numerous staff completed the Kokoda Challenge as the leaders of five student teams which trekked the 48 or 96km events. This was a very good team-building challenge which allowed the staff and students to demonstrate their resilience to the elements and gave students an opportunity communicate and get to know their teachers outside the College campus. The Bridge to Brisbane was again a popular event for staff to represent the College and challenge themselves. We had over 25 staff participate in 2013. There was much discussion in the lead-up to and following the event regarding training techniques, goals and morning group runs. Kindness Cards were introduced by Ms Michelle Sams during the year. These are given for random acts of kindness to staff who go above and beyond in their support of others. Throughout the year many Kindness Cards were distributed to staff for their good work and support of each other. This initiative allows staff to thank their colleagues.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
Staff were involved in the Wellbeing Initiative where they could earn points for prizes based on the number of activities they participated in. Some of the events included socialising at the Canterbury Café or attending a staff boot camp after school, the 10,000 Steps program and many more physical, social or emotional activities and events. During this initiative more than 100 staff participated. The overall winners in 2013 were Mr Alan Lyle and Mr Tory Mills. During the year, Canterbury College as an Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ) Lighthouse School held a conference on Wellbeing to showcase our College and our wellbeing program. During this conference I was supported by Ms Sams in presenting to the forum of schools what we do at Canterbury to support staff and how we go about it. The presentation was well received by all visiting schools. In Term 4, I presented at the ISQ Safety Conference on the Canterbury College Wellbeing program and had the honour of being the final presenter of the conference. This presentation was given to demonstrate the importance of safety in schools, especially staff safety. “A wellness workplace culture provides an environment where wellness activities become part of the daily routine”. (Dr Don Ardell) At Canterbury College we are aiming for a culture which embraces initiatives to support staff wellbeing.

JUNIOR SPORT REPORT Mr Rob Nolte Director Junior Sport
In 2013, the Canterbury College Junior Sport program presented all students from Preparatory to Year 6 with an abundance of sporting and extracurricular opportunities.
QUEENSLAND SCHOOL SPORT In 2013, there were many Canterbury College students selected to represent the District, Region and State through the Queensland School Sport system. Canterbury College Junior Sport students gained an extraordinary number of places in these representative teams. In 2013, 67 Canterbury College students were selected in District teams (up from 27 in 2012). Of these 67, five students went one step further, representing the South Coast Region at Queensland School Sport State Championships and one student gained selection in the Queensland School Sport team (Sarah Grove, Year 6 Girls’ Cricket).

Canterbury College placed three very strong teams in the competition, with many members of these teams gaining selection in the Beenleigh District Hockey Team. All students learnt many new skills, strategies and rules of Hockey. In a remarkable feat, the Year 6 Hockey Team achieved an undefeated season. There was no doubting the courage, perseverance and enthusiasm that these students presented to their coaches Mr Kai Waller, Ms Georgia Richardson, Mrs Catherine Matthews and Mrs Joanne Fraser. We look forward to the 2014 season and revisiting the promise that has been shown by these students.

SENIOR SPORT REPORT Mr David Howells Director of Sport
The 2013 sporting year at Canterbury College can be classified as successful on many fronts, with mass participation, collective and individual triumphs and notable accomplishment across all TAS and Non-TAS Sports. The College proudly once again finished the year with all Trimester sports in the TAS Blue Division, whilst the culture of excellence and school spirit was routinely on display on and off the sporting field. An extracurricular program the size of the one in play at Canterbury College continues to benefit from the committed and unreserved involvement from coaching staff. This integral component of our Sports program continues to provide the avenue for notable skill development, improved game sense and awareness, and a strong willingness for students to play sport for their school. As is the norm for any school-based sports program, the parent body must be acknowledged for their logistical support and guidance throughout the year. Whether it be driving to early morning training sessions, fixtures at St Columban’s or St Paul’s, scoring First XI cricket matches, towing boat trailers, coordinating barbecues or coaching our teams – a big thank you to you all. Beyond these achievements, many highlights permeated the sporting landscape at Canterbury in 2013. These include: yy Excellent Participation: Over 80 TAS teams were filled throughout Trimesters 1, 2 and 3 yy Five TAS Blue Premierships were won – Year 10 Boys’ Basketball, Year 10 Boys’ Rugby, Year 8 Girls’ Tennis, Year 9 Girls’ Tennis and Year 8 Girls’ Hockey yy Over 80 District School Sport Representations (Pacific District and Independent District) yy Over 30 South Coast School Sport Regional Representations

yy Profound success in the Non-TAS Sport pathway: Cheerleading (State Medals), Equestrian (National Qualification) and Rowing (State Championship attendance) yy Through the school sport pathway, three students competed at the National Championship level yy Tianah List: Queensland Heptathlon Champion and Bridget O’Brien: National Under 17 Basketball Squad Over 80 teams had the fortune of representing Canterbury College throughout 2013, through a mixture of TAS and Non-TAS Sports pathways. In 2013, 17 sporting activities were offered to the College student body. These included Cricket, Volleyball, Tennis, Basketball, Rugby, Netball, Hockey, Touch Football, Soccer, Swimming, Cross Country, Athletics, Cheerleading, Rowing, Equestrian, Futsal and Gym.
TAS Within the TAS system, the College competed with great merit within the Blue Division for Trimesters 1, 2 and 3. Competing in the TAS Blue Division once again proved challenging; however, it is becoming clear that a sense of belonging and belief is permeating our teams on the sporting pitch. Congratulations again to the five teams who claimed well-deserved and hard-fought TAS Blue Premierships. Beyond the premierships, congratulations to the Canterbury Girls’ Hockey, Girls’ Tennis and Girls’ Touch Football teams who notably increased their respective season win percentages when compared to previous seasons. A direct correlation can be seen between these results and the following attributes: keen staff, committed students, and an effective training and competition structure. The TAS Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals provided an opportunity for the combined boys’ and girls’ squads to unite and compete against the 13 schools in the TAS competition. The Swimming Team placed a creditable Fifth place in the Red Division (only 50 points behind Second place), the Athletics Team placed an outstanding Fourth place in TAS Blue Division whilst the Cross Country Team placed a solid Fifth in the Blue Division Cross Country Carnival. These results reflected great training attendance from all staff and students throughout the season and a realisation that Canterbury can be competitive in the premier division of TAS organisation.

They included Mitchell Fekete, Tianah List, Robert Joseph, Bradley Kemp, Ula Motuga, Jarrod Nuttall, Jayne Russell, Darren Pereira, Caitlin McQuilkin-Bell and William Glass. At the Queensland Championships, the Canterbury College athletes performed exceptionally against the best track and field competitors from around the State. Congratulations to the following students who claimed medals against very strong opposition: yy Mitchell Fekete: Gold – Under 14 Hammer Throw; Silver – 13 years Discus yy Caitlin McQuilkin-Bell: Silver – 16 years Girls 800m yy Tianah List: Bronze – 15 years Javelin

Subsequently, Mitchell was chosen in the Queensland Team to contest the National Championships in Townsville. At this prestigious event, Mitchell gave a sensational performance, claiming a Gold Medal, a Silver Medal and a National Record. Mitchell claimed the National Title and National Record in the Under 14 Hammer Throw, whilst he claimed Second Place in the Under 14 Discus. These outstanding results capped off a successful year for Mitchell and with 2014 and beyond providing opportunities for National representation, his future looks very bright in the Field Athletics arena. The major highlight for the Athletics Team was the 2013 TAS Athletics Championships. On the back of a solid training effort, the team finished Fourth which is a great result in the competitive Blue Division. The team worked extremely hard with some people competing in up to 10 events on the day. It was great to see the spirit and effort from the Canterbury athletes. We showed we will grow in the coming years as a force to be reckoned with, as many of the younger students dominated their events, including Tianah List who was Age Champion of the Under 15 Girls age group. Thank you to Mr Howells, whose tireless work over the years has brought Canterbury Athletics to the strong state it is in today. He has continually encouraged, coached and inspired all of the athletes to do better and try their hardest in everything they do. From his “short” speeches to the group to his quick chats after training, he has been there all the way since Year 8. His positive attitude and encouragement has really rubbed off on the team, and has pushed us all to do things we normally would not. For me (Robert Joseph), as an unfit shot putter, running the 100m relay at last year’s TAS event was a great experience and it will remain one of my favourite memories of Athletics at Canterbury. Finally, congratulations to Year 10 student Tianah List for claiming the Gold Medal at the Queensland Heptathlon Athletics Championships. Competing against the best multi-eventers in the State, Tianah finished strongly taking out the title and in the process claiming a new personal best by over 200 points. The Heptathlon consists of seven events, performed over two days of competition. The skill and discipline to excel at seven track and field events is phenomenal and is certainly a reflection of Tianah’s dedication and skill in this area. This performance has also qualified Tianah for competition at the 2014 National Championships.

The First V Boys’ Basketball Team had an excellent season in 2013. Despite losing all but two players from last year’s team, the group blended extremely well to put on some impressive performances throughout the season. In all but two games we finished within 10 points of our highly credentialed opponents; a true testament to our never-say-die attitude. Having qualified in Sixth position, we went into the playoff for Fifth as underdogs. Having been beaten by the same team earlier in the season, it was always going to be a big challenge. However, in what could only be described as incredible the boys played their best game of the season, shutting the opposition out to keep them scoreless until the third quarter. On the back of their defensive effort the boys coasted to a comfortable win to finish the season in Fifth position.
The Second V in 2013 finished overall Fifth in a tough competition. The team had a mixture of skills and abilities but the keys were a high level of enthusiasm and an ability to play with heart. Our season featured strong training attendance and players genuinely enjoyed the team environment, even when we had taken a loss the previous weekend. Scoring baskets was always an issue in each game, and our main points came when we worked well as a group and either laid up the ball from a fast break or executed a series of passes and got a short shot under the basket. Our wins came when our combinations fell into place and the training drills kicked in. Thanks to the many parents and supporters who gave us week-to-week encouragement.

Mr David Howells Director of Sport
Mrs Joanne Fraser Manager
The Year 10 Boys’ Basketball Team had a stellar season, with a TAS Blue Division Premiership the reward for hard work and discipline throughout the year. This team has now become the most successful in the history of Canterbury College Basketball, winning three years in a row – a hattrick of premierships! The team was comprised of experienced players along with new and developing students. Together the chemistry gelled well to produce a polished performance throughout the eight-game TAS season. Well done to all players and support staff for their contribution and it is hoped that this level of performance is shifted into the Open Basketball program over the next few years.
What a great season for the Year 8 Boys Basketball Team! They came Fifth this season but that does not reflect how well this team played. Each game was hard fought with a never-say-die attitude. The top teams quickly realised that Canterbury were not going to be a walkover. From the beginning, the team proved to be a good defensive side denying their opponents opportunities to score and causing many turnovers. As the season went on and with the coach Liz Fiveash’s excellent tuition, the team maintained their defensive game as well as increased the percentage of shots that scored. All players improved their shooting percentage this season and learnt they could trust and rely on their teammates. On many an occasion an intercept from a Canterbury player looked more like an AFL mark as they put their bodies on the line to gain possession of the ball. It is a pity the season is so short, as the team was starting to understand and implement offensive and defensive strategies. Hopefully, the team will continue to build on these skills.
YEAR 9 Mr David Howells Director of Sport The Year 9 Boys’ Basketball Team had a tough season, with the great promise shown in the pre-season unfortunately not replicated in the game setting. It was clear that the team had exceptional chemistry on and off the court; however deficiencies in fundamental skill were exposed when up against strong opposition. To their credit, the boys never gave up and always played strongly throughout all four quarters. In the end, the highlight of the season was a narrow win in Round 3, which provided the team with great enthusiasm for the remainder of the season. Special mention to Jackson Rule for his strong contribution throughout all aspects of the game and for his capacity to guide the team through offensive and defensive strategies.
YEAR 7 Mr David Howells Director of Sport The Year 7 Boys’ Basketball Team had an exceptional season with all players clearly improving on their individual fundamental skills throughout the nine weeks of competition. One of the strengths of this side was the great chemistry between all players and their willingness to learn. The team also benefited from the great tutelage of their coach Mr Jarrod Borland and from the involvement of Basketball Coordinator Mr Brett Bennett. The team placed Fourth overall with several wins and a few narrow losses. For a team with many players who were new to the game, the skill level and game awareness that were on display towards the end of the season certainly bodes well for an exciting 2014 and beyond.

What another amazing year for the First V Girls’ Basketball Team. After a successful 2012 season, expectations were high. Although we had a strong start, our goal of reaching the Premiership playoffs became harder to achieve when key players were struck down with long-term injuries. To the team’s credit, they never let their intensity drop and managed to come away with some very close wins against determined opposition throughout the middle and latter half of the season. Full credit must go to the new members of the team who, despite limited experience, still managed to make very valuable contributions when it mattered most. Because of everybody’s contribution and the never-say-die attitude, we managed to go through the entire season with only one loss. This set up a Premiership showdown, and even though the opposition went into the game strong favourites they did not count on the fighting spirit Canterbury would demonstrate throughout the game. The opposition had to play hard for every point and at times they struggled to contain our scorers. Thank you to Rhiannon Nind and Jayde Marton, who finish up this year, and a special thank you to our Captain Brooke Pelizzari who finishes having played for the First V Team for the last four seasons.
Congratulations to all the girls of the Second V Basketball Team. There were some close games and some very tough games, but through it all the team remained resilient and never stopped giving it their all. Even under the most difficult of circumstances it was easy to tell that every player was committed and passionate about being on the court. The skills and knowledge that each member of the team gained throughout the season is a credit to their desire and ability to learn. Most impressive of all, from day one, was the cohesion and team spirit that the girls displayed in everything they did.

The TAS Basketball Season was a challenging one for the Year 10 Girls’ Basketball Team. The team struggled at times but throughout the season the girls never gave up and continuously played hard for the College, their coach and themselves. The contribution by Ajiah-Liric Pepe and Haylani Kuruppu was substantial, as their experience and profound skill level influenced the scoreboard on many occasions. The team finished a solid Fourth place after a narrow loss in the play-off for Third. This loss was made even more heart breaking by the fact that the Canterbury girls had beaten the same team just the week before. We look forward to our girls having a strong representation in the Open Teams over the next two years.
The Year 9 Girls’ Basketball Team, Captained by Brierley Richardson, did themselves proud this season by playing with tremendous spirit against some very well-credentialed sides. The team consisted of nine equally enthused and motivated students. The girls showed their determination and strength each week, with the title of “underdog” on their shoulders and winning most of their games by no more than one point. A tie in their Finals meant they finished a fantastic season placing Third overall in Blue Division! Fighting hard every game to get the ball up court was Sarah Blomeyer, whose ball handling skills were exemplary. Taylor Bebendorf and Mikayla Knight both stood out in defence, shutting down anyone who penetrated into the keyway. Fi Allabadlah and Velda Ciza were tenacious in fighting for every loose ball, often resulting in crucial points which were game-deciding. Special mention to Jayne Russell whose presence on court was critical, rebounding every shot available and often only receiving a rest when the game had finished. Finally, the Most Valuable Player Rachel Hunt scored a very high percentage and demonstrated skills well beyond her years. Congratulations girls on an outstanding season and I look forward to even better things in 2014.

What a great year for the Year 8 TAS Girls’ Basketball Team! High hopes were held for this team, as they were composed of several experienced and skilled players, along with many talented athletes; a great combination for a Basketball team. Throughout the season the girls put together many polished performances which resulted in only one loss in the regular season. Beyond the extensive contributions of Ula Motuga and Hazel Fui, one of the most gratifying elements to the season was the great development experienced by our novice players, as it was through their contribution that this group of Year 8 students developed into a team. The team was very fortunate to be coached by Liz Fiveash, a coach with considerable experience and credibility in the area of Basketball. In the end, the girls placed Second; an exceptional result and one that certainly bodes well for the future.
The Year 7 Girls’ Basketball Team had a strong season with several convincing wins and a few narrow losses. Throughout the season the students balanced youthful enthusiasm and passion for the game to claim Third place. One of many highlights for this team was a particularly strong game when the team showcased great individual skill and effective team work to claim victory by 10 points. It is hoped that the girls continue to play Basketball in the future, as it is clear the students have the capacity to continue to improve and develop the great chemistry that was very evident in 2013. Thank you to coach Mr David Stone for his positive manner with the girls. It was certainly valued by the team.

Courtney Ellmers and Emma Coleman Cheerleading Captains Cheerleading is a relatively new sport at Canterbury College and over the past three years it has shaped and developed into a very successful program. Expectations were high, as we finished the 2012 season with impressive achievements. With growing numbers and the desire to improve for our 2013 season, we certainly had high hopes for the year that lay ahead. Canterbury Cheerleaders competed in the World Cup Cheer and Dance Competition held at the Logan Metro Sports Centre in August. We had six teams enter three different categories, including our Junior Dance Duo, Senior Dance Duo, Freshman Pom, Varsity Pom and Junior and Senior Level 2 stunt groups. Many hours of hard work paid off for all teams, who were very successful and all placed. Our Junior Dance Duo placed Second, Senior Dance Duo placed Third, our Pom A team claimed Third, Pom B team gained Fourth, and both the Junior and Senior Level 2 Stunt Groups placed First. These were magnificent achievements for the Canterbury Cheerleaders, especially considering the competition comprised of many elite cheer and dance schools. All girls involved need to be congratulated on their remarkable performances.
Our success would not have been possible without the great support and training we receive from our coaches. On behalf of the Cheerleaders, a huge thank you goes to our assistant coach Mrs Donna-Marie Forsyth who has helped in preparing us for performances and worked with us on skill development. A huge thank you to our Cheerleading Coordinator Ms Sarah Bentley, who also has given an endless amount of time and dedication to improving and developing our squad. Her consistent encouragement and commitment makes us so lucky to have such an amazing coach. Both coaches have contributed largely to our great success with their enthusiasm, support and positivity throughout the year and have helped us achieve our goals. To our parents: thank you for your encouragement and support this year. We greatly appreciate it. Finally, a huge thank you to all cheerleaders who have been a part of our program this year. All students involved should be commended for their commitment, dedication, positive attitude and hard work. It is clear from our results that Canterbury College Cheerleading had a very successful and productive year. The Cheerleading program has a bright future ahead in 2014 and we hope that the future cheerleading teams will continue to successfully grow and develop in the years to come.

The 2013 season started with some hard games against some tough opposition. After good pre-season preparation there was much optimism about our batting but this was soon crushed with some ordinary scores. Persistent rain then saw many training sessions and games cancelled. After the wet weather, the team put together some creditable performances with the bat and ball. Alexander Maslowskyj scored an impressive half century and also took five wickets in one game. Two Year 10 players, William Hilston and Michael Miller made their First XI debuts and acquitted themselves impressively.
This season will be remembered by this coach for two special reasons. Firstly, that there were half-a-dozen players who committed themselves to playing and representing their College for each and every game. Secondly, that each player kept giving their best during each game despite being outnumbered. Our best batsman this year, Abhishek Jagtap, had never participated in a cricket match before this season. When asked where he learned his sound defensive technique, he replied that he had never been coached but he would watch and mimic the actions of the Test players. Jordan Holder did a superb job as Captain of the side and ensured that we always played each game in the spirit of sportsmanship. Jacob Jarman-Harrison, Lee McCann, Darren Pereira, and Lewis Worrall demonstrated extraordinary resilience and commitment throughout the season. The team appreciated having Mr Gary Worrall present each week to act as the official scorer.

An average season was experienced by the Year 10 Cricket Team, with mixed results dominating the landscape. There were some extremely exciting games, which culminated in a tied result in the Final. Jake Keeble had a fine season with several commendable individual contributions. Luke Clipperton Captained the team well, in addition to some solid scores with the bat. The remainder of the team provided valued contributions, which at times yielded scoreboard pressure and competent batting performances.
In the end it was a successful season for the Year 8 Cricket Team. Weather played a major role in the final results, with two key games being washed out. The boys finished the season with four wins and only one loss. A comfortable win in the final match led to a Third Place finish. The attitude shown at training and games throughout the season was excellent. Key awards went to Christopher Barker for Best Batsman, Sean Thompson was Best Bowler whilst Lachlan Gilmore received the Spirit Award.
YEAR 9 Mr Bryan Shephard Coach The team this year played hard against experienced opposition and were unlucky in patches to not record wins. Weather played a factor early, with many training sessions and games being washed out and others shortened. The team showed glimpses of talent with several players showing skill and determination with the ball and bat. Good batting innings were recorded by Hamza Malik, Joshua Whitfield, Cameron Wray, Lachlan Graham and Karl Mosterd. They faced at times some highlevel bowling attacks and runs were hard to come by in most games. Highlights for this age group were several sixes hit by Hamza Malik and Lachlan Graham. With the ball, we struggled against seasoned opposition batsmen. However, we recorded good spells of bowling at times, without relying on luck, and discovered some future bowling ability in Lachlan Graham, Jacob Sernig, Akshay Sharma, Karl Mosterd and the leg spin of Cameron Wray. The fielding effort was always good and the players’ enthusiasm levels were high whether we won or lost. Many thanks to the parent supporters. Several acted as scorers and sideline support, and were as good as any team could hope for. Well done to all supporters. I know the players appreciated it.
YEAR 7 Mr Nick Medcalf Coach The Year 7 Cricket Team had a very successful season, culminating in a Grand Final appearance. Unfortunately the boys came up against a stronger opposition on the day, but there were a lot of positives to take out of the season. The team was a mix of experienced club cricketers and some players who were having their first taste of cricket at Canterbury College. I would like to commend the boys on the way they listened and tried hard to improve their batting, bowling and fielding techniques at training throughout the season. Although the weather and a bye deprived the boys of three games, highlights included some emphatic victories and an exciting, although nail-biting, last-ball loss. Hopefully each member of the team will play again next season and build upon the tremendous start they have had to TAS Cricket at Canterbury College. I would also like to thank Mr McAlpine for his generous help scoring throughout the season, and the parents for supporting their sons.

OVERALL PLACES: 1st Ramsey; 2nd Becket; 3rd Temple; 4th Cranmer In Term 2, more than 250 keen students attacked the 1.5km looped course at the annual running of the Canterbury College Invitational Cross Country Carnival. Schools from Toowoomba, the Gold Coast and the local area were all in attendance, along with a strong contingent of Canterbury College Junior and Senior runners. Grace Hamilton (Year 5)
and Jack Humrich (Year 5) showed their talents by placing in the Under 13 age group races, several years above their current age. Congratulations to Tianah List and Jayne Russell for winning their respective races; a fine effort amongst strong opposition. The major highlight for the combined boys and girls Cross Country Team was the 2013 TAS Cross Country Championships. On the back of a solid training effort, along with many students being fit from other sports, the College held high hopes for a top five TAS Blue Division finish. On a fast and challenging course, the team competed with distinction and courage. The girls emerged with an outstanding overall Second placing, whilst the boys finished Sixth. Congratulations to Jayne Russell and Caitlin McQuilkin-Bell who each claimed First and were crowned TAS Cross Country Champions. After outstanding runs at the District Cross Country Championships, 20 Canterbury College students qualified to attend the South Coast Cross Country Championships. This carnival is traditionally very strong, with the top six progressing to the prestigious Queensland Championships. Congratulations to Caitlin McQuilkin-Bell, Emily Finch, Tianah List and Darren Pereira for claiming top six places and earning their spot for competition at the State Championships and to Jayne Russell who was named a reserve for this event. At the State Championships, Emily placed Seventh, Caitlin 12th and Tianah 12th within their age groups, which is an outstanding achievement for the girls. As departing Cross Country Captains, we wish the 2014 Cross Country Squad all the best, as they build upon the great foundation that has been laid over the past few years. We are confident that with the strong JTAS program in place, the future is very bright for the Senior Cross Country program at Canterbury College.

Taylah Andrew Equestrian Captain The 2013 Equestrian year was filled with many highs and several encouraging signs for the future of the Equestrian program at Canterbury. As this is my final year within the Canterbury Equestrian program, I will say it has certainly been a great pleasure having the responsibility of being Captain; an opportunity that I have certainly treasured. In April this year, Amber Kaats, Samantha Collins, Sharquira Jenkinson, Hannah Vardy and myself competed at the South East Queensland Regional Championships. At this event, Amber won the Supreme Horse of the Show Horse category, which was very exciting and reflective of her great performance on the day. Due to everyone’s outstanding contribution, our Canterbury College Team placed Fourth overall. Also in April, Emily Russell, Jayne Russell and I placed Fourth at the State Championships in the Eventing and Combined Training event. Another great result for the College.
During the June/July holidays, Samantha Collins, Amber Kaats, Sharquira Jenkinson, Hannah Vardy, Emily Russell, Jayne Russell, Maleah Lang-McMahon and I competed in the State Interschool Championships in Maryborough. All members of the team participated with enthusiasm and it was clear everyone thoroughly enjoyed the team experience. After competing successfully at these State Championships, Samantha Collins, Amber Kaats, Emily Russell, Hannah Vardy and I were selected to compete at the National Championships in Perth. Unfortunately due to travel required, only Hannah Vardy was able to attend. We commend Hannah for her fantastic efforts at this prestigious event where she claimed Ninth Place in the Novice Dressage section and 13th Place in the Elementary Dressage section. I extend a huge thank you to parent Mrs Tracey Vardy for her great assistance and contribution to the Equestrian program at Canterbury this year. Along with Mrs Vardy, all the Canterbury College Equestrian families have contributed greatly, in particular at the Canterbury College Equestrian Event held in March. Finally, I extend a sincere thank you to academic staff member Mrs Allira Riikonen for her contribution to the Equestrian program at Canterbury in 2013, especially her attendance and genuine support at the State Championships.

The 2013 season saw many changes from the 2012 side, with only two players returning. With the season being short, it took a little time for the boys to fuse together as a team. Early games saw patches of dominance from Canterbury mixed with lapses in concentration which cost us potential victories. A comprehensive 5-1 win was soon followed by a 4-3 loss, after leading 3-1 with five minutes to go. The team showed great character to rebound stronger and more determined in the last two rounds to record back-to-back victories to finish the season, including a thrilling 7-5 win over a side which featured a Brisbane Roar A-League player. The signs bode well for the 2014 season with the majority of players to be available, including our Most Valuable Player for 2013 Harrison Martin who will play his third year in the First XI. A special mention must go to Liam Ackland, Captain, for the enthusiasm and character he demonstrated in his role.
The Year 10 Football Team finished Fifth on the ladder this season. The team showed great commitment and teamwork, forming a tightknit group with a strong desire to win. After a 9-0 loss on the opening weekend, the boys demonstrated tremendous character and resilience to bounce back. The outstanding performances in one 10-0 win and another 12-0 win were the highlights of the season. A couple of closely fought games did not quite swing in our favour, and with a bit of luck we could have been playing for Third on the final day. Nevertheless, the season was enjoyable and the team cannot be faulted for their spirit and determination. A special mention is extended to the dangerous striker, Captain and Most Valuable Player, Lachlan Brookes, the marauding left winger and Canterbury Spirit Award winner, Luke Clipperton, and the skilful Tyler Swainson for a series of excellent attacking displays.
SECOND XI Mr Ian Lees Coach Although we struggled for numbers at times, the boys showed great determination and commitment to the team. Following good individual and group performances, the team ended up playing for Fifth in Caboolture. With only ten players it was going to be difficult and the boys knew they would have to dig deep. The opposition scored first but the boys fought back and were rewarded when Liam Robertson and Faizan Azam gave us the 2-1 lead at half-time. Canterbury bravely held out until the final whistle, keeping the second half goal-less. In their final game for Canterbury, Year 12 students Joshua Noney, Daniel Seed, Bradley Kemp and Alan Wang were the backbone of the team and led a stirring war cry to celebrate a great win and an enjoyable season.

YEAR 9 Mr James Jenkins Coach The Year 9 Football Team had a mixed year in 2013. Despite some good periods of play throughout the season, we struggled to take the points from matches. William Arnott Captained the team this year, with Joshua Hamblyn serving as Vice Captain. Both boys showed some good leadership skills on the field. Unfortunately, a mixture of factors saw us start several matches outnumbered. Some of the scores against us would have been much larger if it was not for some great goalkeeping by Connor Baylis. At the other end of the field, Nicholas Bennett was concerned with scoring goals for us and ended the season as our leading goal scorer. The boys improved throughout the season and I would like to thank the team for their effort.

YEAR 8 Mr Nick Medcalf Coach The Year 8 Team had a very successful and enjoyable season. The boys finished the regular season with two wins, two draws and two losses and were rewarded for their hard work with a play-off for Third in the finals. After leading 1-0 early, Canterbury was unable to match the skill and precise finishing of a strong opposition outfit in the second half. Although a number of the boys were forced to play out of their preferred positions this season, the group formed a strong camaraderie and will to win. Matthew Kelly and Cameron Squires performed strongly both in-goal and on the field, and our back four combination of Kaine Swanson, Caleb Harman, Ethan Christian-Greenwood and Otis Hooper always showed tenacity and hunger to protect our goal. A number of players rotated in the midfield throughout the season. Alexander Noney, Zac Gough and Cameron Jones predominantly played on the wings and provided good support for our defenders and strikers. Bailey Young, Hussein Jawad and Michael Clark controlled the centre of the field with precision and always worried opposing defenders with their running and passing games. Joshua
Thomson and Dylan Farrugia played striker on a number of occasions and also kept the opposition in two minds with their speed and strength on the ball. It was a pleasure to coach this team and watch them develop their skills, vision and teamwork as the season progressed.
YEAR 7 Mr David Howells Director of Sport The Year 7 Team enjoyed a solid season with an overall placing of Third. The team consisted of a blend of seasoned players, and a group of keen and willing athletes. Throughout the season the boys had the fortune of experiencing quality coaching from Mr Robbie Smith, along with Mr Ron Johnston, who provided excellent game-based training sessions. In the future, it is hoped that the boys continue their passion for the game, whist devoting greater time to further developing their fundamental skills. At the end of the season, it was very pleasing to note the great chemistry prevalent within the team, as this facet of the group will certainly provide the platform for further improvement and development.

FIRST XI Ms Kathy Simpson Hockey Coordinator The First XI Hockey season was one of missed opportunities. There were many games when the final score did not reflect the closeness of the game, nor the enthusiasm and commitment shown by the team. Nevertheless, the girls still strived to come to training and gave 100 per cent effort in everything asked of them. Our sportsmanship and endurance were outstanding and this was commented on by parents and referees from our opposing teams. Overall, I would like to thank our coach Mr John Healey for leading us in the right direction and giving us reasons to back up each week. Players of note include Jeanna Pink (Most Valuable Player), Eliza-Grace Golden (Captain – Canterbury Spirit Award) and Cassidy Cloupet (First XI Best First Year Player). Huge congratulations must go to Dena Healey who was awarded the prestigious Hockey Player of the Year Award. To the Seniors of 2013, thanks for your commitment to the Canterbury College Hockey program and all the best for 2014.
SECOND XI Ms Kathy Simpson Hockey Coordinator The 2013 Hockey season was a challenging one for the Second XI. Led by Captain Chloe Wilson, our results varied throughout the season due to injury and ill health. This led to some inconsistencies in our game play and
we found it difficult to find momentum. We thank the younger players who stepped up and played with us on game days. Our attack was led by Chloe Wilson and she was awarded the Most Valuable Player. Georgia Gamble was solid in the midfield and was awarded the Canterbury Spirit Award. Talitha Glazbrook, Savannah Walker and Madeleine Schulz played strong games each week. We would like to thank Mr John Healey for his enthusiastic coaching and also Mr Mark Gamble for his support on game days. The Second XI had an overall fantastic year and we all look forward to getting back onto the field next season.
YEAR 9 Ms Kathy Simpson Hockey Coordinator This season, the Year 9 Hockey Team was excited and ready for a big year. The Captain was India Robertson and Co-Captain Tenealle Smith. The team played out the entire season undefeated. They then faced tough opposition in the Final and they went down 1-0. All the girls gave 100 per cent and the improvements throughout the season were very encouraging, especially for the girls who decide to continue with Hockey in 2014. There were many outstanding players, some of whom include Goalkeeper Jordan Robertson, Canterbury Spirit Award recipient India Baker and Most Valuable Player awardee India Robertson. There were also strong performances from Jade Ashton, Alaina Warwick, Raegan Kingsman and Brooke Hitchmough. The coach, Mr Anthony Hillier, provided outstanding leadership and the skills of the team improved immensely throughout the season. I wish all the girls the very best for the future.

The 2013 Hockey season proved to be an exceptional one for the Year 8 Hockey Team. We quickly found a group of girls keen to play the sport for the first time. The girls soon became a close team, and week after week shared wins and some draws. They remained undefeated at the end of the season and shared the premiership after a nail-biting Grand Final. Our team consisted of our Goalkeeper Georgia Lovelock, who shows a natural talent for the position, and our defence full backs Meg Radburn and Olivia Joseph. Meg and Olivia both did an exceptional job defending and always worked hard to keep the ball out of the goal.
This year the Year 7 Hockey team had an awesome season. Nicola Cain did an excellent job being the team Goalkeeper and Monique Wisnewski improved immensely to become a great fullback. Makayla Smith, Rhiannon Frizzel, Georgia Hamilton and Abbey Lyle did an incredible job at defending and hitting the ball down the field whilst Victoria Tilley did well dribbling the ball up to our goal. Maddison Clapham, Destiny Pink and Hannah Gordon were amazing at getting the ball out of the contest and passing the ball down the field. A collective effort allowed us to play well as a team and we finished Third. Special mention must go to Rhiannon Frizzel who was awarded the Most Valuable Player, and the Canterbury Spirit Award went to Hannah Gordon. Thank you to our wonderful manager Ms Moore for supporting us and giving us the skills that we can use in our years to come in Hockey. All up, the season was amazing! We cannot wait to play again.
Our midfielders Anna Elton, Astyn Donald and Samara Paradine also did a fantastic job in defence, and constantly fought to get the ball up to the forward line. Anna Brauns, Alice Garner, Zoe Greenwood, Hinerangi-Rose Papuni and Shannon Nielsen made up the forward line and did a great job in attack. The girls worked really well as a team, and soon realised that goals are a team effort not just an individual one. Well done to all the girls for a fantastic season and for focussing on their ultimate goal. Special congratulations must go to the major award winners: Most Valuable Player Astyn Donald and the Canterbury Spirit Award Georgia Lovelock. A huge thank you must go to coach Mrs Teresa Clapham. Your guidance and passion for Hockey was immensely appreciated. You can achieve anything, as long as you have a goal and you believe you can do it!

The departure of our core playing group at the end of 2012 meant that 2013 was going to be a rebuilding year for the First VII. The new recruits were keen but had a devastating start to the season with a major loss in Round 1. The loss was compounded by injury after injury, which hit our playing group hard. Each round was a fight to get seven healthy players on the court. Most weeks the girls played with injuries and miles of strapping tape. A few hard-fought and narrow wins kept us in finals contention but, unfortunately, losing two games by two goals late in the season placed us in Fifth position overall and on course to meet our first round opponents. The girls were determined not to have a repeat of that game and played outstandingly to secure the Finals win. Although it was a difficult season, the girls should be proud of the energy and enthusiasm that they demonstrated in each training session and game. They were amazing role models for our younger players and a great team to coach. We look forward to 2014 determined, as a group, to break into the top three.
I am very privileged to have been able to coach this lovely bunch of girls this season. The team showed great improvement, as shown by the scores. In the first round, we lost 29-8 but in the last round, against the same team, we came within two points of a win, 26-24. Obviously this was a huge improvement and it is a credit to the girls. They always turned up to training with the right attitude and gave it their all. It is a shame the season was not longer, as the girls were starting to believe in their abilities. I wish the girls good luck in their future endeavours and thank them along with Mr David Howells, Mrs Deanne Hamilton and the Canterbury College staff for their unwavering support throughout the season.

Mrs Simone Hartley Coach
Ms Shannon Saunders Coach
The Third VII Netball Team had a successful 2013 season. The team was a competitive addition to the division, with some close games against some tough opposition. Team captains Priyanka Maharaj and Briana Jenkin encouraged the rest of the team, consisting of players from Years 10, 11 and 12, to unite and stay positive in some tight contests. The team secured some wins during the season and one of the highlights was a match when the score line remained even for the entire game. Just before the final siren, the team had to convert a shot for goal to secure a draw, and were successful. Cheers could be heard from this coach and the loyal parent supporters, as a place in the finals round was secured! The season was one of competition and fun.
From the beginning of the season, it was easy to find court combinations that worked and tactics that could benefit us against our opposition. The girls were willing and determined to constantly improve themselves individually in the game and as a team, and this was evident in their commitment, attendance and their attitude towards training and games. The results from each week, however, did not do this hard work, determination and talent justice. It was an absolute pleasure to be a part of the journey of these players. I am proud of the progress we made and the things we achieved, and I look forward to the possibility of working with them again.
YEAR 10A Mrs Deanne Hamilton Coach The Year 10A Team had a mixed season, with a number of wins slipping away in the final quarter. Our very first game was certainly promising, as we clawed back a substantial deficit at three-quarter time to take out the match. The intensity and speed of that game, however, was difficult to maintain throughout the regular season. We often found the number of minor errors in our game cost us greatly on the scoreboard. The girls continued to work hard in training and on the court, with several combinations providing passages of great Netball. Our best game of the season though was certainly the finals game. All players worked hard transitioning the ball quickly, producing strong leads and confidently offloading to our first option. The number of tips and intercepts in defence highlighted the girls’ potential and their ability to put training into practice. I wish the girls the best of luck as they head into the Senior ranks in 2014.
YEAR 10B Ms Shannon Saunders Coach A tough season for this team of girls, facing injury, illness and commitment clashes. Despite these setbacks, the girls worked extremely hard to better themselves both on and off-court. Each and every one of them was there to play the game for what it was, and that is exactly what a coach looks for. Not all the results showed their effort and progress, but it was a beautiful thing to watch week by week. I am honoured to have had the opportunity to coach such a friendly and inspired group of young women, and I wish them all the best for the coming years in the Senior teams.
YEAR 9B Annabelle Squires Coach This past Netball season was a challenging one for the Year 9B Team, playing most games with seven girls. The team put in an amazing effort every game, being pushed to the limit having to play full games each week. It was a pleasure to coach and watch their improvement from trials to finals and I look forward to seeing them play next season.
YEAR 8A Mrs Deanna Witcher Coach Thank you to my Year 8 Team for your never-ending vitality and positive attitude. Our best game of the season was when we won 25-18. The joy on the girls’ faces was priceless when they came off the court after such a great win. They are very talented at such a young age and they can achieve big things in Netball with some hard work and perseverance. I would like to thank the Canterbury College staff for their support and also to Ms Jacinta Pascoe who came along and scored for us every week.
YEAR 8B Alexa Deighton Coach The Year 8B Netball Team had a very successful season, finishing Fourth overall. We began the season with little knowledge and experience of the game, however the team’s continuous dedication to training and never-give-up attitude saw them improve week-in and week-out. The girls’ teamwork, commitment and sportsmanship throughout the season are to be commended. I am so proud of the girls and their development over the eight games, as a team and as individuals. Their hard-working nature will take them far in Canterbury Netball, and I look forward to seeing them all again.

The Year 7A Netball Team was competitive in all TAS games this season, even though the results did not always reflect this or go in their favour. The girls’ skills certainly developed throughout the season and when they were able to do the little things well and execute skills they had learnt, their teamwork benefitted. These Year 7 girls were a dedicated group and many attended the early morning optional training sessions which certainly assisted with their fitness and skills. One of the regular early morning starters, Caitlyn Griffiths, was a worthy recipient of the Canterbury Spirit Award, with her fantastic attitude and willingness to listen and learn. The Most Valuable Player Award went to Taylah Bohan, whose skill level and ability to read the game meant she played a pivotal role every time the team took the court. I am sure this team’s persistence and love for the game will see them do well in the future.
This season, the girls were faced with a whole new competition, different from anything they had ever played before. We had a tough start to the season with some very hard games, but each player’s skills and attitude improved hugely, which is all a coach can ask for. Overall we finished Sixth on the ladder, but every game was full of effort, enthusiasm and determination. Thank you so much for a fun-filled season girls. It was a pleasure to coach you and I look forward to seeing you all again.

Kellie Thompson and Hollie Hegarty Rowing Captains The 2013 Rowing season has been very much a time of development for the Canterbury College Rowing Squad, with many experiences being gained from the numerous regattas and camps attended. The first event the squad had was the development camp held in Murwillumbah in March. This camp presented many challenges to both new and seasoned rowers, physically and mentally; however there were many achievements. During the short time away, the group was able to bond, encourage and support each other and come together as a team before the start of the season. In the June/July holidays, Canterbury hosted the South East Queensland Rowing Championships, held at Kawana Waters on the Sunshine Coast. This two-day regatta, run by the very hard-working Rowing Supporters Group, was the main fundraising event for the 2013 season. With financial gains, which allowed us to purchase new Rowing and coaching equipment like tinnies and motors, also came great results. Three crews gained medals, and a majority of the squad progressed to Semi-Finals and Finals. In the first weekend of the September holidays, selected crews competed at the three-day Queensland State Championships Regatta, located at Bucca Weir in Bundaberg. Competing in new conditions, the
crews did extremely well with many crews competing at this level for the very first time. Hollie Hegarty competed against 45 rowers from across Queensland and New Zealand in the Under 17 Single Scull. Jessica Lord, Jenna Bilston, Toni Johnson and Astyn Donald competed in a field of 77 rowers in the Under 14 Single Scull, with Jessica progressing through to the Semi-Finals. Bradley Corbet competed in the Under 15 Single Scull, racing against a field of 80 rowers. All Canterbury College Double Scull crews progressed to the Semi-Finals. Jenna Bilston, Jessica Lord, Toni Johnson and Astyn Donald competed in a field of 45 crews, whilst Bradley Corbet and Darian Bergman competed in a field of 35. Canterbury’s Year 8 Girls’ Quad, stroked by Jenna Bilston, with Jessica Lord, Toni Johnston, Mackenzie Barker, and Cox Astyn Donald, unfortunately did not progress through to the Semi-Finals. Well done to all crews on their massive effort in this very competitive field. The 2013 season introduced 17 new Canterbury College families into this very demanding but rewarding sport, and with the 2014 Rowing season being based on the Logan River we hope, as Captains, that even more students will become part of this very close and supportive sporting team. Without the help of our remarkable coaches Mr Geoff Galt, Mr Dennis Taylor, Mr David Toohey and Miss Michelle Mathews, our squad would not be in the position it is in today, so a very heartfelt thank you to you. As Captains we would also like to thank the Rowing Supporters Group for their tireless support and help. And to the rowers of 2013, thank you for encouraging and supporting one another and for your dedication to the sport.

many may not have again. From this, we moved into our preparation for the annual Sunshine Coast Rugby Camp.
Mr Kirk Astill Coach
The boys played three games over the course of the three-day tour which saw further development and progress of the team’s potential. This camp was not only a great opportunity for the players to be exposed to some game practice but also an excellent chance for them to bond and mold together as a team. My sincere thanks to Mr David Howells for his organisation and Mr Geno Costin and Mr Dean Galpin for their expert coaching.
Marv Levy, a famous American Football Coach once said that “Persistence can change failure into extraordinary achievement.” This is a true reflection of the Canterbury College Rugby program, particularly the First XV Rugby Team. The team achieved its most successful season in many years, with poignant progress and development becoming clearly evident and the results starting to filter through. The 2013 season saw the team be extremely competitive in every game, with every opposition team having to play good Rugby to match us. From this development the team has once again installed pride in the Canterbury College First XV jersey and improved our reputation in the wider College and TAS community. It was again a key goal of the coaching staff and players to improve upon our performance from the previous year. Despite playing some good games and having wins, we knew we needed to develop greater consistency. Training and development once again started in Term 4 2012, with the players and coaching staff outlining a plan for the upcoming year. Training initially concentrated on the basics of tackling, passing and the ruck-and-maul contest. We were fortunate enough to have the opportunity to play at Suncorp Stadium in early March as a curtain raiser to the Reds game. This was a fantastic opportunity that saw the need for training to begin earlier than usual in Term 1 to prepare us for the event. The boys thoroughly enjoyed the experience; one that

The season draw was an extremely challenging one. The beginning of the season saw a dramatic transformation in attitude and determination. The team was competitive and aggressive against an overconfident opposition. Canterbury matched them consistently for the most of the game; however, some minor errors in defense and attack allowed them to capitalise and come away with a hard-fought win. In the following game, poor weather and difficulties in gaining field position saw a very well-structured opposition team come away victors. However, probably the most important and closely-fought game was one that followed, in which for moments of the game we were leading. It was quoted by many who witnessed the game that it was one of the toughest, most physical and enjoyable games of Rugby they had ever seen; a testament to the commitment and development of the First XV. The season ended in very similar circumstances to the year before, with Canterbury playing for Fifth position in the final. With the difficult game of 2012 still in the minds of many players, the team was committed to ensuring that history did not repeat itself. It was a tough and gritty game that saw the score line change hands several times. However, the First XV was able to do something which has been very difficult in the past to do
S E NI PAOR GE SI NTR P O RT O
and that was to come back and win the game. A well-deserved victory, and Fifth place was assured.
YEAR 10
The results demonstrated the development in Canterbury College Rugby. Captain Tarewa Papuni embodied the Canterbury College Rugby Spirit and demonstrated through performance, not words, his commitment and love for this sport and the College. The First XV players of 2013 have left an important mark on Canterbury College Rugby, one which I hope future First XV teams aim to emulate.
Mr Dean Galpin Coach
Thank you to Mr David Howells and Mr Geno Costin for their guidance and development of Rugby at Canterbury College. My sincere thanks also goes to Mr Harry Norris, assistant coach. His support of the team and specific development of the scrum and lineout was incredibly important and appreciated. Finally, thank you to Mr Steve Porter who provided significant support and oversaw the development of the players. Mr Porter provided great insight and support towards the best development of the First XV and the future of Canterbury College Rugby.
SECOND XV
The Year 10 Rugby Team started the year with a positive frame of mind and a focus of moving from the Third v Fourth playoffs into the First v Second playoffs. The team focussed on performance rather than results, knowing that we were going to have to come up against some very strong teams. Some tight victories gave us plenty to work on in the weeks leading up to the First v Second playoff. The boys knew they had to come out firing in the Final to be in contention. After going up 14-0 early, the Canterbury spirit kicked in, and the boys were able to dig deep to defend most of the second half holding onto a slender 14-12 advantage. After defending on the try line for many minutes, the boys were able to create a turnover and struggle their way back up-field and were rewarded with a match-winning try in the corner, winning the First v Second playoff 19-12. There were many outstanding performances throughout the season and in the Final. The boys were well supported all year by the Year 10 Red Team who trained with us for most of the season.
Mr Steve Porter Coach
YEAR 9
With a long pre-season starting in February, the team had excellent preparation with morning fitness training sessions with the Cross Country runners, a weights program with the rowers and some Rugby skills training on Wednesday afternoons. To top it off, there was a preseason tournament on the Sunshine Coast. So it was with modest expectations that we embarked on our 2013 season.
Mr Nick Medcalf Manager
We knew it was not going to be easy, with fewer players to work with than the previous season and again we probably lacked a little in size, skills and fitness despite our pre-season efforts. The highlight of our season was supporting the First XV in their trial match at Suncorp Stadium, which was a fantastic experience for all players who were lucky enough to be involved. This meant that we were as well prepared as we could be for our first round match in April. Against an understrength side, we had a comfortable win but, with some injuries in both the First and Second XV, we went into the next rounds with some tough games and a side that was a little understrength and short on numbers. To our credit we fought hard, showing a lot of determination and character which was to be a feature of the side during the season. We played well in patches for the remainder but frustratingly had to play many games with less than 15 players, which made the going pretty tough. As the season unfolded, our forwards led by Hayden Cains learnt that to win you had to be aggressive and compete at the breakdown. They also learnt that speed (and fitness) around the paddock can counteract the larger packs that we came up against. When our forwards got the upper hand they did it well. They set the platform for our backs by providing good clean possession and allowed our backs, who were well organised by our Captain Bradley Kemp, to show their running and passing skills. In the end we finished a creditable Sixth and with a bit of luck and more players could have finished as high as Third but the commitment and dedication of the players throughout the season was commendable.
The Canterbury Year 9 Team experienced an up-and-down Rugby season in 2013, culminating in a narrow loss to finish Sixth. Unfortunately, injuries consistently meant a re-shuffling of positions and this took its toll towards the end of the season. On the positive side this also meant that most players were able to experience playing in different positions and learning the roles that came with this. The team was a mixture of experienced players and some who were trying Rugby for the first time. Attitude and commitment towards training and matches improved throughout the season and each player’s skill level and awareness improved under the excellent guidance of experienced coach Mr Tony Paradies. Congratulations to all players on a spirited and competitive season, but in particular to the following award winners — Most Valuable Back: Connor Baylis, Most Valuable Forward: Dane Proudfoot, Canterbury Spirit Award: Harrison Turton.
YEAR 8 Mrs Donna Scott Mr Jack Porter Coach Assistant Coach Year 8 Rugby can be an interesting game at the best of times, with teams hotter-than-hot one week and ice cold the next. The season for the Year 8 Canterbury boys reflected this from top to bottom. The boys started the season in a very strong way, racking up a number of 50+ point scoreboards, with the highlight being a spectacular 66-0 victory. This stunning form however came to a very abrupt halt later in the season. The boys fought hard from the unfamiliar territory of having a game on

the line and fell just short of victory at 12-14. This game was put down as the loss the side needed heading into the finals, and after another solid performance in the final season game the boys were set to play for the premiership. Ringing true to the hot and cold nature of Year 8 Rugby, the opposition turned up blazing hot and ready to rumble. Both teams fought valiantly until the final whistle, however the Canterbury boys spent too much of the game defending their own try line, often conceding back-to-back penalties. Unfortunately this allowed the opposition to claim the silverware for 2013. Some special mentions must go to Joel Doak (eight tries), Brock Smithers (seven tries), Cameron Squires and Lachlan Ward (six tries) and Vaea Ta’avale (36 points) for helping this talented team to score a total of 279 points for the season while conceding only 70. These numbers show just how good these boys are. Couple that with a thirst for retribution after stumbling at the final hurdle, and these boys will be a premiership force in 2014. Good luck boys!
YEARS 7/8 RED Mr Alan Lyle Coach The Middle School Reds had a great season of Rugby, having learnt many new skills throughout. They performed admirably both on and off the field. The team started with three home games and improved week by week, as they gained skill and confidence. The second half of the season saw them travelling, and we hit the road in search of our first win. This came about when the team came away victors 22-14. Our forwards Aaron Duthie, Cameron Andrews, Brendan Yeboah, Majdy Rizk, Kurtis McKean, Jake Neylon, Caleb Pyne and Cian Murphy developed as a group and were instrumental in gaining ground and setting up for our backs. Ryan Warwick was strong at scrum half, feeding the ball out to our fly halves Jagger Coxon and Joshua Attard. Thomas McAlpine ran the ball well in the centre and was well supported by Tyson Purnell and Luqmaan Saheed on the wings. Matthew Gorry came into the back
line from fullback to support our attacking plays. I would like to thank all of our parents who actively supported and encouraged the boys each week. They celebrated in their successes and patched them up (when needed) ready for the next big game. Thank you to Mr McAlpine and Mr Duthie for running the line for us each week.
YEAR 7 Mr Andrew Gardiner Coach Competition was fierce for Year 7 Rugby this year, with so many players at the start of the season we could form two teams. The Blue Team went into the season with 17 players and high hopes. The early season trial games were tough but gave good insight into the players. In our first game for points we squeezed out a 17-14 win. We then endured a loss following our bye week, leading to some nerves about the second half of the season. In the next competition game, the boys rallied to an impressive 32-8 victory. Highlights of this game included Scott Ta’avale stepping almost the entire opposition team only to selflessly draw the fullback and offload to a flying Liam Johnston, as well as the great ruck work and darting opportunistic try from Donovan Thompson. Round 7 presented a challenge, and despite recording a loss the team showed great skill and determination. A strong scrum was led by the big men in the front row. There were also blasting runs by Saxon Harris and Connor Maynard, whose best 40m, five-tackle-breaking run sadly turned in to a season-ending knee injury. The Third v Fourth Final was a bit of fun, with the opposition forfeiting due to lack of numbers. After lending the opposition some players and using the Canterbury coach as a referee, Canterbury triumphed in the shortened 12-man version of the game 37-10 to take Third place. Liam Johnston starred on the day, scoring two tries for each team, a feat rarely accomplished in a game of Rugby. The boys had a season of ups and downs but if they concentrate on training for the entire season, like they did for the finals, they will excel in the future.

From a TAS perspective, the College performed creditably within the TAS Red Division, whilst individually many Canterbury College students experienced great success on the representative stage. On the back of our continued partnership with the Gould Adams Aquatic Centre, swimmers have increasingly begun training with the Canterbury squad.
The year commenced with students from Years 7-12 participated in the annual Canterbury College Interhouse Swimming Carnival at Aqualogan Springwood. On many levels, the day was a fantastic success with every student getting in and having a go. House spirit was at its best, as this year’s Seniors worked hard to increase participation and overall excitement with some creative and inspiring war cries and competition uniforms.

OVERALL PLACES: 1st Ramsey; 2nd Becket; 3rd Temple; 4th Cranmer The first major meet of the season was the Independent District Swimming Carnival. The high standard of competition was evident from the beginning of the day, the benchmark being set high in the first few races. The Canterbury Team performed extremely well in every event, securing Third place overall in both the Girls’ and Boys’ divisions whilst 28 students qualified to compete at the Regional Championships. Following the South Coast Swimming Championships and on the back of excellent performances, the following students qualified to compete at the Queensland Schools Swimming Championships: Evelina Afoa (Year 10), Saxon Harris (Year 7), Hannah Hetherington, Ashleigh Holmes (Year 10), Ryan Murphy (Year 9), Svetlana Sterlin (Year 9) and Damien Tronc (Year 10). Competing for their region, Ryan Murphy (Second - 400m Individual Medley); Hannah Hetherington (Third - 200m Butterfly) and Evelina Afoa (Second - Medley Relay) all claimed State Medals against quality opposition. Through the school sport representative pathway, congratulations to Year 9 student Tayla Raines who competed in the Queensland Team at the Australian National Schools Swimming Championships in Adelaide. Competing against the best athletes in the nation, Tayla performed exceptionally to qualify in three separate finals. She placed Eighth in the 100m Breaststroke, Fifth in the 200m Breaststroke and Eighth in the 50m Breaststroke. This is an outstanding achievement and reflective of Tayla’s profound talent and commitment to the sport of swimming. In 2013, the Canterbury College Swimming Team competed in the TAS Red Division, with strong aspirations to ascend into Blue Division. At the end of the
carnival, Canterbury finished in Fifth place, only 50 point behind second. Many highlights were evident throughout the carnival. These include: yy Strong performances in multiple strokes by Svetlana Sterlin, Chelsea Weaver, Saxon Harris, Ryan Murphy, Evelina Afoa, Hannah Hetherington and Damien Tronc yy TAS Age Champion: Ashleigh Holmes (Under 15) yy Capacity for younger swimmers to swim in older age groups. One of the major highlights for the College in 2013 was when Evelina Afoa competed for Team Samoa at the World Swimming Championships in Barcelona, Spain. The Senior FINA event had the best swimmers from all over the world in attendance. She competed in the 100m and 50m backstroke. She swam a personal best by almost one second in the 50m backstroke, whilst she was just outside her personal best in the 100m backstroke, placing Third in her heat. This was an amazing opportunity for Evelina, mixing it with the best swimmers in the world whilst going through all the highs and lows of elite swimming at a top-class international level. We are very proud of Evelina and her achievements and look forward to her continued success in the pool. Finally, thank you to College staff Ms Kathy Simpson and Mrs Deanne Hamilton for their attendance and support at training throughout the season. A huge thank you to the Swimming Captains Lachlan Gorham and Kellie Thompson for their assistance and guidance of the 2013 Canterbury Swimming Team.

Mr Peter Van der Poel Manager Our First IV Tennis Team entered the Trimester as 2012 Runners-up. Unfortunately, the season threw up a few challenges and they did not emulate the feats of the previous season. Nevertheless, there were some strong wins and even a draw against a very powerful opposition. Under the talented leadership of Year 12 student Richard Lim as team Captain, players Harry Wells, Karl Mosterd and Daniel James united well as a team and did themselves proud. It was very pleasing to see the determined team spirit each week and the fight to do their best on the court. The boys finished Fifth for the season. With many of the boys likely to try out for the First IV next year, along with the strong talent coming up, the future is looking bright.
SECOND IV

Mr Peter Van der Poel Manager
Mr Tory Mills Manager
The College’s Second IV Tennis Team had a mixed season of wins and losses, yet managed to maintain their commitment over the season to claim an impressive Third place. Captain Robert Joseph and his team of Daniel Taifalos, Jacob Jarman-Harrison and Christopher Noney played some strong Tennis. There was no doubt the boys improved their gameplay over the season and many an after-match debriefing occurred to ensure success the following week. The boys narrowly defeated their opposition in the finals to come Third, winning by a nail-biting two games. Well done boys, both for the finals result and for your efforts this season.
YEAR 10
Congratulations to the Year 8 team on a great season and on finishing an admirable Fifth in the TAS Blue Division competition. Lachlan James, Joshua Otto, Brendan Hodges and Jordan Savage competed most admirably every week against consistent and strong opposition. Every week they could be relied upon to arrive punctually and play for all they were worth, leaving nothing on the court. Their hard work throughout the season paid off when they finished their season with a convincing win in the finals. The boys won five out of the six sets. The future of the tennis program at Canterbury is certainly looking good, as this team comprises of students from Years 6, 7 and 8. We hope that they will continue to grace our courts for several years to come. Special thanks must go to Lachlan James and Alex Noney, who played several games through the season, filling in when illness and injury struck.
Mr Peter Van der Poel Manager
YEAR 7
The Canterbury College Year 10 Tennis Team was made up of four committed boys who were proudly supported by their parents. Each week Michael Miller and Caylum Lancaster, who often played together in the doubles, joined the other doubles pairing of Daniel Peters and Lachlan McAlpine playing against a variety of strong teams. Aside from some minor dramas, such as Michael’s dives to return the ball, the results speak for themselves. The boys won four matches out of the six they played and came an impressive Third in the Blue Division.
YEAR 9 Mr Tory Mills Manager William Arnott, Alexander Noney, Mason Van Motman, Joshua Hamblyn and Jordan Savage are to be commended on the humour, good will and larrikinism with which they embarked on the 2013 Tennis season. With very little Tennis experience, these boys regularly found themselves competing against strong opposition, including players who had regular coaching outside of school. Despite the often insurmountable odds, the team could always be relied upon to give their all on the court, but equally to see the humour in their own shortcomings. The team finished Seventh in the Blue Division fixtures, yet they competed admirably both on game days and at training. Particular mention goes to William and Alex, who had perfect attendance records across the season. Both boys’ Tennis games have undoubtedly benefitted from such commitment.
Mr Tory Mills Manager Growth and development would be the operative words to describe the Year 7 Tennis Team’s 2013 season. While finishing in Seventh place, the boys have grown significantly as Tennis players. Edward Archer, Blake Roesler, Brendan Hodges, Riley Crichton and Adam Attewell turned up every week to training with smiles on their faces, eager to learn. I watched as they soaked up the new skills and practices demonstrated by the coaching staff. Most of these boys are relatively new to the game, but the depth, power and consistency of their shots improved throughout the season. The final fixture of the season really epitomized this. Edward and Riley both won their singles, while Adam went down narrowly. There was a “goose bump” moment for me as I watched Riley play his singles and saw him implement the early racquet position coached to him to smack a cross-court backhand winner. It was textbook perfect! These boys are to be commended for the spirit and enthusiasm they have shown throughout the season.

Mrs Ralda Deoki Manager
Mrs Shona Sunebeck Manager
What a season for the Second IV! For Kaitlin Webber and Caitlyn Fields, it was their last season of competitive Tennis representing Canterbury, having played since Year 8. Ably supported by Bailey Murphy and Claire Porter, they made this a season of fun and enjoyment. The spirit of enjoyment that was evident at all matches was a pleasing example of what school sport should be. This was most obvious in the Final when the girls took Third place. Their sportsmanship and conduct during that match, and their sheer delight at winning it, produced smiles from even the opposition. Well done girls on your great result and the example you set for the younger players.
Here is another impressive team this season. Again, we witnessed excellent commitment to the team with great attendance at training and games. This saw the girls take out the Premiership as well! They worked hard against some difficult opponents and you could see their skills improve throughout the season with their commitment to attending training. These girls will be an impressive addition to Senior Girls’ Tennis next year.
YEAR 10
Mrs Shona Sunebeck Manager
Mrs Ralda Deoki Manager This team had an impressive commitment to training, and as the season went on, the girls’ confidence increased. The team was a mixture of Year 10 players and younger students. Regardless, all the girls improved notably throughout the season and proudly supported each other. As a team, they fused together well, whilst their skill level on the court certainly improved notably throughout the season. Congratulations to these girls.
YEAR 8
What an impressive team the Year 8’s were this season. Not only did they all show a wonderful commitment to training and games, they also won the Premiership! They were certainly a team and always supported each other and performed their other Tennis duties, such as umpiring games, with enthusiasm. Congratulations go out to this committed team and we look forward to their future success.
YEAR 7 Mrs Shona Sunebeck Manager In their first year representing Canterbury College in Tennis, it was an interesting season for the Year 7 team. Due to a number of washouts, the finals game was the only game these girls actually played as a team! Despite this, they managed to win the day and end up Fifth on the table. It was wonderful to see the girls display such sportsmanship and support of their team. Their commitment to training in the weeks leading up to their big game was most impressive. Well done to these girls and best of luck for their future as Canterbury College Tennis stars.

Mr Steve Green Coach
The team had a very successful 2013 finishing Third on the ladder for the season with a 5-3 win-loss record. With a strong group of 10 players, we started the season with some good wins. Aleisha Yu scored a hat-trick of tries in one game, the first of her two hat-tricks for the season. Monica Keleher had another consistent season, while Chelsea Currie caused plenty of mayhem for our opposition on the blind side. Special mention to our wingers Aleisha Yu and Nakita Maynard who played without substitutes for most of the season. Lauren Miller performed consistently, playing part season in the link and part on the wing. Amelia Cooper, the team spirit leader, provided plenty of go forward and enthusiasm for the team. The First VI were led admirably from the front by the two Captains Rhiannon Nind and Kelsee Green who played hard all season to ensure their team was in a good position running into the Finals. The season included a very good 8-2 win and three wins over one of our rivals, including our Third v Fourth playoff which we won 5-3. For her consistent effort and willingness to execute what she had learned, Jessica Bohan was rewarded with the Canterbury Spirit Award. Kelsee Green won Most Valuable Player while Rhiannon Nind was a deserving recipient of the Touch Football Player of the Year Award. Good season Honey Badgers! Many thanks to the Year 12’s in their final season at Canterbury for your support of the Canterbury Touch Football fraternity. You have certainly laid the foundation for our continued success. We will pick it up again in 2014 for another fantastic season.
If ever there was a team that deserved a good result it is this team. With modest game knowledge at the start of the season this wonderful team of players were the surprise packet of the year. The improvement in playing skills and confidence from game to game was immeasurable, and resulted in the team finishing Third overall for the season. The team gelled together well from the start, under team Captain Priyanka Maharaj. Hollie Hegarty was the team driver and talker and had a great season. In recognition of her positive contribution, Hollie earned the Canterbury Spirit Award. The team had one move all season: quick roll ball, dummy half picks up the ball, runs and passes to a teammate who scores. Annika Haigh, Kimberlee Anderson and Rebecca Taylor were the team’s go-to players for this move, scoring most of our tries this way. The season was not without its problems. We lost our winger Amelia Norton to a foot injury after a few games, much to her dismay; whilst Josephine Smith had injury concerns throughout the season. In one game, Josephine was carried off in the first half and managed to come back on in the second half. Nice work Jo! We won this game 6-5 in a try-for-try tussle. There was another close game which we won 5-4. Natasha Day picked up the game very well, turning into a very good defender. Katie Thompson put in an excellent effort every week, as did Sophia Norton. Congratulations to Kimberlee Anderson who had a consistent season and was awarded the team’s Most Valuable Player. There was not a standout player in this team, rather everyone contributed equally in the correct manner; and that’s how this team produced such a good season. For the regular season we won two, drew two and lost two. In our final we played for Third, which we won convincingly 6-2. Thank you to our assistant coach Mr Jeff Nind for your efforts at training and on game days, and our team statistician Mrs Enid Nind.

Lisa Kerr Year 10 Touch Football Team Player
Mr Matt Campbell Coach
The Year 10 Touch Football Team had an interesting start to the season, with a shortage of players a worrying reality. Luckily, we managed to get enough girls to play in time for the first game. This first game was a challenging one, with some of the girls never having played Touch Football before. Throughout the season, we gained more players and we improved immensely under the coaching of Mr Porter. We unfortunately had some narrow losses during the season; however we pulled through to record a win as well. We progressed to the play-off for Fifth Place. This, like many others throughout the season, was an intense game, but unfortunately, after playing with great teamwork and determination we finished our season in Sixth place. A huge thank you to Mr Porter for coaching, encouraging and pushing us to be better players, and also to the girls for such a great 2013 season. We all look forward to playing again.
At the start of the TAS Trimester 3, I was asked to coach the Year 8 Girls Touch Football Team. In the beginning I had 12 girls with little or no knowledge of the game, but all with an eagerness to learn. Initially I asked the girls what they wanted from the season, and the team were adamant they wanted the win the competition. I valued this mindset from the girls, and set a goal for the team to qualify for the Grand Final at season’s end. In the early weeks, training involved learning the basic skills and techniques, progressing to more advanced components and team aspects involved in the sport of Touch Football. After a modest 2-all draw in the pre-season, the girls performed exceptionally well in each round, with scores of 9-1, 8-0, 4-1, 21-1 and 10-0. This five wins from five games secured the girls a Grand Final spot before our Final Round match. In this round, the team came up against a very good side who ran out deserving winners 16-2 playing a fast paced, high quality brand of touch the girls had not encountered before. That set up the Grand Final match to be played against the same team at the opposition’s home ground. A tough ask, the team fought hard and remained composed, on occasions forcing many errors from the opposition, compelling them to change tactics. A special mention to Loie Webb for her performance in this match, easily playing her best game of the season. I personally would like to thank Mr David Howells and Canterbury College for the opportunity, Mrs Leanne Lyle for her help as manager, and the Year 8 Touch Football Team for a very enjoyable and successful season.
YEAR 9 Mrs Megan Christie Coach It was wonderful to witness this team’s improvement week after week. The result of the finals play-off for Fifth position allowed us to end the season on a massive high. For this match, the team was down a couple of players due to their commitments to other activities. We had only seven of our 11 players available to play. The warning whistle went for the start of the game and we had only five players present to take the field! Without hesitation and with an abundance of confidence, the five girls ran onto the field with one player down. For the next 15 minutes the girls played the best Touch Football they had ever played, only letting in two tries. Sighs of relief were clearly audible when India Baker appeared express. India made up for her lateness by scoring two tries in the second half, and then the team scored a third try which put them in the lead and ultimately won them the match. It was a great end to the season.

YEAR 7 Ms Jacinta Pascoe Manager We welcomed Year 7 to the TAS Fixtures for 2013 and with an enthusiastic team of girls we were ready to give it our all. The girls trained twice a week and amongst the giggles there were solid training sessions. With Mr Chris Cosgriff as our Coach, his dedication and wealth of knowledge gave us promise for the season. This was the first time some of these girls had played Touch Football and they very quickly grasped the concepts and game play, and soon were using words like “ruck”, “dummy-half” and of course the best word – TRY. Apart from scoring tries, there was an enormous amount of spirit, teamwork and wonderful sportsmanship. Our most exciting game was neck-and-neck all the way. We were evenly matched and this gave the girls wonderful experience. They began to see game plays and started to predict our opponents’ next move. This was the turning point for our girls as they began to understand the concepts of Touch Football. As the season progressed so did the girls’ strength in their game. Their hard work and commitment gave them the opportunity to play for Third on the ladder. With such a close and exciting game, the girls were very happy to gain Fourth. Credit must go to our Most Valuable Player Taylah Bohan and Zara Jensen who won our Canterbury Spirit Award. It was a privilege to be a part of a wonderful group of girls and I wish them well for the 2014 season.

The First VI boys had a tough season, and after some early disruptions we finally got started with a five-set loss to a strong opposition. This, however, showed we had the potential to win a few matches throughout the season. We played against some very tough teams, making the whole season extremely competitive. The boys should hold their heads high, as they laid it all on the line in every game. A big thanks to Captain Robert Joseph for leading the boys, whilst Royce Peckham deserves special mention for dominating the net all season long.
The Second VI had one of those years in which they lost four narrow fiveset games. In any other year they would have won all four and been near the top of the ladder. With that in mind they should be proud of their achievements as they were extremely competitive. With only three Year 12 students in this side, there is promise for next season. The Year 11 boys still have another year to go, and those boys will be keen to improve on their skills and game play so they can develop into a strong team which can translate into victory. A big thank you must go to the whole team for their attitude throughout the season, and also to their Coach, ex-student Brenton Meddings.

In 2013, the Year 10 Boys’ Volleyball Team was very successful. The boys were really enthusiastic, and with many returning teammates they were soon looking like a seasoned Volleyball team. Throughout the TAS season, the boys enjoyed some exciting training sessions run by Olympian Angela Clarke and member of the National Men’s Program Shane Alexander. The boys’ performance throughout the season was commendable. A special mention to James Ward, our Most Valuable Player, and Mason Donald, our Canterbury Spirit Award recipient for their noteworthy contributions to the team. Thank you to our parents and supporters for all of your efforts. See you courtside in 2014!
The Year 8 Volleyball Team enjoyed a strong season under the guidance of coach Ms Anna Rasmussen. The team made significant inroads in skill development and competition strategy throughout the season. It was pleasing to note the strong team chemistry that existed on and off the court, as this mateship certainly was beneficial in many of the tight games. The team finished a very creditable Fourth amongst a strong TAS Blue Division competition. It is certainly hoped that the bulk of the team put their hands up to play again in 2014, as it is very clear that this group has immense potential to develop into a prominent team in the Senior years.

The Year 9 boys’ season was an up and down one, consisting of many close games. Having their fair share of injuries and sickness, the boys trained hard, developing their skills and camaraderie. The points table was close towards the end of the season and the boys came through with two thrilling wins to secure Third Place! It was great to see the boys come together and produce some fantastic results. I wish the boys the best of luck with their future Volleyball endeavours and the best of luck for 2014.
For many of the Year 7 Team, Volleyball was a new sport; a sport that they had never played or watched before. Despite this, all members of the team were keen to learn and approached all aspects of the game with vigour and enthusiasm. Throughout the season, the Year 7 Volleyball Team claimed two victories and several narrow losses. It was very pleasing to witness the team’s profound development in terms of skill and teamwork. The sense of pride and achievement etched on the boys’ faces was evident as they achieved the “holy grail” of Volleyball: the dig, set and spike. This was achieved on several occasions throughout the season. This team has a bright future and we look forward to their involvement within the 2014 TAS Blue Division Boys’ Volleyball season.

Mr Mitchell Staples Coordinator
Mr Andrew Porter Coach
The First VI had a tough season finishing in Sixth position. Although unable to showcase their full talent and skills on a regular basis on court, they developed as a team throughout the season proving they could match it with some of the better teams. This team, with five of the nine girls in Year 11 or below, has a bright future ahead if they can continue developing. Led brilliantly by Caitlyn Fields, these girls showed tremendous determination throughout the season to ensure they were always in with a chance no matter the opposition. I must thank the girls for an enjoyable season and thank the outgoing Year 12 girls Caitlyn Fields, Cassidy Millard, Caitlin Thompson and Brooke Pelizzari for their years of service and dedication to Volleyball at Canterbury College.
What a thriller season it was! The Year 9 girls were exceptional from start to end, finishing with a well-deserved Third place. Throughout the season the girls exhibited passion and spirit at games, displaying some phenomenal skills to the spectators and myself. The girls were unlucky to lose two games this season, both in nail-biting two-point losses in the third set. It has been a pleasure coaching such a wonderful team and I am eager to see their participation and improvements in 2014.
SECOND VI Mr Mitchell Staples Coordinator This team of girls, coached by ex-student and Volleyball Captain Brenton Meddings, welcomed several new faces this season and promptly went about business, winning their first two games to sit atop the ladder heading into the bye round. The break could not have come at a worse time, disrupting the momentum the team had gained early in the season. They were unable to close out three of the remaining games and finished Sixth overall. The girls were no doubt a capable team and their final place does not reflect their true potential, and with many returning next season they should be keen to improve in 2014.
YEAR 10 Ms Samantha Nind Coach The Year 10 Volleyball girls had a wild opening to the season, but they encouraged more of their peers to join Volleyball and were soon back in action! A big thank you has to go to Ashleigh Johnson, Chelsea Ellis and Shalini Sharma for stepping up to the challenge and joining our team halfway through the season. The highlight of our season was definitely the final. I watched the girls play well as a team, as they put all the skills they had learnt throughout the season into their final game. I am so proud of what the girls have achieved and their immense improvement. Their teamwork, sportsmanship and courage throughout the ups and downs are to be highly praised. I have watched them all develop into brilliant young players with such potential to lead and make this sport great for Canterbury College. Thank you for a fantastic season, girls. I hope to see you all next season.
YEAR 8 Ms Jill McLeod Coach In 2013, the Year 8 girls thoroughly enjoyed every bit of playing Volleyball. Throughout the season, we improved a lot as a team with the help of our amazing coaches who have dedicated their time to making us the best team we can be. It was a great experience for all involved and we had many great achievements, including progressing to the semi-finals and displaying great sportsmanship towards other teams. We have had ups and downs but at the end of the day, we were a team that had fun. We cannot wait to play Volleyball again in 2014.
YEAR 7 Ms Jill McLeod Coach The Year 7 Volleyball Team enjoyed a creditable season with many of the girls playing Volleyball for the first time. The girls finished Third overall which involved several wins, a few losses and many big smiles across the season. It was very gratifying to witness the skill level of all players dramatically improving from the start of season. One area which certainly caught the eye of the Volleyball coaching staff was the profound development in serving and digging off an opponent’s serve. It is these areas that the foundation of further improvement will be laid upon. It is hoped that the bulk of the team play again in 2014, as it is clear they have immense potential.

In 2013, it was a Fair year so this was our main focus as the big fundraiser event for the year. The focus for the Parents and Friends Association (P&F) in 2013 was to raise funds for air conditioning the last block of Year 12 classrooms. Our donation for 2013 is $50,000. The P&F is the umbrella group for all the supporter groups and in this capacity coordinates activities and fundraising ideas with the supporter groups, for example the P&F has applied on behalf of the all the supporter groups to be on the barbecue roster at our new local Bunnings store. The P&F has made donations to support both the Rugby and Rowing Supporters Groups to support their specialist activities during 2013. The P&F hosted the barbecue for the Family Chapel in March and also ran the bar for the very successful Godspell production which added some funds to the bank account.

The Junior School really appreciate the Mother’s and Father’s Day stalls both of which earned a profit. These two events would not happen without the P&F Craft Group. We really need some new people to come along in 2014 so that these two events continue. A big thank you to Janet Munro, Kim Dale, Rachel Timms and Leanne Lawrie. The Fair was our major fundraiser for the year. I am pleased to report that it was a great success and well supported by all the supporter groups, a fantastic group of volunteers and many staff, especially Deborah Clarke. A big thank you to Fair Convenor Tony Wormald and to the amazing Leanne Lawrie, better known as the “Fudge Lady”. She has been involved in every Fair run over the last 14 years whilst her boys have been at Canterbury. Finally, thank you to this year’s committee for your hard work and support, it has been greatly appreciated: Tony Wormald (Vice President), Leanne Lawrie (Secretary), Stacey McIntosh (Treasurer), Margaret Whitlfield, Rodney Roy, Matt Bergman, Kim Dale, Mirielle Van Dijk and Craig Morrison.

JUNIOR SCHOOL REPORT Mrs Jenny George Dean of Junior School
ACADEMIC
Continuous improvement in all areas was the focus in the Junior School in 2013, with the effect being good outcomes achieved by our students. All staff were engaged in further consolidation and development of curriculum to better meet student needs for this purpose.
Ms Carlson also provided inservices on the new Geography Curriculum which will be fully implemented in 2014. A number of classes trialled geography units in 2013 in preparation, and year levels have planned units ready for implementation.
The Curriculum Coordinators continued to meet regularly with year level teams to support their review of assessment tasks so these items had clearly defined criteria matching the National Achievement Standards. The Scope and Sequence document for Prep-Year 6 was reviewed and redeveloped to meet Australian Curriculum, Assessment and Reporting Authority (ACARA) requirements. Mrs Julie-Ann Gaske as English Coordinator continued with the ISQ-funded Teaching Academy project as a literacy coach for teachers. Observation visits to classrooms, analysis of teaching skills and discussions with individual teachers formed some of the activities staff undertook under Mrs Gaske’s guidance, to maintain the focus on quality instruction in reading. This work contributed to positive collaborative opportunities for staff to share their ideas and programs. A bank of assessment tasks and marking rubrics were developed for consistency across each year level.
Differentiating curriculum units and assessment tasks was a priority this year and much was achieved in these areas with the support of Mrs Leanne Lyle in her role as Project Officer for Differentiation. Teachers were inserviced on different forms of differentiation and how implementing other modalities allows students to better access the curriculum. Mrs Lyle also undertook another big project of developing report comment banks in English, Mathematics, Science and History to improve consistency across year levels. These were successfully used in Semester 1 and 2 reports.
In Mathematics, under the leadership of Ms Therese Higgins, a detailed inventory was completed of resources and many additional resources were purchased to further support a more hands-on approach. Problem solving strategies were clearly defined and a sequential approach adopted across Prep-Year 6. The iMaths program was implemented and reviewed with changes being organised for 2014. The Mathletics online program was highlighted as an excellent resource for use by all students. Mrs Reina Messina took up the role of Science Coordinator in June and worked with staff in creating more detailed and inquiry-based assessments with year groups. Links were made with Science teachers in Middle and Senior Schools. A Science Club met each week and highlighted many interesting projects in which students could participate. History units were audited by Ms Juanita Carlson to ensure all skills and content were covered and Achievement Standards were included for each unit. Many additional History resources were added to support classroom work. Assessment tasks were redeveloped to include the language of the Core Curriculum Elements to provide consistency from Prep through to the Middle and Senior Schools.
Mr Jonathon Wheatley was appointed as Senior Curriculum Coordinator to oversee the implementation of the pedagogical framework Understanding by Design. Through year level meetings, workshops and individual consultations, enthusiastic staff trialled writing curriculum units using this framework in Semester 2. These units were reviewed at the end of the year to be ready for implementation in 2014.
Improving the use of technology in classrooms, especially with iPads, was a project undertaken by Mr Nick Akers. Certain classes trialled using iPads in small groups which proved quite successful. Mr Akers also liaised with Senior School Information Technology personnel to complete the Scope and Sequence for Information Technology Access across the Junior School. This will be used as a basis for curriculum and technology developments in the following year. Mrs Dickson was appointed in July as the Inclusive Education specialist for the Junior School. She has worked with staff to develop more informed learning plans for individual students to better meet their needs. A number of students have worked with Mrs Dickson in their classrooms. Our learning enrichment assistants have been involved in a number of training sessions in literacy and numeracy with Mrs Dickson to improve the quality of their work with students. Results from the National Assessment Program – Literacy and Numeracy (NAPLAN) tests for Years 3 and 5 showed our students performing at or well above State and National benchmarks. An action plan was devised after an in-depth analysis of the results by our Curriculum Coordinators. This plan was used to better prepare students in Years 2, 4 and 6 for the following year. Staff members were involved in using the data results to explicitly teach particular concepts requiring additional focus.

COMPETITIONS
EXCURSIONS AND INCURSIONS
Increasing numbers of students have participated in the International Competitions and Assessments for Schools (ICAS) in English, Spelling, Writing, Mathematics and Science with a significant number receiving Credits and Distinctions. Richard Bahrett (Year 6) achieved results in the top 10 per cent for Australasia for his work in the Australasian Mathematics Olympiad.
Any of these activities must be directly related to curriculum units being taught in the year level. These included the Year 1 visit to the Queensland Museum, Year 2 visit to Mayes Cottage, Year 3 visit to Lone Pine Sanctuary and Year 5’s Gold Rush excursion.
Other competitions entered included OptiMINDS, Mathletics World Challenge, Reader’s Cup, Logan City World Environment Day Poster, Chess and Debating.
EVENTS Our students enjoyed a number of events throughout the year which celebrated important activities such as Book Week, Under 8’s Day, Easter, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day. Children had the opportunity to dress up for the Book Week Parade, Easter Bonnet Parade and, for the Kindergarten children, as pirates. Other events included the Father’s Day evening, Family Picnic, Junior School Discos, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day breakfasts, Grandparents’ Day and Carols at Canterbury. To improve participation and timing of sports carnivals, separate carnivals were held for Interhouse Athletics, Cross Country, Swimming and Ball Games. The Year 5 Night of the Notables was a very successful event, with many notable Australians being presented by the students. To farewell our Year 6 students, a special service and morning tea was held to recognise their contribution to the Junior School. The K–2 Celebration Evening, themed “A Night at the Movies”, highlighted the joys of early childhood with each student receiving a book. Each year level performed a song and dance routine based on a song from a movie. The Annual Excellence Awards showcased the many academic and extracurricular strengths of the College’s Years 3-12 students.

A number of visitors also came to the College to support curriculum work. The Kindergarten children enjoyed the Toot, Whistle, Plunk and Boom, Pirate Treasure and Santa Around the World shows. Three authors came at separate times to speak with different groups of students about their work as an author. The Ned Show taught our students about never giving up, encouraging others and doing your best. Other visits included Bravehearts Ditto show for Kindergarten and Prep, Logan City Waterwise program and the Fire Brigade.
CAMPS Students from Years 3-6 are offered the opportunity to experience different forms of camps as they progress through the Junior School. An overnight camp at the College for Year 3 had an outer space focus, Year 4 went to Maranatha on a three-day adventure camp, Year 5 attended Tyalgum Ridge for a leadership-focussed camp and Year 6 to Canberra to explore the political and historical places there.

LEADERSHIP
FINAL WORDS
Our student leaders provided excellent leadership this year, from our Form Captains in Years 4–6 to our Junior School Captains Georgia Clipperton and Noah Rooney and Vice Captains Declan Prain and Tiffany Woods.
We are truly blessed at Canterbury to have staff of such a high calibre, with each member being committed to living the values of Canterbury and providing the best educational experiences they can for the students. The positive results achieved this year are a testament to their skills and dedication.
Our Humanitarian Captains Kyle Cossor, Hamish Kabel-Pluck, Alyssa Rule and Samuel Christian-Greenwood organised fund raising collections including Easter Eggs for the people in local aged care facilities, Jeans for Genes Day, Bandana Day and the Christmas Appeal. The House Captains Jaydan van Luyn, Isabella Borg, Marouna Henry, Sarah Grove, Ethan Graham, Meena Bakanay, Tyson Christian-Greenwood and Taylor Mosterd led enthusiastically at our interhouse carnivals. All of our Year 6 leaders attended the GRIP Leadership Day at the Brisbane Convention Centre which provided some very good insights for them about leadership. Our Year 5 Leadership Retreat set the scene for preparing these students for leadership positions in 2014. We were most fortunate to have the Mayor of Logan City, Mrs Pam Parker, and the Federal Member for Forde, Mr Bert van Manen, attend this day.
Parent partnerships with the College are also what add to making a student’s journey here as positive as it can be. Thank you to all parents who have contributed in so many ways throughout the year. The Junior School has seen some change in leadership positions in administration this year. Mrs Pauline Garforth very ably managed the Junior School in Term 1 and I thank her for her dedication, enthusiasm and positive outlook during all of her years here. Mrs Garforth retired in Term 2 and Mrs Paula Deighton has now been appointed Assistant Dean. She and I are looking forward to continuing on with our high expectations and plans for an exceptional year ahead. I am very proud of the endeavours and achievements of all in the Junior School in 2013.
CLUBS At lunchtime, students were able to nominate to attend a particular club run voluntarily by our teachers. These clubs included gardening, drawing, robotics, writing, computers and games.

MIDDLE SCHOOL

MIDDLE SCHOOL REPORT Mr Damien Coleman Dean of Middle School
Middle Schooling at Canterbury College remains an integral part of our students’ development. The Middle School has had significant success in the past and this remained the case in 2013. This was largely the result of the wonderful legacy left by Ms Lisa Holohan, the former Dean of Middle School, whose vision created a strong and enduring culture of personal achievement. I am fortunate to have inherited an experienced team of professional Middle School teachers who are passionate about what they do. This enthusiastic team is the driving force in providing so many meaningful opportunities for students to excel. 2013 provided an opportunity to reflect on the journey of Middle Schooling at Canterbury College. Canterbury was a pioneer, establishing its Middle School early in comparison to other schools. This became evident at the 2013 Middle Years of Schooling Association (MYSA) Conference, which showed Canterbury initiatives being introduced at other Middle Schools around Australia. I congratulate Mr Anthony Hillier who presented at this conference. The pursuit of excellence in the Middle School continues with new initiatives in both curriculum and pastoral care. The Good Shepherd program in Year 7 provides students the opportunity to develop a sense of security when settling into the Middle School community. The Year 8 Rock and Water program continues to produce confident and resilient young men and women. The Innovations@Canterbury program in Year 9 enables
234
CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
our students to develop their organisational and communication skills in order to make a difference. We are fortunate to have staff who believe in the value of such programs in addressing the growing needs of our student body. The key people involved in the organisation of these programs are the Year Level Coordinators who have spent long hours monitoring and guiding our students in their life journeys. Mr Ray Sauer (Year 7), Mr Anthony Hillier (Year 8) and Mrs Mafalda Stevenson (Year 9) have done a magnificent job with their respective year levels. They have worked tirelessly on organising camps, dance nights and Kokoda excursions for our children. I would like to thank them for their professionalism and genuine concern for our students in the Middle School. The success of the Pastoral Care program relies heavily on the caring form teachers who see our students every day. They celebrate both the big and small achievements made by the children and encourage them to do the best they can in everything they do. Form teachers are often the first adult at school to discover the concerns of the students and attempt to provide soothing words of assistance and reflection. These teachers are to be thanked for their involvement in the variety of activities associated with their most significant position. The Year 7’s began the introduction to Middle School with a trip to Mt Coot-tha to take part in their Kokoda Challenge day where students were able to hone their communication skills while getting to know students they had not associated with previously. The Year 7’s were challenged throughout the day to plan and execute simulated rescues. This is a valuable day to unpack relationships and build a team mentality to begin the year. The Year 8’s continued to build their resilience levels with their involvement in the Rock and Water program. Mr Anthony Hillier and his team are experienced with this course and have fine-tuned the activities for the students. The program offers the Year 8’s skills in developing self-regulating and self-reflecting strategies. One activity saw the Year 8’s record presentations about what it is to be an effective bystander. These presentations were a highlight when shown by Mr Hillier at the MYSA Conference. The Year 8’s began the year well with their camp to Emu Gully. This was
M I DDL E S C HOOL RE P ORT
a great way to begin the year, with new and enduring friendships being forged. The Year 8’s were challenged every day in trying to fulfill personal goals in the various activities. This is a wonderful way to begin the year and the camp has been cemented into the calendar for years to come. The Year 9’s were further developing their personal skills throughout the Innovations@Canterbury program. Innovations is now the pinnacle of the Middle School Pastoral programming as it brings together the skills and knowledge from the students’ previous years. The purpose is to make a difference. Students in 2013 did a splendid job in making vital decisions regarding group objectives, planning, and implementation of their projects. The outcomes were of a high standard with several outside groups commenting on the quality of the exhibition day. Mrs Stevenson and Mrs Deanne Hamilton were instrumental in assisting the students in the program. The Year 9’s have been a positive example to the rest of the Middle School. Their graduation celebration was a wonderful end to their years in the Middle School. I wish them well in their future studies. The chapels in the Middle School remain a core ingredient in our students’ development. Assisted by the Spiritual Development classes, Reverend Elroy Mee was able to create inspirational experiences for our children to reflect on. The chapels remain focussed on the core values of the College: Compassion, Respect, Integrity, Scholarship, Community, and Social and Environmental Responsibility. I thank Reverend Mee for her dedication to our students’ spiritual development and for the support she continually provides for our dedicated staff. The Middle School Curriculum Coordinators have worked tirelessly to ensure our students are well catered for in the classroom. They continually strive to perfect their courses of study to reflect either Queensland Studies Authority (QSA) expectations or that of the Australian Curriculum and Reporting Authority (ACARA). Their priorities have been based on student engagement which saw some exciting programs develop to create deeper student understanding. In NAPLAN, the Year 7 cohort presented admirable results in 2013. The students performed above the National benchmark which reflected well on the students’ development in the areas of spelling, reading, writing, punctuation and grammar, and numeracy. The Year 7’s were particularly strong in reading, writing, grammar and punctuation with results of at
least 12 points above benchmark. In writing and numeracy, the results for Year 7’s saw 99 per cent of the cohort reach National benchmark. This is an admirable achievement. The Year 9’s also achieved significant results in their NAPLAN tests. Their writing and numeracy results were particularly strong, being 29 points and 26 points above National benchmark respectively. This is an outstanding result for this cohort and certainly indicates a bright academic future for these students in the years ahead. Our Middle School Assemblies have been a useful tool in celebrating the achievements of students throughout the year. We have had much to celebrate with achievements in sporting, academic and cultural pursuits. The Middle School Captains have played a major part in the running of the Assemblies. I thank Alexander Asher and Chelsea O’Connor for their active participation. It is so important for other students to see what leadership entails. It has been a challenging first year as Dean of Middle School but it has been made so much easier with the support of the Assistant Dean of Middle School Mr Alan Lyle, whose experience in addressing the needs of adolescents and knowledge of the Middle School students is invaluable. He has been a great support in helping make decisions about the children’s education. I would also like to pay tribute to Mrs Allison Apps whose advice was freely given in identifying concerns amongst the student population. She has been missed since leaving the College and it was a pleasure to see her at Year 12 Final Roll Call. I would also like to thank Ms Jacinta Pascoe for her tremendous work in addressing the issues faced by our students every day and for providing such a positive atmosphere for all walking into the Middle School Administration. Middle School remains an important point in time for our adolescents. They require specific attention and mentoring to help them make the right decisions for their future. I am proud of the team who make Middle Schooling work so well at Canterbury College. I would finally like to thank Mrs Donna Anderson for having the foresight to recognise the important needs of the developing adolescent and for her continued support of the Middle School.

YEAR 7 REPORT Mr Ray Sauer Year 7 Coordinator
The Year 7 students of 2013 have had a significant year in terms of challenges, adjustments and achievements. The progression from the Junior School into Year 7, the first year of Middle School, is an important milestone and a demanding time. Year 7 is recognised as a transition year in which the students are supported to make the adjustment and to successfully cope with the changes inherent in the move to the Middle School. They have had the opportunity to enjoy the educational opportunities accumulated from working with teachers from different curriculum areas, while still having the constant support and nurturing of their core Pastoral Care teacher.
236
CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
Throughout the year, in Pastoral Care activities as well as incidentally, the students have engaged in experiences to develop qualities of organisation, resilience and persistence. This has equipped them to meet the demands of secondary schooling as well as day-to-day life in the wider community. A highlight was the Good Shepherd program, in which Mr Glen Walker and a select group of committed and enthusiastic Year 11 students worked with the Year 7 cohort in a peer tutoring program. The Good Shepherds provided a support system for their younger buddies, facilitating activities to develop qualities for success. The Year 7 students have benefited from rich and diverse academic, cultural, sporting and social experiences. There have been many memorable moments, and the year kicked off in fine style with a threeday transition program. Students and teachers were able to get to know each other while participating in a range of fun and challenging activities which promoted personal growth. A highlight of this program was a day with Kokoda Character Builders, completing a gruelling course which featured many team building activities at Mt Coot-tha. Students from Year 7 represented the College admirably in a wide range of sporting and cultural activities, both through individual involvement and as part of a team, choir or band. They particularly enjoyed taking part in the Interhouse Sports Carnivals. Their participation has helped to enrich and enhance their lives, and it is great to see so many students taking advantage of the wide range of opportunities available at Canterbury College. I would like to thank the Year 7 form teachers of 2013 Ms Jillian McLeod, Mrs Jan Paterson, Ms Katrina Moore and Ms Madeleine Wallas for their commitment, professionalism and care of their students throughout the year. The young men and women of Year 7 have given their teachers many reasons to feel proud of their endeavours and achievements throughout the year. I wish them well in Year 8 and beyond, and I look forward to bearing witness to their triumphs at Canterbury College in the years ahead.

YEAR 8 REPORT Mr Anthony Hillier Year 8 Coordinator
In 2013, Year 8 commenced with approximately 50 new students taking the cohort to 150. Students at Canterbury College have the opportunities to extend their education beyond the classroom by undertaking service contributions, by representing the College at elite academic, cultural and sporting competitions and events and by participating in camps, excursions, workshops and unique oncampus activities. The new and exciting challenges faced by the students commenced during Week 1 with the Year 8 Camp. This was followed by activities including the Year 8 Retreat, Year 8 Rock and Water Role Play Competition and activities, Adidas School Fun Run and the opportunity for students to become Middle School Leaders for 2014. The Year 8 cohort faced many challenges, starting with the camp at Emu Gully. The focus of the camp was adventure camping to build resilience, cooperative behaviours and team work. The students spent three days and two nights sleeping in tents, preparing their own food using ration packs and spending plenty of time in and around some very exciting muddy activities. Some of the feedback from the students included: “We got to do awesome activities.” “We got to ride buggies and go in mud pits.” “We were able to cook and prepare our own food.” “We were able to use different equipment that we would not normally be able to use e.g. GPS.” “We were able to hang out with our friends while doing fun activities.” “We were able to make new friends.” “We were able to bond with the new people in our classes.”
During Term 1, students acquired the fundamental skills of the Rock and Water program and learnt about the “Power of the Bystander”. The Rock and Water program uses the building blocks of self-control, self-reflection and self-confidence. The Power of the Bystander unit complemented the program through teaching about the involvement of bystanders and how all types of bystanders can play a positive or negative role in any situation. As a part of this program, students wrote scripts and filmed role plays in Terms 2 and 3. Students were responsible for creating a realistic interpretation of how one could deal with a bullying situation through their knowledge and understanding of the Rock and Water program. During Term 4, all Year 8 students had the opportunity to nominate themselves for several leadership positions for 2014. In the Middle School we look for students who can clearly demonstrate the College Values: Integrity, Respect, Compassion, Scholarship, Social and Environmental Responsibility, and Community. The students must not only apply these aspirational values but they must also be willing to practise them in a spirit of grace and forgiveness. They must be ready to acknowledge their mistakes, show a willingness to learn from them and give the opportunity for others to do the same. The students selected as leaders will be positive role models in 2014 for the Middle School and the College. Finally, I would like to thank all the Year 8 form teachers for 2013. These teachers were Mr Peter Gagen, Mr Nick Medcalf, Mr Chris Pollock, Ms Kathy Simpson, Ms Megan Annand and Mr Greg Hall. Their caring nature, professionalism, and support are much appreciated. I would like to finish by thanking all parents for their support and encouragement throughout the year for both staff and students of Year 8.

School Policy Overviews are taken very seriously at Canterbury College and the form teachers spent a lot of time highlighting the expectations for Middle School Leaders. Students also worked on study habits early in Term 1 to ensure they got the best out of their academic subjects. Altitude Day was quite an energising experience for our Middle School Captains. It enhanced all the skills learnt at school and explored methods of taking a positive approach to life. I will take this opportunity to congratulate all Middle School Captains for their inspirational leadership this year.
YEAR 9 REPORT Mrs Mafalda Stevenson Year 9 Coordinator
2013 has been a fabulous year for Year 9 students. They thrived and enjoyed participating in a variety of aspects of their schooling. The sporting arena certainly buzzed throughout the year with many Year 9 sporting accomplishments. Culturally, some students got involved in Debating and the Musical and of course others purely focussed on their academic pursuits, which was clearly evident and well acknowledged at our Annual Excellence Awards. There were many avenues available to enable Year 9 students to shine. The final year of Middle School has undoubtedly been a memorable experience. Our talented Year 9 students certainly set the bar high in Term 1. They had the chance to explore a range of electives that helped them set their goals for future opportunities. They worked solidly building on their strengths and identifying their weaknesses. This focus and strong work ethic was evident in the many awards that were distributed for Academic Excellence throughout the year at Middle School and Year Level Assemblies. Year 9’s also participated in a range of activities in form class aimed at assisting their social and emotional wellbeing. On a social front the concept of cyber safety was introduced and explored through a variety of PowerPoint presentations and handouts. The topic was also discussed at the Year 9 Parent Evening, allowing parents to talk carefully with their children about strategies to be applied at home. From an emotional/personal development perspective, students participated in Boy/Girl Day. This day was specifically designed to cater for gender differences and allowed students the benefit of learning important techniques from knowledgeable guest speakers.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
Year 9 Retreat was then another event which captured the essence of the whole Term by focussing on “Choices and Consequences”. This was a huge success providing students with a chance to reflect on their spirituality and learn to make appropriate choices. I really enjoyed and feel privileged to have met so many wonderful young people who have grown into mature, strong-willed decision makers. I encourage all students who spent so many hours through lunch breaks and after school being counselled and those who listened to all my motivational speeches at Assemblies to stay strong; things are never as bad as they seem. Most importantly remember to always talk to an adult you can trust and confide in your parents. They love you and want the best for you. The event that set the Year 9 students above the rest, however, was the Innovations@Canterbury program. Students were busily involved in this program for the entire Term 2 and Term 3. It was only at the conclusion of Term 3 that students were able to show off their hard work at the Exhibition. It has to be stated that the event was absolutely amazing! The students worked extremely hard preparing for the big day and it was certainly obvious, with all the interactive displays and presentations, that they have set a very high standard. I am so very proud of what they were able to achieve. Term 4 was comparatively short, but very busy. Students reflected on Innovations and discussed in their designated groups what worked and what could possibly be improved on. These sessions were invaluable and a great way to tie any loose ends. The nature of the Term encouraged students to focus on academic subjects and the transition to Year 10. Christmas activities added some fun to form classes and created a nice balance between academic and social dynamics. The Year 9 Graduation was also an occasion when students not only got embarrassed with the display of their adorable baby photos, but proudly received their Year 9 Certificates as a conclusion to the year. I would like to finish by thanking all parents and families for their support throughout the year. A special thank you to all Year 9 form teachers for all their hard work, encouragement and assistance: Mrs Alex Patten, Ms Sarah Bentley, Ms Micha Andersson, Mr Nick Gillin, Ms Regina Fisher, Mrs Reina Mesina and Mrs Allira Riikonen. A thank you also to Mr Damien Coleman, Dean of Middle School, and Mr Alan Lyle, Assistant Dean, for their unlimited support. Lastly, a big goodbye and good luck to all Year 9 students. I really enjoyed working with you all and hope that Year 10 treats you all well.

SENIOR SCHOOL
257
SENIOR SCHOOL REPORT Mr Tony Nutt Dean of Senior School The Senior School at Canterbury College has been well established over several years, covering Years 10, 11 and 12. In 2013 our population of approximately 500 students contributed to a very successful year across the academic, extracurricular and social aspects of school life. In the academic domain, the focus of the Year 12’s on school, university, TAFE and traineeship-based studies is to be commended. Their energy, participation, persistence and resilience in such a wide range of academic endeavours sets a fine standard for other students. The vast majority of Year 12 students participated in the sporting or cultural aspects of school life. Their commitment to participating and pride in representing their school was often evident. In 2013 the tone of the College was positive, due in no small way to the manner in which our Seniors conducted themselves in classes, activities and around campus. The College Captains, Vice Captains and Prefects set a fine example for the College in this regard. Congratulations to Eleanor Hilston and Eamon Kearns on a fine year as Captains, well supported by Rhiannon Nind and Daniel Taifalos as Vice Captains. The Prefects and House Captains too led from the front and contributed to the ongoing building of school spirit at Canterbury. The energy and emotion of valedictory week was again a fitting end to their last service year at Canterbury College. We wish each graduating student well as they venture onto new opportunities and challenges in the workforce and further study. With these foundations, we wish the leaders of the next few years well as they move into the leadership roles of Senior School.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
The Academic endeavours of the Seniors were commendable in 2013, with our Annual Excellence Awards being a memorable event in November. The Dux of Canterbury College was awarded to Ebony Williams and we again offer Ebony our congratulations. Darren Sharma was announced First in Year 11, and First in Year 10 was Shareen Mishra. In 2013, the opportunities universities, TAFEs, traineeships and apprenticeships offered to Seniors were gratefully accepted by many students. Large numbers of Seniors undertook university or TAFErelated studies or pathways in 2013, and many of those who studied university courses gained credit and or entry into courses for 2014. Our relationships with Bond University, Griffith University and the University of Southern Queensland strengthened during 2013. Subjects studied at university included Music, Performing Arts, Law, Engineering, Mass Communication and Information Technology. We valued our partnership with Griffith University in offering first-year courses in Painting and the Introduction to Performance Skills on our Canterbury campus. The initiative of having all of Year 10 expected to do Work Experience at the end of Semester 1 again proved to be an excellent opportunity for students to learn more about potential careers, the world of work and training pathways to future employment. Our teachers at Canterbury continue to be thoroughly professional and committed to their vocation as educators. Across 2013, we again saw the dedication to and encouragement of students by our teachers and Curriculum Coordinators. Special thanks is given to the Curriculum Coordinators who head our Key Learning Areas: Mrs Deanne Hamilton (Spiritual Development), Mr Kirk Astill (SOSE), Ms Sarah Bakanay (Languages), Mr Tim Ballam-Cross (English), Mrs Suzi Bennett (Visual Art/Film Television and New Media), Mrs Megan Christie (Health and Physical Education), Mrs Caroline Diprose (Home Economics), Mrs Kerrie Hurford (Hospitality), Mr Matthew Kopelke (Drama) Mr Laurie Maetam (Science), Dr Katrina Peddell (Music), Mr Mitchell Staples (Mathematics), Mrs Alana Patterson (Industrial Technology and Design, and IPT), and Ms Amanda Waddell (Dance).
S E NI OR S C HOOL RE P ORT
The pastoral approach of staff at the College is reflected not only in their daily manner but also in the teaching components of our Canterburyspecific Values across a wide range of domains. In form classes, at Assemblies and in personal conversations, the College Values of Respect, Integrity, Compassion, Social and Environmental Responsibility, Scholarship and Community were regularly used as our reference points. Our Pastoral programs provided students with guest speakers covering a wide range of topics including cyber safety and safe use of digital technologies - an area receiving regular media attention. The Year 12 Formal of 2013 was a highlight of our social calendar for students. The Seniors presented themselves well and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience at South Bank. Thank you to Mrs Diana Glover and her team of teachers for their great work in making the event so successful. As well, the Year 10 students danced and interacted at their Dinner Dance in October in a manner reflective of their maturity and desire to enjoy themselves. Mrs Joy Turnor and her form teachers contributed to this event also being a highlight of the year. Our form teachers showed care for the individual on a daily basis and shared the many positives of the retreats and camps held. These fine teachers, ably led by our Year Level Coordinators Mrs Diana Glover in Year 12, Mr Glen Walker in Year 11 and Mrs Joy Turnor in Year 10, provided great stability in the lives of our students. To the Year Level Coordinators, congratulations are also due on the many events they organised and coordinated over the year, ranging from camps and social events offcampus, to the many functions held on-campus including the many careers-based gatherings across the year. In the preparations our students undertake for work and further study, the tireless efforts of Mrs Colette Naicker in the Careers Counselling role were appreciated by the parents, staff and especially the class of 2013. The increased demands of subject choice, intentions for further study, scholarship applications, enrolments at TAFE or Apprenticeship/ Traineeship programs in 2013 were challenges well met and ably facilitated by Mrs Naicker.
In support of our students, Ms Michelle Sams has continued her fine work of previous years in individual support and counselling. The demands of the Senior years and being young adults can at times generate pressures, as can outside circumstances, which require the calm and supportive guidance of an experienced professional. Thank you to Ms Sams for her support of our Seniors in 2013. The extracurricular components of school life at Canterbury College in 2013 saw the dreams and aspirations of many Seniors realised. The Choral, Dance and Instrumental performance programs gained the attention of many enthusiastic students. When reviewing the Musical Godspell, Gala Concerts, eisteddfods, special event performances such as the Annual Excellence Awards and Canterbury Idol, our Senior performers can take great pride in their successes and contributions to this ever growing arena of excellence at the College. In the sporting domain, the TAS teams played in a manner which saw the College participate in the elite Blue Division in 2013 across all Trimesters and carnival-based sports. Congratulations to all sportspeople, their coaches and especially Mr David Howells as Director of Sport. In supporting the TAS carnivals, our own preliminary Interhouse Carnivals in Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics were keenly contested by our Houses. The Seniors continued the tradition of participating actively and loudly at these special events in 2013. The year has been busy and rewarding. I express my appreciation and admiration for my colleagues, especially Dr Debra Tedman (Assistant Dean of Senior School), Mrs Colette Naicker (Careers Counsellor), Mrs Katrina Flower (Office Coordinator) and Mrs Cheryl Finglas (PA to the Dean of Senior School) for their particular dedication, attention to detail and commitment to the many and varied challenges of the Senior School.

YEAR 10 REPORT Mrs Joy Turnor Year 10 Coordinator
It has been my pleasure and privilege to have been the Year 10 Coordinator for 2013. The first year of Senior School provided many opportunities for students to show maturity and independence, and this particular Year 10 group excelled at both throughout the year. Over the course of 2013, there have been many activities and experiences that the Year 10 cohort has been involved with. Some of these were Work Experience, the Logan Careers Expo excursion, Subject Selection Evening and SET Plan Evening and of course the Year 10 Dinner Dance on the Kookaburra Queen to top off the year. Work Experience allowed students to find their own placements and make arrangements about times and responsibilities. For some, the task was easy; for others finding a placement reflected the real life challenge of searching for a job. A series of presentations were organised by Mrs Colette Naicker in relation to deportment and grooming, and there were also opportunities to listen to speakers from a variety of TAFEs and technical colleges. The majority of students undertook their Work Experience in the final week of Term 2. The feedback from employers was overwhelmingly positive and the students did themselves, their families and the College proud. The main reasons behind introducing Work Experience were to aid the students in making some decisions about their future study/ work opportunities and to expand their experiences within the wider community. So in July, we were hoping to build on what insights they
260
CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
had gained and utilise this information to complement that obtained from Curriculum Coordinators on Subject Selection Evening so that SET Plans could be completed. The Pastoral Care program also allowed students to further develop skills in goal setting, maintaining effective study habits and making career choices. In October, we celebrated the efforts of the students with a river cruise and Dinner Dance on the Kookaburra Queen. It was a night of enthusiastic dancing, laughing, eating and more dancing. The night saw an array of sophisticated outfits, coupled with appropriate manners and behaviour. Many people commented on how much they enjoyed the evening and felt it was over far too quickly. Some special highlights of 2013 that spring to mind are: students participating in external trade courses for one or two days a week; individual selections at International level in Swimming, State level in Swimming, Basketball, Equestrian, Cross Country and Athletics; participation in the Australian Space Design Competition and the Musical Godspell. The year ended with calls for participants in the Good Shepherd program. Indicative of the spirit in this group, the number of applicants was double (possibly triple) what we could accept. We have no doubt that the students chosen as Good Shepherds will all have a lot to offer the Year 7’s in 2014. I would like to thank the form patrons for their ongoing commitment to our Year 10’s this year: Mr Matthew Beiers, Mrs Donna Scott, Mrs DonnaMarie Forsyth, Mr Ian Lees, Ms Lisa Muir and Mr Martin Taylor. With their support, the Year 10 form groups have certainly benefitted from a wealth of experience in guiding them forward. Mr Tony Nutt and Dr Debra Tedman also must be acknowledged for their commitment to and efforts with the Year 10 students. I would also like to take the opportunity to thank the parents and families who supported me and the form patrons, for without this, I do not feel the year would have been as successful as it was. Finally, I would like to wish the Year 10 students all the best for their future studies here at Canterbury and hope that they embrace the next stage of their schooling journey.

YEAR 11 REPORT Mr Glen Walker Year 11 Coordinator
The Year 11 group of 2013 had a very positive year. They were a friendly and energetic cohort who possessed a wide variety of skills and talents. Students focussed on leadership in preparation for Year 12 and the study skills needed to be successful in their Senior studies. By demonstrating the College Values of Integrity, Respect, Compassion, Social and Environmental Responsibility, Scholarship and Community, the students learnt a lot about themselves and the way they interact with the world around them.
The Good Shepherd program ran throughout Terms 1 and 2. A dedicated group of students helped the Year 7 students in their transition to Middle School. The Good Shepherds were wonderful role models for their younger counterparts. One of the highlights of the year was the Leadership Camp held at Luther Heights Youth Camp at Coolum. The students not only developed their leadership skills but also came together as a group. The Spiritual Retreat on the first day set the tone for the camp. A collegial atmosphere amongst the group enabled them to work effectively in developing ideas and strategies they can act on as the Class of 2014. The Year 11 group was heavily involved in the extracurricular program. A large number of students tasted success on the sporting field. Many of the Year 11 students had key roles in the College Musical Godspell. Their contributions are very much appreciated. I would like to thank the Year 11 form teachers Mr Brett Bennett, Mrs Gemma Cardillo, Ms Amanda Waddell, Mrs Bernadette Coultas, Mr Bryan Shephard, Dr Katrina Peddell and Mrs Caroline Diprose for the care they showed the students throughout the year.

YEAR 12 REPORT
and scholarship taken from the year will benefit our students in the years to come.
Mrs Diana Glover Year 12 Coordinator
In addition to their academic studies, the students participated and excelled in many activities during the year including the Interhouse Swimming and Athletics Carnivals, the many TAS Sport fixtures, Debating, Music, Theatre and Dance. Many contributed in various ways to the College Musical Godspell, on stage and off. These are but some of the activities our Seniors were involved in. Through it all, the students were mindful of their role as leaders of the College community. Many took on positions of leadership as Captains, be it Sporting, Cultural or Prefects. These students guided, cheered and inspired their peers and younger students and did so with distinction.
The 2013 Year 12 cohort were determined to be involved in every activity and to encourage school spirit through participation. They set the standard high by participating in many school activities and supporting others by wearing their Senior jerseys with pride. Formal study for the students was marked with many long hours dedicated to their academic programs and preparation for the Queensland Core Skills (QCS) Test in September. Students also completed TAFE courses, traineeships and school-based apprenticeships in readiness for their post-school lives. The skills

The College Captains and Prefects met regularly to discuss and organise their projects. This year saw the beginning of a mentoring program in the younger year levels. Senior leaders visited allocated form classes and joined them for Assemblies. The leaders also became role models by being visible in the various year areas. I was honoured and at times humbled by the spirit of the Senior leaders who gave their time and energy to any activity and any task presented. They represented the cohort admirably and I feel privileged to have worked with them.

As tradition has it, the Year 12’s worked together to give a parting gift to the College, and this time it was two cold water bubblers for the students. This was achieved through energetically washing cars at TAS Sporting games, baking goodies to be sold at Music events and cooking sausages at a number of barbecues. The Year 12 calendar began with the Senior Formal held in the last week of Term 1. This memorable event, held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, saw students don beautiful gowns and suits to dance and enjoy the evening. The Senior leaders also organised to watch the State of Origin Final together at the College and raise money through a barbecue. It was a memorable night for all. The final Camp for the graduating class of 2013 was held in Term 4. It was held at Alexandra Headlands and provided time for reflection as well as the fun of ten pin bowling, swimming and the garbage bag formal. This was a colourful and creative night where the students performed the dances they learned from the Footsteps Dance Team. After the final assessments in Term 4, it was time for the very special events that students had been looking forward to all year. It began with an exciting day at Wet ‘n’ Wild followed by the Annual Excellence Awards night, when we celebrated the many achievements of so many of our
Senior students. It ended with the traditional recessing of the cohort, followed by the College war cry. The Valedictory Dinner was a special evening held on the final Thursday at the Legends Room of the Brisbane Cricket Club at the Gabba. The final day at school was as special as everyone had hoped, with a delicious breakfast followed by a moving Valedictory service and the calling of the Year 12 roll for the last time in 2013. It was truly a day to celebrate a memorable year. Our form patrons Mr Steve Porter, Mrs Suzi Bennett, Mr Tim Roberts, Mrs Simone Hartley, Mr Tory Mills and Ms Jacinta Cain provided guidance and support throughout the year to make it a memorable time for all. I thank them for their commitment to the students. It has been a privilege for me to be Year 12 Coordinator to such a wonderful group of young people. 2013 has been a memorable year for our Year 12 cohort. When they graduated in November, they did so with joy and a few tears, after their time together as Canterbury College students. To the Year 12 students: We all wish each and every one of you the very best. Your genuine warmth and open friendliness is what sets you apart. “We hope your dreams take you...to the corners of your smiles, to the highest of your hopes, to the windows of your opportunities, and to the most special places your heart has ever known.” Unknown

Ski Trip 201 3 278
In the lead up to this year’s Ski Trip, 37 Year 12 students and the four supervising staff regularly checked the snow reports in anticipation for the opening of New Zealand’s south island ski season. Thankfully, luck was on our side, with lots of early season snow providing us with a sufficient base and all lifts operating. Our tour party skied and boarded at Mt Hutt near Methven, and Coronet Peak and The Remarkables near Queenstown.
CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
Unfortunately, Mt Hutt did not provide us with the most pleasurable skiing conditions. We were forced to have a down day on what was meant to be our first day of skiing. Mt Hutt had lived up to its nickname “Mt Shut”. We finally hit the snow on Day 3 of the tour but the conditions were deplorable with galeforce winds almost pushing us back up the mountain! This did not deter our students. After their first morning lesson practising on the magic carpet, the students were itching to try out their newly-acquired skills on a more difficult run. Thankfully, most of them had gained some degree of control and were able to make it safely down their first green run. We had so many funny moments on our trip. Many involved getting on or off the chair lifts or the wearing of the “Shorts of Shame” – an ugly pair of boxer shorts that the last late student had to wear. The students were wonderful ambassadors for Canterbury and a pleasure to travel with. We hope that this opportunity has instilled a passion for skiing, boarding and travel. Thank you to Mr Mitchell Staples, Mr James Jenkins and Ms Jacinta Cain for accompanying the students on the trip. Mrs Megan Christie Ski Trip Coordinator

DECLAN MARTIN HEGARTY - A LIFE REMEMBERED The hearts, thoughts and prayers of the Canterbury College community went out to the Hegarty family after the loss of their beloved son and brother, Declan (Year 4), in July. A special tribute was paid to him at the Annual Excellence Awards, as Dean of Junior School Mrs Jenny George remembered Declan’s life with the following address.
Declan Martin Hegarty joined his sister Hollie and brother Angus at Canterbury College in 2009 in Prep. He quickly found his place here through his happy outlook on life and warm, generous smile. Declan established many friendships but he and Ben Neumann were the best of buddies all through his short life. They did everything together. In Prep, Declan loved constructing buildings and running around with his mates. He was a typical, active little boy. As he grew, he was involved in playing football on the oval and handball. His learning in class was also developing and he particularly enjoyed Science and History. In 2012, Declan was diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer in his spine, which caused him to lose mobility and he became confined to a wheelchair. But this did not stop him from joining in activities and enjoying life with his friends. Declan loved playing chess and having time in the library. Even though food and drinks are not allowed nor computer games played, Declan somehow seemed to be able to do all three of these in there. Even as Declan continued his treatments and was quite unwell, it did not deter him from being involved and maintaining his cheery outlook. He still went to HPE and gave it a go in his wheelchair. He would happily attend sports days to support his brother and sister, even though he was unable to compete.

CANTE RBURY COL L EGE YEARBOOK 2013
Despite many medical interventions and hospitalisation, Declan sadly passed away in July this year. Yes, he is missed every day by his family, his friends and all who knew him at Canterbury College. He is someone you cannot forget. But Declan has left us a wonderful legacy, as you see, he taught us how to keep fighting when the chips are down, how to overcome challenges and have the courage to enjoy and appreciate your life even if you are in great pain or distress. Declan allowed his friends to show real friendship by letting them care for him and support him by pushing him in his wheelchair and helping him with his activities. From him, we learnt the importance of inclusivity, of compassion and consideration of others’ needs in a very real sense. He provided all of us with a positive role model of how to keep going no matter what challenges are thrown at us. Declan was a little boy with a big smile but an even bigger heart. He gave so many people joy and love. Our memory of him will not be lost. Could you please join with me now and bow your heads Dear God We thank you for the life of Declan and for all the love and friendship he gave to his family and this community at Canterbury College. May he rest in peace knowing how much he was loved. Amen
An Irish Blessing (A Blessing from St. Patrick)
May the road rise to meet you, May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, May the rain fall soft upon your fields, And, until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of His hand.
(Traditional Irish Blessing; origin unknown, although some attribute it to St. Patrick.)
