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

ANNUAL REPORT 2013 CANTERBURY COLLEGE 2 3

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.

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.

An historian should be able to review our Awards Evening and gain a comprehensive view of what Canterbury College has achieved throughout 2013.

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 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 do 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, Coordinator of Mission and Community Development, 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 sensory motor and perceptual motor development of our youngest students. Many schools miss this extra emphasis on sensory motor development.

We pay tribute to our student leaders who led our College with enthusiasm, especially to our Captains Eleanor and Eamon. We say thank you to teachers and staff who guide your children each day.

Head of College Report


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 Damian 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.

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.

Our plans for 2014 include the following:

• We will continue our involvement with Independent Schools Queensland.

• 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.


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, and I thank Jonathan 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.

Chairman of the Board Report

Chairman of the Board Report Mr Jeff Thomas


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.

Chairman of the Board Report


Interlochen Student These past two weeks at Canterbury College have been just wonderful. It is such an honour to be welcomed at your College and be able to perform for your students. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness and hospitality. The Interlochen trip will be very good for your students. I hope they learn and grow culturally as much as I have on this amazing trip to Brisbane. Hopefully our paths cross again. You have a fine College full of diversity and strong morals. Interlochen could use a lesson or two from your students.

Interlochen Student Thank you so much for all you have done for us. We cannot explain the effect this trip has had on our lives and experiences.

Chiben Gakuen High School Students We were filled with anxiety before coming to Australia, but we were touched by people’s kindness.

First, College Staff came to pick us up from the airport. Then, we still felt uneasy and apprehensive. In Canterbury College, Mrs Walduck is good at speaking Japanese. She is a very funny teacher. She gave us a lot of smiles that we could enjoy.

Everyone in Canterbury College is very kind and warm.

Students in this school are friendly and full of energy. Thanks to their consideration, we have had good school days.

This school has morning tea time and afternoon tea time. We were surprised. There are not such times in Japan.

We thought it was great to eat lunch with friends under the sky.

Our three weeks in Australia were very fulfilling. Every day in Australia has created happy memories. We have had a precious experience. These experiences are unforgettable. We are filled with gratitude. Thank you for everything.

Junior School Parent We just wanted to email you regarding one of your Junior School Teachers. As always, we have had the most brilliant teacher again this year. All the parents advised me of this and she more than lived up to her reputation. This teacher is passionate, loving, nurturing and supports each child in her class.

My daughter has always needed the vital learning enrichment support, and we are extremely grateful that learning enrichment is able to liaise directly with her teacher as well as work in a team with Speechnet to achieve all the marvellous progress she has made this year. Your continued learning enrichment support is extremely appreciated.

My husband went to Canterbury all those years ago when it first opened and we are honoured to be a part of the College community.

Senior School Parent What an amazing, uplifting celebration Final Roll Call was, and a wonderful way to farewell the Year 12’s. It was a very special and emotional day for everyone and will hold many memories. Thank you for letting the Year 12’s celebrate in style. I do not think I have ever seen that many balloons before. I hope Canterbury continues to keep these wonderful traditions as it is moments like these that make it special and unique. I know as my daughter leaves Canterbury College, she will take with her many happy memories. Being a member of Cantabile has been a wonderful experience for her. As a parent, I thoroughly enjoyed being a part of the Cantabile family and the tours to the UK and the USA. What an amazing time we all had and what a fantastic experience for the girls.

I would also like to thank the Senior School staff, including all the wonderful Year 12 teachers, who have supported and guided the Year 12’s through this very busy and important year.

Junior School Parent We would just like to acknowledge the wonderful teaching and guidance given to our children by the Director of Junior Sport again this year. He is a truly gifted teacher and has such a brilliant rapport with children. My daughter adores him, and my son thinks he is just brilliant. He has brought the world of sport alive at Canterbury and has inspired so many children to get involved and to discover their own capabilities. He makes everything fun, interesting and exciting for the children and he makes them feel good about themselves. So many parents have mentioned how thoughtful he has been with their children. The comments he has said to them have made the children believe in themselves and feel amazing.

We are so very lucky at Canterbury to have a fine teacher like him and we sincerely hope that he is with us for many more years to come. His dedication, passion and hard work seem to know no bounds and our children are benefitting tremendously. We really want to give our thanks to such a wonderful, dedicated and talented teacher.

College Parent Thank you for a lovely evening last night - wonderfully organised, great catering, hospitality and a fabulous venue. Love the doors!

Kindergarten Parent We wanted to email you regarding one of your Kindergarten teachers. We have had the pleasure of having this teacher for our children in Prep 2011 and now again in Kindy.

As always, this teacher is excellent, hardworking, supportive, loving and nurturing to all the children. I am sure you would know all of the parents speak of her brilliant reputation. We trust that she will put our daughter in the best class suited to her and we hope that the teacher she has in 2014 can live up to this teacher’s standards. If she is teaching Prep in 2015 we will definitely be putting in a request to have her again.

College Parent I would like to thank you for the lovely invite you sent to both my husband and myself to attend the Head’s Thanksgiving Cocktail Party. We have both appreciated and enjoyed our years with the College and we will always be happy to help out whenever we can.

Senior School Parent Congratulations and thank you for a fabulous Final Roll Call. The emotion and pride of the students walking down the aisle is a fitting end to their 13-year journey. Canterbury College Final Roll Call is unique and no other school comes close to matching it.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and the many teachers who have taught our daughters over the years, whether it be from an educational, musical or sporting prospective. My husband and I have to be the luckiest parents in the world to have two such beautiful daughters. I cannot count the many times people tell us how proud we must be of them, and while we are and very humbled to hear these comments, we know we did not do this alone. The rapport, respect and the friendships our girls built with teachers, staff and leaders at Canterbury College made our job easy.

My daughter spoke on the way home from the Valedictory Dinner about how much she has learnt about being a strong leader, making decisions and seeing them through. She attributes the College’s standing today to strong leadership and dedication.

It is with sadness I say goodbye after 15 years at Canterbury College. However, I know my daughters will continue to coach volleyball and touch football, and my husband has already been recruited to help coach touch football again next year. As parents we are at a loss as to what to do with ourselves every Saturday morning in the future with no Canterbury sport to attend.

In ending, we can honestly say we would do it all again and have no regrets in educating our girls at Canterbury College.

Again thank you for your strong leadership, friendship and tolerance, and for building Canterbury College to the world-class place of learning it is today.


Community Feedback – Extracts

Junior School Parent My husband and I would like to say thank you for a wonderful year within the Junior School. We have watched our son grow this year and become more confident within himself to be able to deal with conflict and to want to express his thoughts and emotions openly with others.

We rate his teacher very highly. With the dedication, time and effort he puts into each child, we believe he has played a major role in helping our son lift his standards and achieve great results this year.

Next year will be challenging but we know that our son will take his leadership role very seriously, as well as make the most of his final year in the Junior School.

Junior School Parent I would like to congratulate you on the wonderful year both our children have had. Our daughter has had a wonderful two years with her teacher and has come along in leaps and bounds. She has been a wonderful teacher.

Our son’s teacher has also been absolutely fantastic. I would say this has been his best year so far. She has really gotten to know what makes him tick.

Many thanks.

Junior School Parent I just wanted to pass on how pleased I am with my daughter’s teacher. Her approach to teaching and the way she deals with the children on a day-to-day basis should be commended. Our daughter has done so well this year and has just blossomed under this wonderful care and guidance. She has severe food allergies and because of the teacher’s diligence and care I have not had to worry about her safety.

I would also like to take the time to commend the Kindergarten teachers. My son can be a bit reserved and shy but with his teachers’ sense of humour and nurturing he has come out of his shell. He has responded so well and I am so grateful for the time and care they put into their job.

Junior School Parent It is with pleasure that I express my thanks to my son’s teacher for her wonderful efforts. He was fortunate to be

under her guidance and care this year. She has always shown interest in the curriculum and he is very fond of her teaching skills. She is approachable, knowledgeable, realistic, caring, friendly, supportive, observant and a credit to your teaching community.

I would like to commend her astuteness and I have been amazed by how quickly and thoroughly she handles challenging situations. Great things that teachers do often go unrecognised and I hope she receives the appreciation she deserves. Her tireless efforts should be an inspiration to all.

I will always be thankful for the foundations that have been laid for both of our sons from their early years at Canterbury College.

Junior School Parent I would like to congratulate your staff this year on providing my daughters with an absolutely wonderful year of schooling. Our younger daughter has very much enjoyed having her teacher for a second year and has developed a great confidence and attitude to school. This teacher is a credit to the College. As for our older daughter’s teacher, she is, in our opinion, the best. Words fail me to describe how brilliant she has been. She understands our daughter and knows how best to teach her and get the best from her. We could not have asked for more.

Junior School Parent I have had many wonderful times during this year, the Swimming Carnival and K-Year 2 Celebration Evening being two of them. I have realised how much I care for my class and how I have treasured being such an important part of their early learning journey. I have learnt so much and I feel very proud of myself for trying new things and seeking out suggestions and advice from all the expertise around me.

Senior School Parent I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for enabling my daughter to attend Canterbury in her Senior years. She has thoroughly loved her time here, the transition seems to have gone smoothly and it has given her a new lease on school life. We hope that she is able to do Canterbury proud in the future both academically and in sport.


Mission, Vision and Values

Mission The mission of Canterbury College is to serve God by preparing people in an inclusive learning community to deal effectively with the joys and challenges of their individual lives.

Vision Our vision is to inspire people to achieve their personal, social and educational goals by providing the best affordable education in an environment that nurtures and promotes self-awareness and growth based on strong Christian values.

Values As an inclusive community, the College sets out to embrace difference in cultural, religious and personal domains. This is an independent College with an Anglican Ethos, which is built on the traditions of the Church and the teachings of the faith.

The values outlined below are reflected in the teachings of Christ:

• Respect – “Do unto others as you would have them do to you.” Respect yourself and treat all others with respect, courtesy and consideration, regardless of their position.

• Compassion – “Care for others.” Show empathy, by seeking to understand the viewpoints of others and how they are feeling.

• Integrity – “Be honest and trustworthy.” Be sincere and truthful as you do your best. Be accountable for your own actions and ensure consistency between what you say and what you do.

• Social and Environmental Responsibility – “Justice for all.” Promote fairness, acknowledge the rights of others, and make a difference for good. Act to protect the natural environment and support global justice.

• Community – “Celebrate our life together.” Act for the good of the whole College community and seek to promote happiness for yourself and others in all common activities.

• Scholarship – “Live to learn and learn to live.” Cultivate a love of knowledge and be diligent as you aim for excellence.

Strategic Goals The Strategic Plan outlines the strategies, goals, broad and specific priorities for the College.

They include:

• Anglican Ethos, Values and Service: To acknowledge God in all that we do, nurture the Spirit in each member of the College community and promote a safe, caring, inclusive learning community based on Christian values.

• Leadership, Management and Governance: To promote a shared vision of the leaders of the College including a reflective governance framework and a commitment to purpose and direction.

• Learning, Teaching and Curriculum: To foster student growth and development through an outstanding teaching and learning environment that strongly encourages improvement and excellence.

• Learning Environment: To maximise the potential and utilisation of resources and services to achieve excellence in educational outcomes.

• Community: To continue to build a vibrant community which enhances and actively promotes partnerships in the community.


Strategic Goal: Anglican Ethos, Values and Service

Canterbury College’s Anglican Ethos The Anglican Ethos is expressed in many ways and put into practice every day at Canterbury College.

Key examples in 2013: • The Charter of Values and Code of Conduct posters displayed in every room.

• The Spiritual Development course that is constantly being revised and covers all year levels.

• Daily Bible readings and prayers, and special blessings for sporting and cultural events.

• Regular worship, provided through Year Level Chapels, Staff Chapels and Eucharists.

• Our annual Confirmation Service in which students are Baptised, Admitted to Communion or Confirmed.

• The presence of our Southern Region Bishop, The Right Reverend Alison Taylor, at our Board Meeting and our annual Confirmation Service. We welcomed Bishop Alison with great joy.

• Opportunities for reflection on beliefs and values in Chapels and Spiritual Development (SD) lessons.

• The Retreat program for Years 6-12.

• Chaplain’s Chats in the Canterbury College newsletter.

• Our focus on Social and Environmental Responsibility, which is a key value from our Charter.

• Development of community life through many College events such as Ash Wednesday, Easter, End-of-Term, Foundation Day and Valedictory Chapels; ANZAC Day and Spirit Assemblies; the College Fair and the musical Godspell.

• Recognising, respecting and valuing diversity in all its forms.

• Developing relationships within and outside the College through our involvement in service activities, participation in the annual TAS Ecumenical Service and sporting competitions, and the presence of the Mayor of Logan, the local Federal MP, Reverend Geoff

Hoyte from St Mark’s Daisy Hill, and representatives from Anglicare Agencies at various College events.

• Maintaining a close relationship with the Mother Church, through attendance at services at St John’s Cathedral, the ASA Conference in Melbourne, Professional Development days at St Francis’ College and the Byam Roberts Community Days, presenting at ASC network meetings, plus holding our “Voices From Heaven” concert at St John’s Cathedral.

• Involvement in the wider Church through attendance at the DAN Conference in Adelaide, making our SD books available to other Anglican schools and providing ongoing support for their staff, supporting the School of St Jude in Tanzania, being in partnership with the EMBU diocese, establishing projects with a Junior and Middle School focus in Kenyan schools.

• Developing a heart for service to those in need within the College community, in the local area and overseas.

• Supporting Anglican Care Agencies and appeals, such as TRACC Logan, InSYNC in Beenleigh, St Mark’s Christmas Appeal, the Archbishop’s Appeals, and The Anglican Board of Mission (ABM).

• Providing pastoral and spiritual care for the whole community through our Chaplain, Reverend Elroy Mee.

Worship Year Level Chapels were held regularly and were often planned and run by students, with the support of their SD teachers and the Chaplain. As always, our students led worship with confidence and dignity. We continued to split the large cohorts into two groups so they could enjoy worship in the Chapel of the Good Shepherd, and many positive comments from staff and students made it clear that these times of worship were valued by them.

We were also blessed by the availability of the Bush Chapel when the weather permitted. It is a lovely place for quiet worship and encourages students to use their skills rather than depending on technology.


A very special service was held there on the morning of the JTAS Cross Country competition. Members of the Health and Physical Education staff asked if we could prepare the students for the event by providing a time of peace, prayer, and song. Paul’s words in 1 Corinthians 9:24-27 provided encouragement for our students to stay focused and to run for the prize, plus the realisation that there is a bigger, everlasting prize to keep in mind, namely a loving relationship with Jesus. The song we sang was Running After You which was great fun and echoed Paul’s words. The students took it all to heart and ran so fast that they did indeed win First for Canterbury!

The willing involvement of many departments, especially Music, Drama, Dance, IT and Facilities, provided great support for worship at Canterbury College. Our worship was enhanced by the performances of the Chapel Band, Cantabile, the Junior Choir, the Junior Singers, Junior School Dance classes, the Boys’ Vocal Group, individual musicians, members of the cast of Godspell and some beloved pets who behaved impeccably on stage at our Blessing of the Pets Chapel.

Family Chapel Service The Family Chapel focussed on our key value for 2013: Social and Environmental Responsibility. We celebrated the wonders of God’s creation, then faced the damage human beings have done to it over the centuries and the beliefs and attitudes that have allowed us to rationalise our actions.

A clip from the Dr Suess movie The Lorax brought to life the moment in Genesis 3 when Adam and Eve realised they could use creation for their own benefit to be as wise and powerful as God. We then considered how we could contribute to the healing and protection of the world, as God intended.

Our focus then moved to our social responsibility, and Mrs Deanne Hamilton both amused and challenged us with stories from the visit of 11 members of staff to The School of St Jude in Tanzania. The welcome our staff received at St Jude’s and at the homes of the very poor families whose children attended the school was very moving, and the absolute joy of the families when

they saw their children in the school uniform for the first time brought tears to our eyes. It will be a privilege to support the wonderful, life-changing work at this school in an ongoing way.

Service As always, caring for others is our grateful Christian response to the love God has shown to us through Jesus Christ. Our students and their families have continued to support a huge number of worthy causes and charities this year, and have done so with the compassion and generosity we have come to depend on. There are far too many to list here.

As part of the Year 9 Innovations Program, one team of students, with their teachers, worked with Little Paws to rescue and save kittens and cats. They are now proud sponsors of one very large, very old cat, who visited us at our Blessing of the Pets Chapel.

Then in November, as part of our annual Christmas Gift and Food Appeal, we extended ourselves to support the Anglicare Appeal for women and children who are homeless due to family violence, as well as InSYNC in Beenleigh, ABM, St Mark’s Church, and TRACC Logan.


Staff Professional Development During 2013, many staff members attended a range of courses in various areas to gain further knowledge and skills. The information gained is passed back to staff in meetings so other staff members can use the ideas, strategies or resources.

This is important to ensure we have teachers using best practice and the latest research when teaching our students and that all staff members are up-to-date in their areas of expertise. It is encouraging to see the positive results this has produced and affords our teachers opportunities to maintain their very high standards of pedagogy.

A large portion of professional development is undertaken after school or on weekends, rather than through the day, exemplifying the commitment our staff members have to producing excellent outcomes. Literacy and numeracy across the curriculum were focus areas in 2013 with many teachers up skilling in these very important areas.

We work with a facilitator, gain teacher release time to the value of $2000 and meet with other schools to review a Self-Improving Matrix. To be included in such a project is very beneficial especially with the lead up to the Gonski Report recommendations, accreditation requirements and the move towards school evaluation.

• Action Plan for Gifted Education Participating schools in this project will be supported to implement the Action Plan for Gifted Students in Queensland Independent Schools: Strategies and Indicators of Achievement. The Action Plan presents a set of indicators and strategies for five key areas. These provide a checklist for schools to self-assess against what best-practice gifted education looks like in action. Participating schools will also be provided with an implementation grant of $5000.

• Successful Application $5000 From Independent Schools Queensland For Executive Leadership Teams The aim of this grant is to build the capability of the College’s Senior Leadership Team to work together to achieve whole-of-College improvement. Through a combination of learning styles, the program introduces strategies to develop a shared vision and established group protocols, shape team learning and build a coaching culture within the College. The Senior Leadership Team regularly spends time in workshops over the vacation break for collaboration and strategic planning.

• Successful Application For Subsidy of $500,000 from the Queensland Government This is for the construction of two general learning areas to accommodate Year 7 Core Learning. The funds are made available under the Queensland Government’s “Building Our Future Schools” program.

The approval subsidy relates specifically to the project and site as detailed in the College’s application to the Queensland Independent Schools Block Grant Authority. The subsidy specified is the maximum amount approved. The actual amount payable will be determined following confirmation of the final cost of the project.


Strategic Goal: Leadership, Management and Governance

Bridge to Brisbane The Bridge to Brisbane was again a popular event for staff to represent the College and challenge themselves. We had more than 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 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.

Points Scored 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.

Lighthouse School During the year, Canterbury College as an Independent Schools Queensland (ISQ) Lighthouse School held a conference on Wellbeing to showcase our College and Wellbeing program. During this conference, Mr Hillier and Ms Sams presented at the forum of schools showcasing what we do at Canterbury to support staff.

Mr Hillier also had the honour of being the final presenter at the ISQ Safety Conference about the Canterbury College Wellbeing program. This presentation was given to demonstrate the importance of safety in schools.

“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.

Staff Achievements, Activities and Projects

Canterbury Involvement In Quality Assurance Director of Curriculum (Years 7-12) Mrs Ralda Deoki was invited to assist the Quality Assurance Unit of the Queensland Studies Authority (QSA) in November 2013.

Mrs Deoki was part of a three-person team that checked Year 12 data supplied from schools from across Queensland to make sure QSA policies had been applied. The process ensures comparability between schools and was completed over a week, as it is quite a long and detailed task.

This exciting opportunity indicates that the QSA has confidence in the ability of Canterbury College to apply its policies. It also allowed Mrs Deoki to gain a new perspective on the quality assurance process which will help ensure the College is meeting QSA requirements.

Wellbeing Report 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.

Triathlon A dedicated staff team of Ms Kathy Simpson, Mr Ian Lees and Mr Hillier competed in the Mooloolaba Triathlon. Mr Glen Walker also completed as an individual.

Kokoda Challenge 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.


Logan’s Healthiest School Logan City Council Mayor Pam Parker visited the Junior School in Term 2, to present a trophy naming Canterbury College as “Logan’s Healthiest School”.

Fun with Maths in Year 7 The Fun with Maths company uses their presentations to prepare students to use the skills of this important subject in a number of different ways. The program promotes Maths in the curriculum as being fun and useful, as representatives showed Year 7 students at the end of Semester 1. All activities are aimed at strengthening vertical, critical, lateral and creative thinking skills, encouraging students to use both sides of the brain.

Senior School Report

The majority of students undertook the traditional OP pathway, with 99 per cent of those students who made a QTAC application receiving an offer for tertiary study. The academic results achieved by our 2013 students were excellent across a wide range of academic pursuits. Our 2013 graduates undertook the traditional OP pathway, Vocational Education and Training (VET) programs and a combination of OP and VET studies.

Canterbury College in 2013 again offered a range of pathways to its Senior students. With the construction of the Trade Training Centre, the opportunities for Seniors in ITD and Hospitality expanded. The new equipment and facilities provided students access to first-class new workshops and a commercial kitchen. The certificate courses offered in these departments complemented our other certificate courses available

in Business and Fitness, both of which are at Certificate III level. The College has affiliations with several Tertiary Institutions including the Bond University Partnership program, Griffith University’s Partnership School program and University of Southern Queensland (USQ) Springfield Campus Priority Plus School Partnership program.

Middle and Senior School Sport (Years 7-12)

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 once again proudly finished the year with all Trimester sports in The Associated Schools (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 of coaching staff. This integral component of our Sports program continues to provide the avenue for notable skill development, improved game sense and a strong willingness for students to play sport for their school.

Many highlights permeated the sporting landscape at Canterbury in 2013. These include:

• Excellent Participation: Over 80 TAS teams were filled throughout Trimesters 1, 2 and 3.

• Five TAS Blue Premierships: Year 10 Boys’ Basketball, Year 10 Boys’ Rugby, Year 8 Girls’ Tennis, Year 9 Girls’ Tennis and Year 8 Girls’ Hockey.

• Over 80 District School Sport Representations (Pacific District and Independent District).

• Over 30 South Coast School Sport Regional Representations.

• Profound success in the Non-TAS Sport pathway: Cheerleading (State Medals), Equestrian (National Qualification) and Rowing (State Championship attendance).

• Through the school sport pathway, three students competed at the National Championship level.

• Tianah List: Queensland Heptathlon Champion and Bridget O’Brien: National Under 17 Basketball Squad.

Over 80 teams represented Canterbury College throughout 2013 in a mixture of TAS and Non-TAS

sports. 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 The College competed with great merit within TAS Blue Division for Trimesters 1, 2 and 3. Competing at this level once again proved challenging; however, it is becoming clear that a sense of belonging and belief is permeating our teams. Five teams who claimed well-deserved and hard-fought TAS Blue Premierships:

Beyond the premierships, the Canterbury Girls’ Hockey, Girls’ Tennis and Girls’ Touch Football teams increased their respective season win percentages when compared to previous seasons.

The Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics Carnivals provided an opportunity for the combined boys’ and girls’ squads to unite and compete against the 13 TAS schools. The Swimming Team placed a creditable Fifth place in the Red Division (only 50 points behind Second), the Athletics Team placed an outstanding Fourth in the Blue Division whilst the Cross Country Team placed a solid Fifth in the Blue Division Cross Country Carnival.

Interhouse Carnivals (Middle and Senior School) The overarching philosophy of the three Interhouse Carnivals was to maximise involvement of the entire student body, coupled with allowing talented individuals to excel in their chosen area

of excellence. Once again the philosophy of

participation was well on display at all three carnivals.

Congratulations to Ramsey House for claiming the

Victor Ludorum Trophy for the house with most points

following the Interhouse Athletics, Swimming and

Cross Country Carnivals. A special mention to Senior

House Captains Cassidy Millard and Zackary Ryan for

their great leadership and direction of Ramsey House

throughout 2013.

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, with 67 students selected in District teams (compared to 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) for Girls’ Cricket).

Regional Representatives • Jack Humrich (Year 5) – Cross Country, Track and Field

• Devon Bell (Year 4) – Cross Country

• Lachlan Wilson (Year 7) – Cricket

• Kyarna Bousen (Year 5) – Soccer

• Saxon Harris (Year 7) – Swimming.

Within the context of the 2013 District Carnivals, the District Cross Country and Track and Field Carnivals can be viewed as being highly successful. The Junior Cross Country Team blitzed all opposition and Canterbury College was awarded District Cross Country Champion. The Track and Field team placed highly in a very talented district. Students will look to continue this success in 2014.

Australian Combined Schools Music Festival 19-23 June: Nine of our music students participated in this festival in the massed choir and concert band. This event is held every two years in different cities around the country. The festival culminated in a concert on the Sunday afternoon at the Conservatorium Theatre, South Bank. This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet other talented musicians and perform under the direction of some of Australia’s top conductors.

Voices from Heaven 11 October: Cantabile performed in the biennial Voices from Heaven concert in St John’s Cathedral. This was a very special event to celebrate 20 years of Cantabile. The choir performed beautifully and was joined by special guest artists Canterbury College Studio Voice teachers Leanne Kenneally and Leon Warnock, as well as the Middle School Girls’ Chorale. To sing in such a magnificent venue as the cathedral makes this concert a special event for all the performers.

The whole College community enjoyed the talents of all finalists, with Alla Yarosh (Year 8) being awarded Canterbury Idol 2013 for singing the classic Frank Sinatra number New York, New York. Leading up to the Grand Final, Chelsea Currie (Year 12) won the Senior School Final and Alla the Middle School Final.

More than 300 students were featured over four concerts with our choral and instrumental ensembles performing at their best. All four concerts were produced into a 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 Over 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.

Over 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 more seasoned as solo performers.

Music Supporters’ Group

Executive Committee

President Mr David Hitchmough

Vice President: Mrs Kim Chaffey

Secretary: Mr Matthew Bergman

Treasurer: Mr John Glenn

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 Concert, 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.


Extracurricular Dance

Dance Night 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. Dance Night improved its numbers on stage in 2013 with the introduction of the Junior Steppers, showcasing almost 100 dancers on the night. The event is also the final assessment for every Dance student and a chance for parents to see their son or daughter perform on stage. The dances performed on the night were created by students and teachers for assessment purposes, competitions and performances. Students presented a variety of Dance genres they had studied throughout the year, from Musical Theatre and Jazz to Contemporary, Cultural Dance and Hip-Hop.

Annual Excellence Awards Canterbury Dance Company combined with the Year 11 Dance class and the Symphony Orchestra to perform the opening number Magical Mystery Tour, as well as Hide and Seek.

Dance Supporters Group The Dance Supporters Group was established in 2012 to support staff and students in implementing initiatives required to achieve excellence in Dance. This group inspired students to achieve their personal and social goals by providing the best support for their long-term and short-term educational objectives in Dance at Canterbury. The Dance Supporters Group promotes an environment that nurtures and fosters growth and helps to raise awareness of the importance and needs of Dance in the College community. The Dance Supporters Group focussed on the major fundraising initiative “Dance-A-Thon”, as well as smaller functions including drink and food stalls at Dance and Drama performance nights and a raffle at Dance Night 2013. This group raised around $5000 and this was used to purchase performance jackets for the Canterbury Dance Company and mirrors for the Dance room.

Community

New Families Welcome Evening We welcomed many new families into our community with the New Families Welcome Evening in February. It was indeed a pleasure to meet and share experiences with so many new families.

Foundation Day Canterbury College celebrated Foundation Day in 2013 with a wonderful Family Chapel and the annual running of the Cursus Magnus relay. The day was, happily, blessed with sunshine, and 24 runners gave it their all for their House and the chance to win the Cursus Magnus shield. Ramsey House was the winner and all the athletes should be commended for their efforts. As always, there was a strong crowd cheering all the way.

Logan: City of Choice Summit 2013 Two Year 11 students, Darren Sharma and Kristin Magarry, showcased Canterbury College’s active involvement in the local community at the Logan: City of Choice Summit in February.

The event was focused on creating an action plan for positive change in Logan, and was also a forum for these Canterbury students to have their voices heard.

Mother’s Day Celebrations Mums, grandmothers, aunts and carers are treasured members of the Canterbury College community, and we thank them for joining in our Mother’s Day events this year.

There were many happy faces at the Breakfast in the Canteen, the Kindy Afternoon Tea and the Prep Pamper Time. Many children took the chance to buy something special for the occasion at the Mother’s Day stall.

TAS Ecumenical Service The TAS calendar began with the TAS Ecumenical Service. With representatives from all 13 TAS schools, it was a great day of celebration, and students and staff rejoiced in the theme of sportsmanship and school spirit. Thank you to Robert Joseph, Kelsee Green, Mackenzie Barker, Astyn Donald, Isaac James and Vaea Ta’avale for representing the College with distinction.

School Captains’ Dinner Captains of Independent schools across Brisbane met in February at Old Government House on the QUT Gardens Point campus. This annual event was this year organised and hosted by Moreton Bay College. The guest speaker was Her Excellency the Governor General, Quentin Bryce. Canterbury College Captains Eleanor Hilston and Eamon Kearns attended and found the opportunity a valuable experience.

ANZAC Day Community is a core value of Canterbury College, and each year we join with our community in ANZAC Day ceremonies and parades. This year, as well as an Assembly held in the Canterbury Events Centre, College representatives participated in the ANZAC Day Parade at Beenleigh.

International Women’s Day To celebrate 2013 International Women’s Day, six Senior students attended the UN International Women’s Day Breakfast at the Brisbane Convention Centre. The theme of the breakfast was based around the global effort to assist women and girls experiencing violence around the world. College Captain Eleanor Hilston, Vice Captain Rhiannon Nind, Prefect Courtney Ellmers and Year 11 students Jessica Bohan, Kirsten Gierke and Alanna Sawyer attended, along with Year 12 Coordinator Ms Diana Glover and Teacher Librarian Ms Debbie Berger.

World’s Greatest Shave This year, several Canterbury College staff supported the Leukaemia Foundation’s “World’s Greatest Shave” event. They had their hair coloured or shaved to raise money for research into leukaemia, lymphomas, myeloma and related disorders. Funds raised also go towards providing support to patients having treatment for these disorders.

Mr Anthony Hillier organised the College’s event, and was assisted on stage by College Captain Eamon Kearns, Mrs Megan Christie and Mr Alan Lyle at the Canterbury Events Centre after the March Spirit Assembly. Staff who took part included Mrs Karen Cope, Mrs Jo Fraser, Mr Nick Gillin, Mrs Rosie Powell, Mrs Kerri Box, Ms Fiona Brown and Mr Kai Waller.

Strategic Goal: Community


Canterbury Café For the fourth year running, Canterbury Café was operated by the Year 12 Hospitality students from the kitchen of the Canterbury Events Centre. Parents, teachers and students alike continued to embrace the café with open arms and made it a meeting hot spot on Wednesday mornings from 7.30am – 9.30am.

This café has a dual purpose. Not only do the Year 12 Hospitality students acquire the necessary skills to prepare a delicious array of food and beverages each week, but they are also fulfilling elements of the competencies that they must complete to attain their Certificate II in Hospitality. As well as providing an obviously welcome service to the public, all profits are being directed to outfitting the kitchen area which will be used for other events held at the Canterbury Events Centre.

Junior School MasterChef $400 was raised towards the Archbishop’s Flood Appeal. Junior School students showed their culinary prowess on Shrove Tuesday, when almost 200 cakes came to the Junior Library for the annual MasterChef Competition.

Cupcakes: Elleacea McGowan (Prep), Isabella Collison (Year 5) and Claire Sanderson (Year 1).

Cakes: Liam (Year 4) and Erin Bromley (Year 3), Helena Meston (Year 2), Lachlan Foster (Year 5), Mia (Year 2) and Abby Garner (Prep) and Amy and Liam Reynolds (Year 3).

Slices: Maleah Lang-McMahon (Year 4), Caleb Bennett (Prep) and Cole Skrine (Year 1).

Effort: Felicity Campbell (Year 4), Eric Spiteri (Year 3) and Caleb Richardson (Year 6).

Boy/Girl Day Middle School students enjoyed the varied opportunities provided by the Boy/Girl Day program. The purpose of the day was to challenge some of the pre-conceived notions children have about gender. Boys cooked pizza in the kitchen while girls worked in the Technology Department creating products. This was a most successful day with positive feedback from the students.

Grandparents’ Day Hundreds of grandparents came to spend some special time with us on Grandparent’s Day, enjoying a great concert by our talented students, a morning tea and some time in classrooms. There were many positive comments about the morning and how much it was enjoyed.

Under 8’s Day Canterbury students and teachers from Kindergarten to Year 2 enjoyed a wonderful day of fun and entertainment at Under 8’s Day. There were many activities to keep the children entertained, including face painting, playing with animals and making puppets.

Good Shepherd Program During Semester 1, the Year 7 and Year 11 students participated in the Good Shepherd program. The Year 11 Good Shepherds impressed staff and students with their dedication and enthusiasm while providing a support system for their younger buddies and facilitating activities to develop qualities for success, such as building trust, confidence and resilience.

Book Week Parade Book Week is always a time of celebration in the Junior School Resource Centre. The main College event was the annual dress up day and Book Week Parade, and the costumes were creative.

Lunches in the Boardroom Canterbury has the unique weekly tradition of students having lunch with the Head of College in the Boardroom. This is a great opportunity to discuss what students are happy with about the College and what they think could be improved. Here are some of the things our students had to say:

“Everyone is really friendly.” “The teachers seem to care.” “We like the technology on offer.” “The opportunities are great here.”


Tours

Staff Service Tour

In January, a group of Canterbury College staff went on a Staff Service Tour to Africa, including the School of St Jude in Tanzania. The school was founded by an Australian, Gemma Sisia, whom we had the privilege of welcoming to our College in March.

The following is a recount of the service tour, as given at the Family Chapel Service by Mrs Deanne Hamilton, Coor-dinator Mission and Community Development.

“Life in the townships of Tanzania is, for the most part, difficult. I had the privilege of travelling with colleagues to the country in January and for two short weeks we were immersed in the poverty but also the richness of the people, the culture and the environment. We were privi-leged to be a part of the School of St Jude during our trip. The school was founded by an Australian, Gemma Sisia, 10 years ago. She had a dream to provide a safe school environment free of charge to the smartest and also the poorest children in Tanzania, and in doing so educate the future leaders of the country; leaders who will one day make a difference. Ten years on, Gemma’s vision is a reality, with 1400 students, 450 local staff, and a volunteer workforce. As well as this, the school serves over a million meals annually, has a worldwide sponsorship network, and has three campuses including boarding facilities.

On our first day there, our group watched the first intake of the year receive their brand new uniforms. The joy on the faces of the parents and children is difficult to de-scribe. They knew that this was a life-changing moment and that the difference for their children would be for good. The pride that is exhibited in the students’ appear-ance and the joy they show for what is provided for them is overwhelming. These students, their teachers and the community are living and breathing the desire to make a difference. The school employs local teachers, with western teachers acting as mentors. They employ local cleaners, cooks, groundsmen and bus drivers. Produce comes from local markets, and resources and building materials come from local businesses. It is this sustainable approach to the network which will ensure the School of St Jude succeeds long after Gemma Sisia.

The children of the School of St Jude have suffered but the choices made by them, their families, the sponsors, Gemma and anyone who spreads the word of the school creates the joy we saw there. As the Coordinator of Mis-sion and Community, I see my job as making the Values and Mission of the College practical and real for your children. If this experience has taught me nothing else, it has shown me that I am blessed to be in the position I am in. I have a home, a job and a healthy family. I come to work every day and have the opportunity to share and encourage your children to make great choices.”


Mission and Community in Thailand

During the September holidays nine students and two staff along with an Antipodean Leader headed to Thailand. Students were, Cassidy Cloupet, Rebecca Tay-lor, Mitchell Tronc, Natasha Day, Chloe Wilson, Raquel Proudfoot (Year 11), Kieryn Gow, Kellie Thompson and Cassidy Millard (Year 12). They were accompanied by myself and Mr Tim Roberts.

Although it is difficult to describe the intensity of a ser-vice trip, essentially it has three core components: Pro-ject, Trek and Cultural Immersion. All core areas are stu-dent directed and therefore have significant planning, budgeting and organising for the students to negotiate. The project is decided on a needs analysis of the area and must be fully funded by the students. It also must include the use of local goods and services. Most of the labour is provided by the students themselves; however, local tradespeople are also employed, using the money raised. Whilst in the village, all food and transportation are supplied by the locals ensuring that work is being generated for those most in need.

The itinerary for Thailand was negotiated by the group in the months leading up to our departure but, even best laid plans go astray. We arrived at the airport to find out that our first travel leg in-country by train had been cancelled due to track works. The leadership group now had to negotiate the frantic bus stations of Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai and work to a strict budget to ensure we reached our village project on time.

The heat hit us as soon as we landed. There was no relief from the humidity which became increasingly uncomfortable with backpacks and trekking bags our constant companions. The students negotiated with locals extremely well and with the little Thai they could remember, had us on Tuk-Tuks as often as possible.

The group was glad to get into the higher altitude of Chiang Rai and especially excited to reach our Akha Hilltribe. This was our home for the next week. The village had a number of families with concrete floors, electricity and separate wash houses (little more than a hole in the ground, buckets of water and an iron sheet

door) and these became our homestays. On the other side of the hill, families lived in palm throng and wood sheeting huts, some precariously perched on the side of steep embankments.

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 villag-ers 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.

After days of shifting dirt and moving mud, we headed out of the hills and had a wonderful elephant ride to the foot of the mountains. After a solid hour walk - all of it upward, and in intense heat - we reached our next homestay where we learnt how to make bamboo bowls, cups and chopsticks with machetes (some of us better than others!) and how to cook omelets and rice using bamboo.

When reflecting on the two weeks, it is hard to go past the smiling faces and excitement of the village children during afternoon playtime as the best experience of all.
