The event will be held on 30 November within the school grounds, commencing at 8.30 am and finishing at 9.15 am. • All students have received a Sponsorship Form to help collect sponsorship on behalf of the school. • We ask all parents to read the Sponsorship Form and sign the front page to grant permission for their child to fundraise and participate in this event. • Once fundraising is complete please help your child fill out Step 5 – How to Claim Prizes, on the back page of the Sponsorship Form. Then tear it off and return it with all money raised to YOUR FORM/CLASS TEACHER on or before Friday 23 November. • Do not send money directly to the accounts department or the admin offices. Students must have their name ticked off by their class teacher to be eligible for a prize. Please make all cheques payable to Canterbury College.

By Mr Tony Nutt The final week for Year 12 provides an emotional time for students, families and staff. We wish each of the Year 12’s well for their upcoming holiday, Senior Schooling Exit Statements and entry into further studies and/or the work force. Tuesday saw the students enjoy a day of recreation at Wet ‘n’ Wild with their Form Teachers, Dr Peddell and Mr Coleman. Wednesday’s awards evening was their last and was a special event for all prize recipients. The Valedictory Dinner, Valedictory Chapel and Final Roll call were each special celebrations as we farewell our Seniors of 2012. A special thank you to all the Curriculum Coordinators of Year 12 subjects, their teaching teams, Dr Katie Peddell as Year Level Coordinator, and the Form Teachers. Such an event as completing Year 12 is significant in a person’s lifetime and usually involves a few challenges along the way. We express our thanks to the families of Year 12 and especially the parents for entrusting their children to our school and staff for many years of education. Mrs Anderson has appointed the student leaders for 2013. The College Captains are Eleanor Hilston and Eamon Kearns. The College Vice-Captains are Rhiannon Nind and Daniel Taifalos. The Prefects are Courtney Ellmers, Caitlyn Fields, Emma Kerr, Amelia Norton, Marina Pennisi, Kekoolani Visan, Ebony Williams, Riley Forbes, Rob Joseph, Blake Lockett, Josh Noney and Ivan Zhang. We congratulate these fine students and wish them well in their leadership roles for 2013. Years 10 and 11 students commence exams in the near future and should be in academic focus mode in class and at home. Year 10’s will sit exams in large groups under Year 11/12 styled conditions so as to prepare them for 2013. It is important that each student in Years 10 and 11 undertake the QCS practice exams in the exam block, so as to have the opportunity to receive feedback early in Term 1, 2013 from which they can enhance their skills in preparation for the Core Skills exams themselves. In these final days of Semester 2, we encourage students to maintain their focus through to their last lesson. With assessment continuing until the last days, students are expected to attend until the last day, Friday 30 November. Students are asked to commence returning text books under the direction of class room teachers when appropriate in the last days of term. FROM THE CAREERS COUNSELLOR YEAR 12 – END OF YEAR INFORMATION Most students in Year 12 have either put in a QTAC application or have an idea of their pathway for next year. If any student would still like to discuss their options, please feel free to see me. I recommend that students who are uncertain of their study plan, or students who are applying outside Queensland, should put in a QTAC application as a backup. This application can be accepted and deferred if the student is looking at a gap year or other study. Remember to constantly take note of the QTAC website and to check your email for any changes to courses. There have been many changes to courses being offered next year, including additional and withdrawn courses. Keep your QTAC guide handy. Page 2 has all the key dates for QTAC tertiary study applications and page 15 discusses financial help and useful websites. Year 12 students who find they need further assistance with their plans for 2013 university courses are able to attend information sessions that universities offer. Please check the website of your preferred university to attend any information sessions that may be advertised.
