2 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CANTERBURY COLLEGE 3 I offer thanks to all who have helped Canterbury College achieve great success.
I thank all parents who invest wisely in their child’s quality and affordable education at Canterbury College. I trust that you will continue your child’s education here when next year’s Budget is finalised and published. Whilst we always attempt to keep fee increases minimal, our operating costs and particularly wages have increased at more than 2.5 times the increase in tuition fees over recent years and therefore there will be a small fee increase next year necessary to cover the recently negotiated Enterprise Bargaining Agreement with our staff wherein their wages will increase at the rate of 2.5% per annum for each of the next three years, as well as all other costs which continue to rise with or above inflation.
I sincerely thank all students for striving to achieve their personal best which has been reflected throughout the year in their Canterbury experiences.
I thank all of our dedicated, experienced staff and all volunteers who contribute greatly to the quality affordable education offered here at Canterbury College.
Thank you to our Head of College Mrs Donna Anderson and her Senior Leadership Team. For more than a decade so much has been achieved under Mrs Anderson’s Headship and there are now more challenges and exciting opportunities for both the College and Mrs Anderson into the future.
Lastly, I sincerely thank my fellow Directors Jonathan Waterworth, Bob Lang, Professor Joy Cumming and Rhonda Dore’ for their voluntary and honorary service and commitment to our College. Their extensive corporate governance experience with Canterbury College, together with the longevity of our Head of College, has been a source of great strength for College achievements and does stand us in good stead for attracting outstanding candidates to be the fifth Head of Canterbury College.
Finally, to all of those who are leaving the College at the end of the year, whether you be students or staff, I trust that you have enjoyed your Canterbury experience and formed lifelong friendships.

48 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CANTERBURY COLLEGE 49 Zephyrs Band The Zephyrs Band has made significant improvements since its beginnings. Zephyrs is Canterbury’s entry level wind ensemble, featuring all beginner brass, woodwind and percussion students. The ensemble is comprised of enthusiastic students who have just started learning their instrument. This Band was formed to give beginner and scholarship students a chance to play in an ensemble, learn ensemble etiquette, and make friends. The ensemble’s director Miss Kondo encourages all students of all levels to join the Zephyrs Band, as making music with a large group of excited students is one of the best things about playing an instrument. The band has resumed in Term 3 of 2018 with the new director and is making significant progress in addition to growing in numbers. With customised arrangements of familiar tunes, every member contributes to the ensemble each week. Zephyrs’ main goal is for students to learn the fundamentals of ensemble work such as keeping time, following the conductor’s cue and listening to other instrumentalists’ parts.

50 ANNUAL REPORT 2018 CANTERBURY COLLEGE 51 Supporters’ Groups
The Music and Dance Supporters’ Groups provide parents with an outstanding way to demonstrate their support to the Arts Academy through active involvement in their children’s Arts experiences.
The Supporters’ Groups achieved much in 2018 through: supporting the numerous concerts with refreshments; organising and managing the majority of all non-musical logistics of the Academy Events, such as Winter Arts Festival, Spring Festival and Studio Recitals; contributing significant funds for the purchase of new equipment including a new set of Drumline instruments, toots, costumes and bursaries.
The year’s success would not have been possible without the Supporters’ Groups and our dedicated coaching staff and team managers. As the Arts at Canterbury continues to move forward each year in leaps and bounds, it is safe to say we will be putting a strong, pointed, foot forward in the future.
The Supporters’ Groups continue to be integral to the Arts program at Canterbury College and their passion and commitment to the program is greatly appreciated.
