Canterbury College is a national finalist in five categories of the 2021 Australian Education Awards.
Canterbury has been nominated for secondary school of the year in the private sector, while Marsden State High School is again a finalist in the government category.
Individual nominations have gone to Bill Garland (primary school principal of the year – non-government), and Nick Gillin (secondary school teacher of the year – non-government), while the school is also a finalist for best co-curricular program (Canterbury Centre for Entrepreneurship and Leadership) and best school strategic plan.
Canterbury Principal Mr Dan Walker said he was extremely proud when the list of category finalists was released last week.
“This major recognition, across all areas of the College’s programs, is only possible due to the ongoing efforts of all of Canterbury’s teaching and corporate services staff,” Mr Walker said.
“Congratulations in particular to Nick Gillin and Bill Garland for their individual recognition, with Nick’s passion for Science and Maths teaching evident to us every day, and Bill’s outstanding leadership of one of Australia’s fastest growing junior schools.”
