Head of Faculty - Creative Industries

Canterbury College is an Anglican ELC-12 coeducational independent school of approximately 1,700 students located in Waterford, Queensland, serving the Logan, northern Gold Coast and southern Brisbane corridor. Founded in 1987, the College operates under a "World Ready" strategic brand, holds Microsoft Showcase and Lighthouse School status, and is a member of the Round Square international network of schools. Canterbury is a proud member of the Anglican Schools Commission, and a founding member of The Associated Schools, Brisbane's premier coeducational sporting association for independent schools. 

Canterbury is a community of ambition, educating students for a complex and interconnected world within a framework of Anglican values and a genuine commitment to character formation. The World Ready commitment rests on the conviction that an education which produces academic results alone is an incomplete one. The breadth of the College's academic and co-curricular programme is built on that premise, Staff are appointed on the understanding that they will contribute to the whole of a student's formation. 

Ultimately however, Canterbury is an academic school with high percentages of ATAR eligible students and performance amongst the top coeducational schools in the state.
