Principal Ross Dummett says there is a strong sense of community and belonging from both the staff and the students and it is from that strength that high expectations are set in the classroom.
“I make no apologies for having high expectations for every student in the classroom,” he said.
“Put simply, if you are not a serious learner, then Canterbury Boys High School is not the school for you.”
Mr Dummett says prospective students and parents for 2023 and 2024, are invited to attend the school’s Open Day on Saturday, March 19, 10am-1.30pm.
“This is a great opportunity for new parents to come and explore your local high school demonstrate excellence in boys’ education in all aspects of school, academic and sporting life,” he said.
“You can participate in lessons, meet our dedicated teachers, and learn more about our school, including our Enrichment program, innovative STEM program and the diverse range of extracurricular activities including, Chess, Debating, School Band, Public Speaking and much more.
“We look forward to meeting you and answering your questions about high school.”
