Throughout history, people have been captivated and interested by stories, and engaging with the processes of telling, listening and remembering the past.
The aim of the Alumni Voices project is to record a selection of some of the remarkable histories of the ex students who attended Canterbury Girls’ High School across the generations.
The history of Canterbury Girls’ High includes a history of the waves of migrants who have settled in Australia and strived for success in a new country, and also made Australia the rich melting pot of cultures that it is today.
Canterbury Girls’ High today remains a school of rich cultural diversity with students coming from nearly 50 language groups, from Aboriginal students to new arrivals from Africa and Asia.
