Canva Tutorial for Beginners
Recently, we hosted a professional development session for school administrators with a practical focus: learning how to use Canva templates to design custom graphics for both the website and print.
During the session, we walked through a simple, real-world project:
One design, many uses.
With Canva, staff don’t need to start from scratch or be graphic design experts. Templates provide structure, while customisation keeps the content personal.
Ongoing Support
To keep building on the momentum, we’ve published two video guides on using Canva on our website. These guides walk through the basics and provide step-by-step instructions for creating school-branded materials.
Custom graphics aren’t just about making things look good. They’re about telling your school’s story in a way that feels real, relatable and professional. A well-designed flyer or gallery image showcases not only events and announcements, but also the pride and personality of the school community.
With tools like Canva, every school has the power to create visuals that connect — no design degree required.
Join us for a live demo of the session at our PD in Term 4

During the session, we walked through a simple, real-world project:
- Starting with a ready-made template
- Uploading a school logo and school photos
- Creating a flyer tailored to the school’s own community
- Resizing that flyer into an article image and a homepage gallery image
