Lighthouse Update

Countdown to Lighthouse Launch - 2 weeks to go!

We’re looking forward to introducing Lighthouse to our Clayfield community in Term 4, Week 4. Bringing learning and communication together in one platform, Lighthouse will help keep families connected and make it easier to stay up to date with life at the College.

What do I need to know?

Lighthouse will be available to all parents from Thursday 29 October (Week 4, Term 4). To help make the transition as smooth as possible, the rollout has been carefully planned across the term, with resources and support available to help families get comfortable with the new platform.

This support will include: 

• The Collective Newsletter: A regular Lighthouse section will provide key milestones, tips and relevant information. 

   

• In-person Lighthouse Parent Support Sessions: These are scheduled in Weeks 5 and 6: 
  • Tuesday 3 November | Clayfield College Museum | 1:45pm to 2:15pm 
  • Friday 6 November | Clayfield College Museum | 7:45am to 8:15am 
  • Tuesday 10 November | Clayfield College Museum | 1:30pm to 2:00pm 

  • Friday 13 November | Clayfield College Museum | 7:45am to 8:15am 

     

• Parent Guide: A Lighthouse support page will provide Parent Guides and videos to help families get started. 

   

• Support Email: A dedicated support email address: lighthouse@clayfield.qld.edu.au has been established so that your enquiries can be followed up by the most appropriate team, including Academic, ICT and Communications. 

   

In addition, staff have also taken part in Lighthouse training and support sessions, with Communication Guidelines created to assist consistent information across the College.

As with any new platform, there will be questions and opportunities to make improvements along the way. Introducing Lighthouse in Term 4 gives us the opportunity to learn from the experiences of parents, staff and students, with their feedback continuing to shape the platform as we move into 2027.

Parent Pilot Program 

This week a number of parents, representing families from Pre-Prep to Year 11 are participating in a Parent Pilot, helping us test and refine elements of the platform before Lighthouse is introduced to our wider Clayfield community.

We are grateful to the families who are helping us with this important stage and thank them for their time and feedback on the current parent experience. 

This week’s feature: Your Parent Dashboard

Each week throughout the remainder of Term 4, we’ll highlight a feature of Lighthouse to help families become familiar with the platform and confidently navigate all it has to offer.
