Term 1 Sports 2022

All Term 1 sports will recommence training in Week 1 to ensure we are ready for the season. A full training schedule will be released on the College App early in the new year.

Sports Camp in 2022

The date for the Summer Sports Camp is Monday 17 January to Wednesday 19 January, the week before school commences. All students who have signed up for any Semester 1 in-season sports would have received an invitation to attend the camp. If your daughter has not received an email and would like to participate in any of the QG Sports listed in the Sport specific sessions of the program, please get in touch with Ms. Christine Barnes at cbarnes1@clayfiedl.qld.edu.au

The P&F is very supportive of this new initiative and have generously subsidised $50 per student to attend this camp to reduce costs for families. The cost for the camp will now be $210 per student, all-inclusive except for lunch on the final day at the Water Park, Oxenford.

Please see the full camp itinerary below. The camp will focus on skill and game development, body maintenance principles and team cohesion and connection. We hope these camps are well received as they are a key element in strengthening the success, unity, and team sprint Clayfield teams are renowned for. Full details have been released via email and the College App.

Volleyball Academy

The Clayfield Volleyball Academy will run again in 2022. Please get in touch with Ms. Barnes at cbarnes1@clayfield.qld.edu.au to collect an enrolment form.
