Sustainable School Shop
The College has been looking at ways to efficiently buy and sell second-hand textbooks, uniforms, and other student resources.
We are delighted to announce that the College has teamed up with Sustainable School Shop, allowing parents/caregivers to easily trade these second-hand items. Previously the College Shop would accept some second-hand items, this will now cease, and all items are requested to go via Sustainable School Shop.
Results from other schools have been excellent - families have enjoyed a very comprehensive and convenient method of buying and selling second-hand items.
The new service is very accessible; it preferences our school first and then provides access to buy and sell items with families attending other schools broadening the reach for trading goods. Many schools use this service. Access to second-hand textbooks, uniforms and other resources is available all year. For the best results:
- Register on the Sustainable School Shop website and nominate Clayfield College
- A subscription to the service will be provided to you
- List your items for sale
- List wanted ads for those items you are looking to buy
- The school’s uniform and book lists are loaded into the system to make listing ads easy
- The system matches the ads of buyers with sellers and notifies the buyer via email
- Buyers contact sellers and arrange where and when to trade
- Most trading will occur with other parents from our school
- Parents are well supported via Sustainable School Shop’s telephone (0438 743 444) and email helplines
- The system is simple and easy to use - If you don’t have a computer, internet access or an email address, please call the Sustainable School Shop for assistance
- You can pre-arrange the transaction and then trade after the texts are no longer required by the current student.
Clayfield College is providing this service, so there is no cost for families. Each family that registers on the Sustainable School Shop will be given a subscription.
We are very excited about this new initiative, and we hope you will make the most of this opportunity and gain the benefit from recycling your children’s school items while at the same time helping other families within our College community.

Bring Your Own Device (BYOD)
From Mr. Richard Hardy - Director of Information Learning Technology
Clayfield College has sourced bulk buying support from JB HiFi for parents seeking to update their child's current device. JB Hi-Fi BYOD Online provides families with access to a wide range of education-specific laptops, tablets, accessories, and insurance, at an affordable price.
Please note: Products differ from those available in retail stores, as they are education-specific and selected for their compatibility with our school's ICT infrastructure and curriculum. Purchasing a device can only be done online via the BYOD portal created for Clayfield College (access details are provided in the advertisement).
The devices and prices listed in the BYOD portal are not available in store.
Enrolments
To assist us with our planning and resourcing for 2022, we would be grateful if you could advise us as soon as possible if you do not intend for your child to continue at the College next year.
If you wish to withdraw your son or daughter from the College, or change their enrolment status, please refer to our Enrolment Procedures and Business Regulations. Please provide notice in writing to our Deputy Principal – Head of Primary, Mrs. Audrey Fellowes via afellowes@clayfield.qld.edu.au, as well as the Enrolments Team via enrol@clayfield.qld.edu.au.
A reminder that at least a term’s notice is required as per our Enrolment Procedures and Business Regulations.
Please note that no action is required if your child is continuing next year.
The partnerships between the College and families are integral in creating a positive school experience for your son or daughter. We encourage you to please reach out to our staff at any time to answer any questions you may have.
College App
The College app can be downloaded from the Apple or Google Play stores - search for “Clayfield College”. The app is very important to download as this is our instant communication method to all parents/caregivers and students.
In the event of wet or extreme weather, any cancellations of co-curricular activities, sports training or matches, upcoming events will be communicated through the College app. Please check this regularly if poor weather looks imminent.
