Secondary Sport - QGSSSA

I wish to focus my gratitude on our students, who have shown great pride in representing Clayfield College throughout 2022. They have done this while adapting to a challenging Academic program and balancing a range of Co-curricular pursuits.

We aim to provide students with as many Co-curricular opportunities as possible. In doing so, I remind students of the College values and our expectations of those who represent us at QGSSSA, Andrews Cup, Britton Shield or elsewhere. I ask all students to ensure high standards are upheld. Students will not be able to participate and compete if they do not represent us appropriately. 

Students in Years 6 to 11 are invited to register for the proceeding sports and activities, so we can plan and commence pre-season training.
