Clayfield College App

The College values the relationships it builds with families and the College community. Communication to parents/caregivers is made via a number of different channels and one of these channels for instant communication is the College app.

 

In the next 24 hours, the College app will be updated. If you already have the app, this will happen automatically on your device. If you do not yet have the app I encourage all parents/caregivers and students to download it from the Apple or GooglePlay stores - just search for Clayfield College.

 

The app is very important to download as this is our instant communication method. In the event of wet or extreme weather, any cancellations of sports training, games, co-curricular and College activities will be communicated through the College app. 

 

The updated version of the app now allows parents/caregivers to advise us of student absentees via the "Absentee" tile. You all need to do is click the tile and complete the form and click the "Submit" button. Please see the attached flyer that outlines the app installation and set-up procedures. If you have any questions in regards to the app, please contact our Marketing & Communications Department at marketing@clayfield.qld.edu.au 

Andrews Cup Athletics Championships

On Tuesday, our Primary School girls competed in the Andrews Cup Athletics championships at QSAC. I congratulate the girls on their outstanding performance; they were awarded 3rd place in the Percentage Cup. I would also like to thank all of the coaches. Without your assistance and support, the girls would not be able to achieve these excellent results.

QGSSSA Athletics Championships

Thursday, 16 September, our Secondary School athletics team will be competing in the QGSSSA Athletics Championships at the Queensland State Athletics Centre. I am incredibly proud of the dedication and commitment that all of the students have made to their training and I wish the girls and the coaches the best of luck.
