Vape Detectors and Cameras
Clayfield College is committed to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of our students. Over the summer break we have installed 25 vape sensors across the school. In addition, we have installed 74 security cameras. When the vape sensors are triggered the corresponding security cameras will automatically record movements in that area. An alert will be sent to the Student Wellbeing Team so that they are able to access the footage and liaise with the relevant students to conduct discussions.
Signing In and Out
If a student needs to attend an appointment or leave the school for any other reason parents need to notify Student Services. All students are required to sign out (Secondary and Primary). Parents are to park in Circular Drive and sign out the student in person.
Parents/Carers should contact/communicate the absence to the College via:
- Contacting Student Services on 3262 0262
- Emailing studentservices@clayfield.qld.edu.au
- The Clayfield College App on the Absentee tab.
Thank you for your assistance in ensuring students are safely collected from school.

As advised in the Welcome Back Communication, Primary School class and individual photographs and Pre-Prep - Year 12 House Photos will take place on Monday 29 January. All students are to wear their full formal school summer uniform on this day. If students have HPE, please bring your PE gear to change into after the photos.

Ordering: On Thursday 25 January, every student in Pre-Prep to Year 12 will bring home a Studio Kirby Flyer which contains the student’s unique ID Number which will be required for ordering. Attached to the flyer will be a yellow slip for sibling photos which you are asked to bring with you. You may still attend for sibling photos if you do not have this slip with you.
