On the Green - Less that 3 Weeks to go!
On the Green is back bigger than ever, headlined by iconic Australian artist Ben Lee.
Join us on Sunday 2 August 2026 for an afternoon of live music, food and festivities for the whole family.
Get ready to catch the good vibes as iconic Australian singer-songwriter Ben Lee, his alter-ego DJ Dad Bod and an entertaining line up of local talent, including the Clayfield Big Band, Chloe Javane, the Brisbane City Big Band and Chloe Noon (Class of 2024) take the stage.
Soak up the live music and fuel the fun with a selection of food and beverages from on-site vendors throughout the afternoon.
Beyond what promises to be a fantastic community celebration, On the Green also creates an extraordinary learning opportunity for our students. Through the generous support of our Clayfield College Foundation and their Opportunities of Excellence Program, students will participate in an exclusive open rehearsal and Q&A with Ben Lee, before experiencing the thrill of performing alongside one of Australia's most celebrated musicians. It is an experience that reflects our commitment to providing exceptional opportunities beyond the classroom.
