Crazy Sock and Hair Day
On Friday 4 October Youngman House will be hosting a Crazy Sock and Hair Day, where all students from Pre-Prep to Year 12 are invited to wear their craziest socks and hairdos! Youngman House will be raising money and awareness for The Kid’s Cancer Project. All money raised supports vital scientific research to develop better treatments for all children with cancer.
Several students will also be participating in The Big Chop, donating their hair to make wigs for cancer patients. All fundraising days can be paid online, and children do not need to bring a gold coin. If you have not yet made your donation, please do so via the Pay Online section of the College Website.

Reminder From the College IT Team
As part of the ongoing security enhancements at the College, student use of VPNs from the College Wi-Fi and onsite network will be restricted from Term 4. We previously advised that students should discontinue the use of VPN’s while on campus throughout Term 3 ready for this change. To clarify, VPNs are usually used to access overseas streaming services and to bypass local streaming limitations. Continued use of a VPN from Term 4 onwards will stop access to College systems whilst at the school, including access to Internet resources and the Microsoft 365 suite (Office applications, OneDrive, OneNote and Teams).
We will also be updating the Microsoft 365 cloud solution with enhanced security settings to restrict access from overseas locations. If families are intending to travel overseas at any point and the student requires access to the College Microsoft 365 solution whilst away, parents should contact theIT team ahead of any planned travel to ensure we set access for the travel period.
Carparking Reminder
We have recently received feedback about parking issues around Gregory Street and Bayview Terrace. To maintain good relationships with our neighbours and local businesses, please remember to park only in designated areas, ensure you are not blocking driveways, follow all signs and respect time limits.
Your cooperation helps us stay a positive part of the community. Continued violations might lead to formal actions, so let’s work together to prevent any further issues.

Parents/caregivers are reminded to review our Enrolment Procedures & Business Regulations on a regular basis.
We would like to provide families with a friendly reminder that a full term’s written notice, addressed to the principal, is required when withdrawing a student from the College to avoid fees being charged in lieu of notice.
Where a student is leaving at the end of the school year, notice must be received by the first day of Term 4.
Notice is to be provided via email to principal@clayfield.qld.edu.au and enrol@clayfield.qld.edu.au.
