Failing to cancel lessons in a timely manner will incur a cancellation fee equivalent to 2 weeks of lessons. To avoid this, please ensure you send a withdrawal notification via email to music@clayfield.qld.edu.au by the end of Term 1.

Arts Day

Houses are already buzzing with excitement as they choose their songs and dances for next term’s Arts Day, built around the inspiring theme Be strong, strive for the stars.

This year’s Arts Day for Years 6 to 12 will take place on Wednesday, 17 June, the final Wednesday of Term 2. The lead‑up promises vibrant rehearsals, creativity and plenty of House spirit.

On the day, students will dive into a variety of workshops and performances, and each House will take the stage to present their chosen song and dance as they compete for the coveted Arts Day Cup.

It’s shaping up to be an unforgettable celebration of talent, teamwork and imagination!
