Go Red for Redkite!
When a child is diagnosed with cancer, it affects the whole family. And family is everything. No matter how you define it, no one can put a value on the love a family shares and the strength you can find within it.
Every day in Australia, 3 families will hear the words ‘your child has cancer’ and in the daunting and unpredictable time that follows a diagnosis a child needs as much stability and support from their family as possible. But when families are under pressure, it can be hard to hold it together and this is where Redkite steps in.
Whilst children receive world class medical care, childhood cancer needs more than medicine and last year Redkite marked 40 years of providing emotional, financial, practical and social wellbeing support to families providing them with a lifeline and helping them find the strength they need during one of the hardest times of their lives.
Go Red for Redkite is a brand-new National Fundraising campaign launched by Redkite this year! When you choose from Australia's favourite brands such as Coles, Bickford’s and Cold Rock this October, you're choosing to stand with families facing childhood cancer. Help bring hope and support to families, with every item you add to your cart.
For a list of full participating brands and ways to get involved, visit Go Red for Redkite this October! | Redkite

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.
Please also refer to the Brisbane City Council's notice below, which confirms that their Parking Compliance Team use mobile enforcement technology in school zones during peak drop-off and pick-up times, in addition to on-foot parking officers.

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.

Enrolment Procedures & Business Regulations Friendly Reminder
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.
