PMSA Youth Leaders Forum

Our Year 11 students will participate in the PMSA Youth Leaders Forum in early May. 

The purpose of the forum is to provide a platform of learning around excellence in leadership for all Year 11 students who attend a PMSA School. It is a wonderful opportunity to inspire our emerging leaders to lead for impact and create meaningful change to shape the future of tomorrow. You can find out more about this year's forum here.

Anzac Day

Prep to Year 12 students will be commemorating ANZAC Day with a student/staff Assembly on Tuesday 23 April. Clayfield College Secondary students are encouraged to attend the service at Kalinga Park on 25 April, which has seen the Clayfield community and surrounding suburbs partake for over 100 years. It would be lovely to see as many Clayfield College students attend and join in as we proudly march as a school.

Careers Hub

More careers newsletters have been added to our Careers and Pathways page with the latest information about post-high school options, tertiary study and work opportunities. These are a great resource for families to talk about career options.

The Futures Expo (Years 9 to 12)

We have a key event coming up in Term 2 for our Secondary students to attend. The Futures Expo will be held on Monday 10 June, from 3.15pm in the Assembly Hall. It’s a trade-fair style event to give Clayfield families an opportunity to meet representatives from universities, TAFE, private tertiary institutions, and the Defence Forces. Mark it in your calendar and we look forward to seeing you there!

For Year 12 Families

QTAC will be distributing the printed QTAC guides for applying to tertiary study in June. When these are received at Clayfield, we will be handing these to your daughters. We are hoping these will be received before the end of Term 2. If they arrive after the end of term, they will be distributed beginning of Term 3. The good news is the PDF version will be available online on QTAC’s website over the holidays.
