Important Uniform Reminders

Transition to Summer Uniform 

The Summer Uniform is compulsory from next week, being Week 9. 

 

Based on feedback, we are pleased to share that a Secondary School Summer peplum blouse (or over-blouse) for girls is being developed by the Uniform Company. This option is expected to be available for purchase from January 2024. Students will be able to choose to wear either the peplum (over-blouse) or the original blouse (tucked-in).

 

Uniform Focus

In Weeks 9 and 10 this term we will be focusing on earrings and ribbons. Students in Pastoral Care classes who are wearing the correct earrings and a bottle green ribbon, bow or scrunchie will be awarded a Merit point.

 

The earrings that are allowed are small gold/silver sleepers or studs, or small pearls. 

 

Ribbons, bows or scrunchies should be worn by  female students who have their hair tied in a ponytail.

Tour Schedule 2024

We are excited to announce our Tour Schedule for 2024. These tours provide an opportunity for students to experience learning outside of the classroom in a range of disciplines and developmental areas that align with our strategic pillar, Learning From Experiences. 

 

If you are interested in one or more of these tours, please follow the link on the flyer below and submit your expression of interest (EOI). More information about these tours will be shared with you as the year progresses.

 

Please note that some tours are run by Clayfield, and some are run by external providers. All tours require students to meet a selection criteria that includes behaviour, attendance and academic commitment. Some tours will have their own specific criteria that will be shared once EOIs have been gathered.

 

For any questions about these tours, or the application process, please email Mr Justin Desmarchelier via jdesmarchelier@clayfield.qld.edu.au.
