Pyjama Day: Ashburn House Fundraiser

Ashburn House invites all students to wear their pyjamas to school on Friday 19 July to support the Pyjama Foundation empowering foster kids. 

Payments for House Fundraising days can be made in one online payment via the College Website.

If students have HPE on Friday, please bring sports uniform to change into. Many of our boys will be involved in Britton Shield Football this Friday and so will be unable to participate. For this reason, we will be providing a second opportunity for our Primary School boys to wear their pyjamas on Friday 26 July (Week 3). 

Chess Club

Chess Club is growing! We will be moving our Secondary Chess club to Monday afternoons this term. Starting Week 3, Monday 22 July, all Secondary School students are welcome to attend in the upper LRC from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. We will have a professional coach from Gardiner Chess attending to teach our students. If you would like your child to be involved in this opportunity, please email jperkins@clayfield.qld.edu.au 

Duke of Edinburgh

A four-day and three-night Adventurous Journey will be held from 14 to17 September which students can use for the below qualifications:

• Bronze practice and qualifying 
• Silver practice
• Gold practice

Any student who is 14 years or older can begin the Duke of Edinburgh program. If you are interested in your child participating in this opportunity, or would like more information on the Award, please email jperkins@clayfield.qld.edu.au 

Christian Mission and Service Assistance Program

Current Year 11 and 12 students are now eligible to apply for a limited number of assistance packages to undertake involvement in the recognised Christian Mission and Service Assistance Program.

The program, run by the PMSA, aims to foster Christian faith and values in our school and provides an opportunity for our students to serve God and grow in their Christian faith through engagement in a Christian Mission and Service initiative domestically or abroad. Up to two assistance packages with a maximum value of $1250 per student are available. Our School Chaplain Rev Yarrow will give guidance as to whether the desired initiative is a suitable program.

Applications will close on Monday 16 September 2024.

For more information about the program please contact Rev Yarrow or visit the PMSA website under Scholarships.

The Big Chop

On Friday 4 October, Meghan Guthrie-Quinn and Tia Tyler (Year 11 students) will be running the Clayfield Big Chop! The Kids Cancer Project’s Lose Your Locks Campaign encourages people to sponsor others to cut their hair. 

By taking part in the Big Chop, or sponsoring others, you'll help researchers develop kids' cancer treatments, give kids their childhood’s back or allow their confidence to be restored with a life changing wig.

The minimum donation of hair is 20cm. If your child is interested in having their hair cut by our on-site hairdresser, please fill out the survey form attached.  

If you would rather keep your locks, we would love for you, your family and friends to donate to our campaign page. All funds go towards the Kids' Cancer Project. Thank you for your support!
