Important Reminder - Sport Event Sign-On Process

To support the safety, supervision and accurate record-keeping of students participating in Clayfield College sporting programs and events, families are reminded of the importance of completing the required event sign-on process through Parent Lounge.

This process applies across Senior School and Junior School Sport and ensures the Sports Department has accurate attendance records and access to the information required to support students while participating in College sport.

Event Sign-On and Attendance

When your child is participating in a sporting program or event, please ensure you:

Complete and accept the relevant event sign-on via Parent Lounge by the advertised closing date.
Notify the appropriate Sport Coordinator or Head of Sport and Activities by email as soon as possible if there are any changes to your child's attendance or transport arrangements.
Ensure students are signed out with the nominated supervising staff member before leaving an event with a parent or caregiver.

Students should not leave a venue without first being signed out, as this is essential to maintaining accurate attendance and supervision records.

Thank you to our families for your cooperation and continued support in helping us provide a safe, organised and positive sporting experience for all Clayfield College students.

Touch Football - Lainey Madders Earns Queensland Honours

Year 7 student Lainey Madders has returned from an outstanding campaign at the Queensland Schools State Touch Football Championships in Bundaberg, where she captained the Met North team to its best-ever result, finishing 5th overall.

Lainey enjoyed an impressive individual tournament, earning Player of the Match honours in five games before being named Met North MVP.

Capping off a memorable championship, Lainey was selected in the Queensland Schools State Touch Football Team and will now progress to the national stage at the School Sport Australia National Touch Football Championships, held in Newcastle, NSW from 25–30 October 2026.

Congratulations, Lainey, on an outstanding representative campaign and a well-deserved opportunity to wear the Queensland colours at Nationals.

Senior Boys Touch Football

The Senior Boys Touch Football teams launched their Winter season campaign at Arana Touch this week, with plenty of energy across the opening round.
