Harmony Day
Congratulations to every student who performed in our Harmony Day celebratory Assembly. This yearly occasion beautifully displays diverse artistic expressions, encompassing music, dance, and language. We take pride in highlighting the talents within our community, and it is particularly gratifying to see students who typically don’t perform stepping into the spotlight.
Student Achievements
Congratulations to Ema Costello (Year 10) who was awarded a High Distinction (A+) in her recent Grade 6 AMEB Saxophone Repertoire Exam. Ema is a valued member of our Band Program and is often featured as a soloist in the College Big Band. Great work Ema!

Private Instrumental and Vocal Tuition
This year we have updated the billing method for Music Tuition at Clayfield College. Fees for music tuition covering Term 1 and Term 2 will now be consolidated and appear on each student's account in the Term 2 invoice. Students will be billed based on the number of lessons they were allocated in Term 1, plus a set amount for eight lessons in Term 2.
Should parents decide to withdraw their child from Private Tuition, it's imperative that the Music Department is informed. Failing to cancel lessons in a timely manner will incur a cancellation fee equivalent to two weeks of lessons. To avoid this, please ensure you send a withdrawal notification email to music@clayfield.qld.edu.au by the end of Term 1.
For a detailed understanding of our Terms and Conditions, we encourage you to review the information provided on the lesson application below.
