Circular Drive Pick-Up Process

During the Circular Drive pick-up process, the safety of our students and staff is critical and therefore we kindly ask you to review the following.

At the conclusion of the day, staff will bring students down to Circular Drive from 3:05pm (Prep - Year 2) and 3:15pm (Years 3 - 6). Pre-Prep students can be collected from their classroom between 2:30pm and 3:00pm. Students in Years 5 - 6 may be collected at Circular Drive if they have younger siblings. Otherwise, they may be collected from Bayview Terrace. Students in Year 4 may be collected from Bayview Terrace if they have an older sibling. If you are collecting your child in Years 3 - 6, please do not come to Circular Drive before 3:15pm as they will not be there, and you will be asked to circle the block to keep the line moving.

To assist us with the efficiency of Circular Drive pickup in the afternoon, we respectfully request the following:

• Follow the direction of staff.
• Continue to drive forward to the furthest available park.
• Remain in your car until your child has been sent to you.  Do not leave your car at any time whilst you are in the Circular Car line. There have been instances where cars have rolled whilst children are walking to their cars.
• If you are using this service, students must be independent in buckling their seat belts, without your assistance. The staff on duty will help any child into the car if needed. If you are eager for your child to use this facility, the buckling of the seat belt is a wonderful teaching moment.
• If your child has not yet arrived for collection, you must turn left out of Circular Drive and drive around the block to re-enter the Circular Drive queue.

Homework Club/ Children's First Clayfield - Outside Hours Care

If you would like your child to attend OSHC after Homework Club, please ensure you book them in to Children’s First OSHC. If you are running late for pick up, we are unable to take students to OSHC without a booking. We therefore appreciate if you could collect your son/daughter by 5:00pm to allow our staff to leave promptly. 

Thank you for your understanding and working in partnership with the College.

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 Big Chop, or sponsoring others, you'll be helping researchers develop kids' cancer treatments, give kids their childhoods 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!
