Spirit of Clayfield Awards
Overview
The Spirit of Clayfield Awards recognise members of our College family - staff, students, Old Collegians and community members, for embodying our College values and inspiring others to let their light shine. Each year, these awards are presented at our Foundation Day Assembly.
This week, we are celebrating and recognising our Spirit of Clayfield Award Winners in the Staff and Student categories.
This award honours both an academic staff member and a corporate staff member who demonstrates enthusiasm, exceptional effort and commitment. It acknowledges qualities of performance that Clayfield College is proud to embrace and the way that these qualities let the light shine in those around them. At the end of last year, staff were invited to forward their nominations. Following a consultative process, we are pleased to share the successful recipients of the Spirit of Clayfield Awards (Staff Category) for 2024:
Academic Staff Category
Mrs Angela Lockyer, Head of Creative Arts and Languages
Mrs Lockyer is broadly admired by her staff, peers, students, parents and the wider community. She goes above and beyond for students and staff at Clayfield College, works tirelessly and her work ethic is to be admired. She is a wealth of knowledge in her subject area and is always developing her skills, through confirmation, endorsement and external marking. Mrs Lockyer recognises the strengths in her staff and leads a team with warmth and positive energy. She is a supportive mentor to her staff, particularly teachers at the early stages of their career. Mrs Lockyer is happy to be involved in College events and the calibre of the productions she is involved in and coordinates are truly spectacular. She is honest, committed and wears Clayfield on her sleeve and in her heart. Always cheerful, respectful of others, warm and welcome, Mrs Lockyer embraces the Clayfield Spirit.
Corporate Staff Category
Mrs Sarah Wyer, Administrator ‑ Primary Services and PP‑12 Pastoral
Mrs Wyer is respectful, professional, helpful and always there to support staff when needed; no task or request is ever too big or too small. She is incredibly hard-working and graciously goes out of her way to ensure that planning and organisation are effectively managed and staff have the resources they need. Mrs Wyer steps in to support or make suggestions whenever necessary and is the heartbeat of the Primary School who knows the College like the back of her hand. She is an asset to the College community and her quiet dedication and commitment is deeply appreciated in the Primary School.
This award honours both a Primary student and Secondary student who exhibits the College values of Care, Integrity, Resilience and Respect and contributes positively to the school and wider community.
