Reader's Cup Challenge

This year Clayfield College participated in the 'Brisbane North' Reader's Cup Challenge. The team of five students, read five books between them, thinking carefully about the details of each book. Out of 50 teams who participated in the competition, we placed 16th. The students scored well in each round, demonstrating a comprehensive knowledge of each text. There were very few points separating the top 20. Quizmaster and author Peter Carnavas educated students on the 'art of writing' throughout the day. 

Congratulations to the team comprising: 

• Alegria Heinemann
• Sari Weyer
• Ishani Ranjan
• Sophie Morizet-Morales
• Clare Burke

Lower LRC Lunch Fun

The lower LRC is a hive of fun and activity at lunch time. The Library Monitors read to the younger students; the Lego turns into all sorts of wonderful and fantastical creations; our Preppies engineer paper aeroplanes; the students enjoy quiet colouring in and drawing. But perhaps most importantly, students read books!

Gibson House Free Dress Fundraiser

Supporting Drought Angels

On Thursday 13 June, Gibson House invites you to dress like a farmer to support the Drought Angels. 

As a convenience to our families, we would like you to donate to our charities collectively. We have therefore set up this payment link for you, giving you one less thing to remember to bring into school for Dress Up Days.

Please click on the link below and navigate to College Tours, Excursions and Activities, then House Fundraisers 2024. There is a $2 contribution per fundraiser ($12 in total).
