About the P&F Association
The role of the Parents & Friends Association (P&F) at Clayfield College is to share in the school’s vision by enabling the community to be involved with events and activities that support the College. The P&F offers support through organising social functions such as the Welcome Drinks Evening, Christmas Carols, and other events throughout the year. It also supports various school activities such as Story Dogs, Speech Night Prizes, Lux awards and Opus as well as sponsorship/bursaries; the list is endless.
The P&F welcomes and encourages members of the community to volunteer their time and efforts to be part of the P&F and its support groups. There are four support groups under the umbrella of the P&F Association, these are the Friends of Sports, Primary School, Music and Boarder Parents'. The P&F have regular and relaxed meetings and these are usually every 2nd month on a Tuesday night during term time only, starting at 6:30pm.
The contribution of individuals does not need to be major - every little bit counts in the broad range of activities that the P&F are involved in - and we have lots of fun along the way!
Warm regards,
Rae Morris
President
P&F Association
Raising Awareness for Movember!
This November, nine eager Clayfield staff members are joining the Movember movement by growing moustaches and moving to raise awareness for men’s health!
We lose 60 men to suicide globally, every hour and since 2003 Movember has supported over 1,250 men’s health initiatives worldwide, challenging the status quo, revolutionising research, and transforming how health services engage with and support men.
Here is the second progress shot! Mrs Bryan, Mrs Wake and Mrs Beauchamp are also doing the Movement Challenge where they are moving 60kms for the month.
Get behind our Clayfield Movember team by making a donation at the link below.
Stayed tuned for next week's progress shot!

Reminder from the College IT team
As part of the ongoing security enhancements at the College, student use of VPNs from the College Wi-Fi and onsite network will be restricted from Term 4. We previously advised that students should discontinue the use of VPN’s while on campus throughout Term 3 ready for this change. To clarify, VPNs are usually used to access overseas streaming services and to bypass local streaming limitations. Continued use of a VPN from Term 4 onwards will stop access to College systems whilst at the school, including access to Internet resources and the Microsoft 365 suite (Office applications, OneDrive, OneNote and Teams).
We will also be updating the Microsoft 365 cloud solution with enhanced security settings to restrict access from overseas locations. If families are intending to travel overseas at any point and the student requires access to the College Microsoft 365 solution whilst away, parents should contact theIT team ahead of any planned travel to ensure we set access for the travel period.
