The Arts Bulletin
Arts Day
Arts Day was a vibrant celebration of creativity and connection, centred on the theme Be Fearless – Unleash Your Emotions. Students began with House choir rehearsals and delivered passionate performances in the House Choral Competition, judged by guest performer Natasha Vesenlinovic. Engaging workshops followed, allowing students to explore different art forms in a collaborative and energetic environment.
After a House picnic lunch and final rehearsals, the day concluded with the dynamic House Dance Competition and a lively staff performance, with professional dancer Ella Giammichele joining us as guest judge and performer. The day truly embodied the courage, expression, and spirit of the Arts at Clayfield College.

Choral Workshop and Performance with Brisbane Boys’ College
Congratulations to our vocalists on a wonderful, combined concert with Brisbane Boys’ College last night. Audiences enjoyed performances by Clayfield College’s Canzona and Ciao Bella Choirs, the Ragazzi boys choir, and BBC’s Colleagians and Camerata ensembles. A standout moment was the moving rendition of two beautiful movements from Fauré’s Requiem.
