QGSSSA Autumn Fixtures
The curtain has fallen on the 2025 QGSSSA Autumn Fixtures season and what a finale it was. Our Basketball, Football and Touch Football teams went head-to-head with Brisbane Girls Grammar School in the Reconciliation Round, marking a powerful end to the season amidst driving rain, and fierce sporting spirit.
As our Football and Touch Football teams took to the sodden fields of Fig Tree Pocket, and our Basketball teams laced up at Brisbane Grammar School, there was a shared sense of purpose.
In honour of National Reconciliation Week and this year’s theme, Bridging Now to Next, both venues paused to reflect and recognise the journey toward a more unified future. Players stood side-by-side for Reconciliation Ceremonies that echoed the values of respect, truth-telling, and connection.
Then, it was game on.
From the first whistle to final siren, our teams left everything on the field and court. The conditions were tough, but our purpose didn’t waver. Waterlogged pitches and slippery surfaces couldn’t dull the determination of our Football and Touch football teams. Indoors, our Basketballers matched the intensity, delivering a polished display of teamwork, hustle, and heart.
A special mention goes to our Senior B Basketball team and Senior A Football team, who both closed their seasons on a high recording hard-fought victories against every team they faced.
Over the course of the term, the 2025 Autumn Fixtures campaign has been a masterclass in perseverance. Student-athletes showed up, stood tall, and wore the Clayfield College crest with pride. They endured the highs and lows that define sport, with narrow losses, big wins, early mornings, and late finishes and have emerged better for it.
To our coaches, thank you for shaping more than just how to play the game. Your leadership has built belief, resilience, and strong, connected teams.
To our parents and supporters, your voices from the sidelines have echoed louder than the scoreboard. Thank you!
To every girl who competed this term: thank you. For your fight. For your pride. For reminding us that Clayfield College Sport is about more than just results.
This season ends with the ladders locked in, but the impact. That plays on.
Onward.

Fresh off their success at the QGSSSA Artistic Gymnastics Championships, a group of Clayfield College gymnasts once again showcased their extraordinary talent at the 2025 WAG Gymnastics Queensland State Championships. Competing against the best in the state, Clayfield College gymnasts demonstrated precision, power, and poise across all apparatus, achieving outstanding individual results.
Christina Anictomatis delivered a commanding performance, earning 2nd place All-around – Developing International (16+). Her consistency across events saw her take gold on Beam, and bronze on Vault, Uneven Bars, and Floor. It was remarkable medal haul for Christina, that highlights her strength as an all-rounder.

Isla Cullen showcased her trademark style and power, finishing 2nd All-around – Level 8 (U14). She shone brightest on Floor with a beautifully executed routine that earned her the gold and also added a bronze medal on Beam to her tally.
Evie Sheppard competed with confidence and finesse, placing 3rd All-around – Level 7 (Open). Her highlight came on the Uneven Bars, where her polished routine was rewarded with a well-deserved gold medal.
Koko Woolnough narrowly missed the All-around podium in 4th place – Level 7 (U14) but made her mark with a stunning Floor routine that earned gold, and a strong Vault to take silver. Her flair and athleticism were clear standouts.
Tanya Wu (Level 10 – U18) showed great determination and composure, competing through a training injury to deliver a focused Beam routine, finishing 8th overall in a highly competitive field.
We are incredibly proud of our gymnasts and their achievements. Their results are a testament to the hours of hard work, dedication, and passion they bring to their sport. Congratulations ladies!
