Duke of Edinburgh Sailing Adventurous Journey

This week, ten students embarked on their Adventurous Journey for Gold, Silver and Bronze Awards for the Duke of Edinburgh Program. Departing from Victoria Point, students sailed from the mainland to various islands in the Moreton Bay area, including Peel and Moreton Island. They navigated their way across the bay, learnt how to sail, and cooked their own meals. We are so fortunate to have these experiential learning opportunities at Clayfield, which can support the wholistic development of our students.

Student Entrepreneur Opportunities

The Student Entrepreneur Weekend is a fun, dynamic event taking place during the last week of Term 2. Funded by the PMSA, participation is free and will give students the chance to collaborate with students from other PMSA schools, hear from industry experts, and put their problem-solving skills to the test.

Participants will team up to devise innovative solutions to real-world business problems. At the end of the weekend, they'll pitch their ideas to the industry partner who will judge which proposed action plan is the most effective. The winning team will get to explore their ideas further in collaboration with the participating organisation.
