From the Principal

Our Year 12 students are now well into their external assessment block, having completed two weeks of examinations today. The mood among our Year 12 students is positive, and I am regularly delighted to hear students saying, “I’m actually looking forward to this exam; I feel really ready for it”. The academic culture that is unique to Clayfield College – where every student works to achieve their personal best. 

The Secondary School Speech Night will be held on Tuesday 16 November at the QPAC Concert Hall. This is when all prizewinners in Years 7 to 12 will be presented with their awards. This event will be recorded and made available via live stream to the Clayfield College families who cannot make it to the Speech Night.
