2023 College Sport

The last twelve weeks have included many highlights, some learning opportunities, and some incredible achievements by Clayfield College students participating and performing in a wide range of cocurricular sporting activities.

Optimising the quality of our cocurricular and educational offerings for our students, enhancing culture, and consistently reflecting and improving what we do is what drives and motivates me each day.

To this end, I thank students, parents and caregivers, coaches, and staff for their continued commitment and support of Clayfield Sport.

It is now time to turn your attention to and complete registrations for 2023 sport programs.
