Year 9 Business Venture

On Friday 13 May, Year 9 students involved in the Business and Entrepreneurship and Food Technology business venture received $20 each to fund their seed business. Students have been working hard on numerous activities, including writing marketing plans, creating Instagram accounts, testing recipes, and are getting ready to launch their advertising campaigns, finishing with Shark Tank pitches to the Senior Leadership Team this coming Friday! Pre-order forms will be available from Student Services this week, so make sure you take advantage of special prices available for a limited time only. 

Year 12 Business Excursion 

Our Year 12 Business class travelled to Event Cinemas Chermside to gather primary data for their IA3 assessment task. Students heard presentations from the General Manager and Area Manager about the history of the business, the impact of COVID-19 on the cinema industry and their plans for the future in relation to competition and repositioning. A tour of the back of house operations and a 4DX experience completed what was a wonderful excursion for our students. 

Lunch in the Forum – Building History!

On Thursday 12 May, students had the opportunity to engage in a ‘Building History’ activity as part of the English and Humanities Department’s Lunch in the Forum series. These events provide opportunities for interested students to experience and explore English and Humanities subjects outside of the classroom. Thursday’s activity allowed students to engage with people and places they have studied or will study in Social Science subjects in a creative, fun way. Students were provided with Lego, play-doh and plasticine in order to build their own historical replicas. Students recreated Stonehenge, the Pyramids of Giza and even the faces of Churchill and Stalin with impressive creativity!

Maths and Pi Day

On Thursday 5 May, we celebrated all things Mathematics. A combined Pi Day and Maths Day for students in Years 7 to 12 ensured all students could say they had some fun with maths that day. Dr. Cousins, Ms. Mohan and Ms. Monnickendam kindly offered their faces for the pie-throwing competition. There was much laughter and much mess! Students also enjoyed a meat pie after reciting as many places of the mathematical constant pi (π) as they could.

COVID-19 FAQ - Close Contacts

What do I do if I am a close contact and do not have symptoms of COVID-19?

You should monitor for symptoms for 7 days from the last time someone in your household tested positive for COVID-19.

If you remain symptom-free, you can leave your home for any reason.

While you are a close contact you must:

• wear a face mask at all times when outside the home
• not visit vulnerable settings, such as hospitals, aged care and disability facilities, unless in exceptional or compassionate circumstances (for example, end of life visits)

It is also recommended that you:

• test for COVID-19 if you develop symptoms
• avoid large gatherings or crowded indoor events
• work or study from home if you can.

If a close contact is leaving home, it is recommended that they undertake regular testing (such as on day 0, 2, 4, 6).

If you have had COVID-19 in the previous 12 weeks, you are not required to do the close contact testing, unless advised to do so by your medical practitioner.

Can I go to work or school while I am a close contact?

If you have COVID-19 symptoms, stay at home until the symptoms resolve and do not attend work or school.

If you do not have any symptoms and are unable to work or study from home, notify your employer or educational setting before you return. You will have to comply with any additional requirements set by your workplace or educational setting.

Clayfield College Requirements for Close Contacts
