QGSSSA Winter Sport Sign-On | NOW OPEN

The QGSSSA Winter sport programmes, include Hockey, Netball, Tennis and Volleyball. 

Students can participate in one Winter season sport. Girls selected in QGSSSA representative teams are expected to attend all fixtures and weekly training sessions to develop their skills, fitness and team cohesion to best represent Clayfield College. Winter season fixtures are played weekly on Saturday mornings throughout Term 3 between 8:00am-12:00pm (approximately). 

 

A central pillar to the success of QGSSSA Winter sport programmes will be attendance at training so students can optimise the opportunity to combine skills training with technical development for their chosen sport. This will ensure students and teams are prepared and ready to play.

2023 Show Horse Council of Australasia Grand National

Bella Dotta and her trusty steed, National Velvet, successfully secured their spot in the highly anticipated Grand Nationals after their impressive performance in both the Open Hunter Galloway and the Child Hunter Galloway competitions. The dynamic duo made their way to the Sydney International Equestrian Centre during the Easter holidays to showcase their skills. Although luck was not on their side, as they narrowly missed out on a top 5 position, Bella expressed her gratitude for the unforgettable experience and expressed her determination to qualify for the event once again in 2024. 

 

The competition featured a host of skilled riders from New Zealand, and was evaluated by renowned judges hailing from the United Kingdom, further adding to the prestige of the event.
