Acting Principal
On Monday, I had the privilege of attending the G20 International
Dialogue on Women in Leadership with four of our senior student
leaders. With the release of the G20 Brisbane Summit Leaders’
Communique and aspirations to bring 100 million additional
women into the workforce, we were privy to much discussion
and debate on how this target will be achieved. In an effort to
act together to lift growth and create jobs, the G20 Leaders
agreed to this goal of reducing the gap in participation rates
between men and women by 25 percent by 2025. The end goal
is to significantly increase global growth and reduce poverty and
inequality. The Honourable Leneen Forde AC stressed that we
cannot talk about economic implications for the world without
addressing gender equality. Our girls were asked to respond to a
variety of questions and when the microphone was put before them, in a room full of some of the
world’s most influential women, their responses were articulate, considered and intelligent. Our
future is in good hands.
Congratulations to two of our Clayfield music students who have been recognised and honoured
by the Australian Girls’ Choir:
• Jacquie B has been awarded the leadership role of Soprano 2 leader for the Brisbane Chapter
of the Australian Girls’ Choir for 2015.
• Charlotte B has been named the 2015 June Bronhill Scholar for Queensland. This award is
bestowed on one girl from each state, who in their opinion, has the most vocal prowess that
she could have a career in the performing arts should she choose to do so.
Mrs Price and her Sports Department hosted a very successful Sportswomen’s Dinner recently. The
event was well attended by parents and students. Guest speaker, Clare Polkinghorne, Matildas
co-captain and captain of the Brisbane Roar in the Australian W-League delivered an inspirational
address to our students. She outlined her recipe for success which included hard work and
intelligent decision-making to enable her dreams to come to reality. It was a wonderful celebration
of sport at Clayfield College.
Finally, congratulations to Georgia T who has been named as a finalist in the 2014 Search for the
Next Tech Girl Superhero sponsored by the University of Queensland. Winners will be announced
early in December and we wish Georgia well as we await the final results.

Chaplain
You will surely wear yourself out, both you and these people with
you. For the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone.
(Exodus 18:18)
This is the warning that Moses’ father-in-law Jethro gives to
Moses. Maybe the older man has experienced more of life and
has learnt from his mistakes. Perhaps Jethro’s daughter has been
confiding in her dad and sharing her concern that Moses is
working too hard and has no time or energy left for his family.
However it transpired, we know that Jethro had the wisdom
to recognise that Moses was overdoing it and was taking on a
workload that was unsustainable. He was an elder statesman
who was respected and in a position to counsel Moses and history shows that Moses listened
and shared his workload.
If we have a responsible job or have family members relying on us we may carry an expectation
which makes us think we are indispensible. We may feel that if we don’t do the job then no-one
will.
As God spoke to Moses through the wise words of Jethro, God also speaks to us reminding us
that we are not meant to go it alone when the task gets too heavy.

Acting Head of Senior Schooling
As we prepare to farewell our Year 12 students this week I thought
it would be timely to highlight the skills of a “self-reliant graduate”
and how these skills are fostered and nurtured at Clayfield College.
I have personally met with each and every Year 12 student in this
past semester and I am confident that each of them is well and
truly ready to embark on their chosen journey with gusto and
determination. They have all had the opportunity throughout
their schooling here at Clayfield College to identify their own
skills, values, interests, strengths and differentiating factors.
Through subject area experiences and wider school involvement
these young women have explored and created opportunities
to innovate, investigate, research, identify and support others in
need. Action planning and organising schedules has become
the norm for our young scholars, who have become skilled at incorporating goal setting and the
necessary contingency plans when things do not go quite to plan.
Women Industry Network breakfasts, guest speakers and other forums and experiences have
allowed for the development and nurturing of a network of people for advice and information.
The struggle of assessment demands and other commitments has developed the ability to
understand and acknowledge personal priorities and constraints both within and outside of
one’s control. Our young women have also been afforded opportunities to make informed
decisions and work as part of a team to negotiate and appreciate the power of reaching “win/
win” agreements.
Inspirational speeches by Ms Skerman on Assembly has shed light on current global issues
and allowed for students to begin to understand the complex tensions and power struggles
within and between global organisations. This creates a growing awareness of the location of
power and influence and the need for young people to adapt goals in the light of changing
circumstances and take myriads of tiny risks in order to reach their dreams.
Through a rich and engaging program here at the College we hope that a life-long love of
learning has been fostered and that the engaging lessons designed by teachers have provided
opportunities for students to reflect on their learning and how it relates to the real world. The
overarching building of self-confidence in our young women has promoted the need for a
personal sense of self-worth, not dependent on performance.

All in all, your daughters are provided and encouraged on a daily basis to engage with their
learning and develop and nurture the skills and dispositions necessary to be a ‘self-reliant
graduate’ in the 21st Century.
Farewell Year 12 2014 and on behalf of the Clayfield College Senior Schooling Community we
take this opportunity to wish you well and hold you in our prayers, for a life full of good health
and happiness.

China Study Tour 2015: After such a successful trip to China earlier this term, we are again
considering the possibility of having a group of Year 6 and 7 students participate in a study
tour to China in October 2015. Provided there is sufficient interest, we would again like to make
this study tour a reality. Expression of interest letters were emailed home to all Year 5 and 6
students last week. Please return the forms at your earliest convenience so that the appropriate
arrangements can start to be made. More information on this year’s tour can be found on www.

On Thursday 4 December, we have our final Assembly of the year - the Junior Schooling

G20 Experience
Two Clayfield College students had the opportunity of a
lifetime last weekend when they saw President Obama speak
at the University of Queensland. The three-hour wait, half of it
queueing outside the UQ Centre, was forgotten the moment
the charismatic US President stepped into the crowded hall.
President Obama did not need to woo the crowd, but started
anyway with some winning banter about Bris Vegas, “giving it a
burl” and the natural warmth of the Australian people. Apparently
without notes or prompts, the President spoke for about 40
minutes about his administration’s role as a Pacific power.
While Obama talked about the importance of global financial
security, strengthening alliances and modernising defence strategies, our Community Service
Captains elect, Eloise Hay and Grace Shaw, were particularly impressed by his statement that a
nation could be measured by the way in which it values the rights and talents of its women. He
also stressed the need to act according to core values, to protect human rights and to champion
the individual. His climate change policy statements earned cheers from the young audience.
Two former Clayfield College students of note were also part of the invited audience. Kate Row
who recently spoke at the Women’s Industry Network Breakfast, and Ellen Stay, who has spent the
last year working at a consulate in Sydney before beginning a Master’s Degree in International
Relations, were also thrilled to see the President.
Service Trip to India
In less than two weeks, thirteen students and two members of staff head to southern India to
work in Amar Seva Sangam, a school for disabled children. Last year, the College donated $6000
to the Sangam which was used to build a verandah on their dining hall. Given that the Sangam
is providing accommodation and meals during our stay, we would like to make a substantial
donation again this year. If you can donate even a small amount we would be grateful for your
support: students are paying all their own expenses. Please go to “Pay online” on the website.
Senior Jerseys
Year 11 students should have tried on and ordered Senior Jerseys for 2015 at the College Shop last
week. Payment is online through the website (Pay Online / make a payment / College excursions
etc / Select an event / Snr jerseys), and must be made by 21 November to secure the $100 price
and arrival in February 2015. Later payments will attract an additional fee and arrive later in the
year. Names on jerseys must be surname or usual first name (not nickname), and jerseys can be
worn with the sports uniform.
Senior Formal 2015
Year 11s are currently making plans for their Formal 21 February 2015 with the help of student
coordinator Emily Green and staff liaison Mrs Samantha Knott. The Formal will be held at Moda
Events, Portside.
Second Hand Books
Books may be handed into the College Shop anytime up to 2pm Friday 28 November. Please
ensure you have finished all assessment prior to handing books in. Forms must be completed
accurately and in full prior to handing in. Please have books in a plastic bag and allow enough
time for the checking of books against forms. Forms are available on both Parent Lounge and
the College website under the P & F.

Drama Department
Year 9 Drama students have been entertaining our Junior Schooling students with new works
of Children’s Theatre written as whole class collaborative projects. Work on the plays began late
in Term 3, where each class chose age-appropriate morals to underpin the stories, and to help
to form original characters.
9A presented ‘The Farmer Wants a Life’, a story that promotes healthy eating where a group of
characters try to resist the charms of sweet treats. Class 9B performed ‘Lost in the Museum’, a
story about the importance of friendship, which followed the journey of a group of children who
go in search of a friend who is lost amongst strange exhibits at the museum. 9C’s show, titled
‘Spland’, was an adventure involving a boy conquering his fears as he travels to a mysterious new
land, full of superheroes.
The process of developing these plays was challenging because of the balance needed when
creating a work that is meaningful and entertaining. Added to this challenge was the creativity
needed to make a performance that is original and surprising. All of our Drama students have
enjoyed exploring the style of Theatre for Young People, learning along the way that working
in Drama is immensely satisfying, particularly when your audience is having a great time!

Auditions
As 2014 begins to draw to a close for our Middle and Senior ensembles and choirs, auditions
for placement in instrumental groups for 2015 will begin to take place. Auditions for all Concert
Bands (woodwind, brass and percussion) and strings will take place from Tuesday 25 November
and Thursday 27 November for Years 6-9 and all Senior Schooling students on Monday and
Tuesday 1-2 December. Sign on sheets are now in the Chalet for strings and Music Annex for
Bands. Please ensure you sign on as soon as possible. Please remember that auditions are not
meant to be stressful for students. They are an opportunity for the staff to hear how the students
are travelling in their instrumental studies and ensure they are placed in the appropriate group
for their ability. There is a group for everyone at Clayfield College!
2015 Music Tour
We are very excited to announce that planning for the 2015 Music Tour to Venice, Milan, Geneva
and Paris is well underway!

#1 in road safety education
Road Safety Education Limited is the preeminent
provider of road safety education for youth in
Australasia. The flagship RYDA Program is delivered
to approximately 50,000 17-18 year old high school
students, at 80 venues across Australia and New
Zealand, every year.
Getting behind the wheel of a car as a young driver is
said to be the most dangerous thing that a person will
do in their entire life.
By participating in RYDA your school furthers their
committment to educating the ‘whole student’, providing
an opportunity to learn essential life skills. Students are
encouraged to take greater responsibility for themselves
and their friends before they face the challenges of
driving solo or as passenger of a new driver.
RYDA is a one day Program, conducted at an out
of school venue, chosen to highlight the road safety
messages.
Now is the time to equip young people with the tools
and knowledge they need to stay safe on the road.
RYDA’s learning is for life!
