Clayfield College is one of Queensland’s leading schools providing a tradition of quality education. Founded in 1931 Clayfield College celebrated its 75th Anniversary in 2006. The College caters for girls from PrePrep to Year 12 and boys from PrePrep to Year 5. The College also caters for boarding students from Year 5. The College has a strong academic emphasis where students are encouraged to set and achieve personal goals within the academic arena. Small class sizes ensure more attention can be given to each individual child’s needs. This approach has successfully ensured high academic results over many years for Clayfield College students. The Christian beliefs of the community support the personal development and fulfilment of each student’s life both during their time at school and upon completion of Year 12. Kodaly music teaching methods are employed from Pre-Prep to Year 12 and the De Bono Thinking Skills are heavily featured across the entire curriculum. Emphasis is placed on the care and nurturing of the individual. All teachers take an active interest in the well-being and general development of each student.
Easy access to rail and bus, close to the city centre and airports, before- and after-school care on the premises for Junior School, Year 8 academic scholarships. More than 90% of students receive tertiary offers on a regular basis.
