Thank you to the parents/caregivers who completed the Strategic Planning survey which was included in the Clayfield Collective last week. This feedback forms such an important part of developing the strategic plan and I encourage all parents/caregivers to complete the survey. The survey remains open and can be found at the following link – https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2QQLP5B
Feedback is also the cornerstone of good teaching and learning. Effective feedback from an assessment and learning perspective provides a vital link. The research demonstrates that feedback is one of the most powerful ways of enhancing student learning. It has been argued within the education literature by researchers such as John Hattie, Helen Timperley and Dylan Williams that feedback can almost double the average student growth over a school year. It has been suggested by some that effective feedback can increase learning by, on average, an additional eight months in a year. This year, the Primary School are beginning to use the platforms; TEAMS and DoJo as an online portfolio which provides families and students with ongoing feedback and information about specific learning tasks.
There are many models which can assist to guide the delivery of effective feedback. From my perspective however, feedback can broadly be divided into three categories they are:
Corrective Feedback - Focuses on specific errors, inaccuracies or omissions - Delivered in a variety of forms including annotation on scripts, corrected work samples or verbal correction during class
Developmental Feedback - Identifies progress with transferable skills and understandings - Actionable by the student in the near future - Asks: where am I going? how am I going? where to next?
Reflection - Can take place at any stage during learning - Actionable in the near future - Composed by the student
Beyond these three categories, a key aspect of feedback is ensuring that we have a ‘just in time’ rather than a ‘just in case’ approach. In other words that we ensure that the feedback is timely. Feedback needs to be provided in a way whilst there is an opportunity for the learner to act, monitor and adjust their own learning. There has over several years been a great deal of criticism levelled at the end of semester report card and the place that it plays in providing feedback for learning. This question about the role of the end-of-semester report card in student learning has come about by examining what feedback is not. Regardless of the report card format one of the greatest common concerns raised about the end-of-semester report card is the timing. How can a report card delivered in June effectively support student action, monitoring and adjustment about learning which has occurred in February? The quest to deliver more timely feedback has resulted in a more continuous approach to reporting.
To support the delivery of ‘timely’ feedback at Clayfield the Teaching and Learning Team has been trialling continuous reporting with students in Year 7 and 11. This approach of providing feedback means that students are being provided continuous formalized ‘developmental’ feedback about their learning. This feedback is available for parents through TASS and provides the opportunity for parents to be active participants in their daughter’s learning in real-time. This feedback is goal referenced, tangible, actionable, timely and focused. We look forward to the opportunity soon to share how this trial is progressing, the proposed implications for reporting at Clayfield and most importantly how continuous reporting can be used to support all learners at the College.
Care@Clayfield -The Primary Years
The ultimate goal of educators is to enhance students’ wellbeing and their capacity to succeed at school. At the heart of the Care@Clayfield Wellbeing Framework, is the Social-emotional (SEL) skills which help all students to connect, succeed and thrive. SEL is the collective term for a range of core skills and behaviours that enable students to understand and manage their own emotions, develop and sustain positive relationships with their peers, display empathy, support and kindness towards others and set and achieve their own personal goals (CASEL, 2018; Durak et al.2011). These competencies are also seen in our PYP Learner Profile which aims to develop active, compassionate and life-long learners.
Further explanation and detail of the importance of teaching SEL skills at school is unpacked below using the Sinek model of beginning with the “Why”, which Dr Cousins touched on in last week’s Collective.
The Why?
The OECD’s (2015) Skills for social progress: The power of social and emotional skills report states that educating for cognitive skills development alone is no longer enough. Social and emotional skills such as self-esteem, perseverance and sociability are now recognised as vital requirements for children and young people if they are to be ready for a swiftly changing world. These skills significantly determine the kinds of educational, social, economic, health and wellbeing outcomes a person can expect to experience throughout their lifetime.
Social and emotional learning capabilities help students of all ages acquire crucial friendship-making skills and develop their self-confidence. The more opportunities students have to rehearse these skills, the more likely they are to develop social competence and pro-social behaviours. These include meeting new friends, joining new friendship groups and bouncing back from friendship challenges.
The What?
Social and emotional learning (SEL) supports students to acquire and apply the knowledge, attitudes, and skills necessary to understand and manage emotions, set and achieve positive goals, feel and show empathy for others, establish and maintain positive relationships, and make responsible decisions. These five social and emotional skills or capabilities are developed through explicit instruction, peer and adult modelling and opportunities to practise or rehearse skills across a range of contexts. These include all Key Learning Areas, the playground, the sports field and at home. 1. Self-management - managing emotions and behaviours to achieve goals. 2. Self-awareness - recognising emotions and values as well as strengths and challenges. 3. Responsible decision-making - making ethical, constructive choices about personal and social behaviour. 4. Relationship skills - forming positive relationships, working in teams, dealing effectively with conflict. 5. Social awareness - showing understanding and empathy for others.
The How?
The deliberate and targeted whole-school Care@Clayfield framework with the SEL competencies embedded is best achieved through explicit teaching and learning strategies, complemented by parent/teacher education and support.
An example of this targeted approach was the Pay it Forward activity Year 6 completed on Wednesday, as part of their Well-Being and Foundation lesson. This day is a global initiative which exists to make a difference by creating a ripple of kindness felt across the world. Year 6 created a giant web of kind compliments to share with each other and hopefully we will hear and see this kindness paid forward in the coming days.
The Primary School follow the Bounce Back Program which guides students through Sequenced, Active, Focussed and Explicit programs (SAFE). The explicit teaching of SEL skills in Personal Development and Well-Being and Foundation lessons gives students the opportunity to practise and transfer the skills in classroom and playground contexts. This matrix provides further details of the concepts embedded in the curriculum. You will notice the important cyclical pattern of concepts, delivering more sophisticated language and detail at different stages of the Primary Years.
We are delighted to have Brett Lee speak to our students, staff and families on Wednesday 5 May. With over 22 years of experience as a Queensland Police Officer working predominantly as a detective in the field of Child Exploitation gives Brett a breadth of insight and expertise which is like no other. I have heard him speak on a number of occasions and it truly is life changing as he takes you through the dangers of online predators and the ease in which they can infiltrate any online platform. His simple, yet practical advice will have a positive impact on how your family lives within the digital world.
Wishing you all a wonderful weekend and week ahead.
What's Happening Primary
Mother’s Morning To celebrate Mother’s Day, we will be holding a Primary Mothers’ Day Morning next Wednesday, 5 May. The overview of the event is as follows. If you have not already RSVP via the invitation emailed home, please RSVP your attendance via this link by 9:00am, Tuesday 4 May.
Clayfield College Mothers’ Day Stall (run by the Primary Support Group)
Students will have the opportunity to shop for presents for their mothers, grandmothers and carers at the Mother's Day Stall. The Primary Support Group have organised a wide selection of gifts to choose from ranging in price from $5 to $20 including candles, stationery, jewellery, homewares and accessories.
Primary Students will be taken to the Stall during the day by their teachers and will have their teachers and parent volunteers to help them with their shopping. Students are to bring shopping money in a named envelope to school to be collected by their class teacher at the start of the day. They will be handed back to the student when attending the Stall and any change will be returned for safekeeping. Children will take their change and gifts home at the end of the day.
This Stall is a favourite annual event for the children and we are confident that they will find some really lovely gifts!
If you are able to help at the Stall please contact Beatrice Peters from the Primary Support Group on beatricepeters01@gmail.com.
Soccer Skills Next Wednesday afternoon from 1:40pm-2:40pm the Prep to Year 5 students, will commence a four week soccer skills program run by Football Queensland. The four sessions will take place on: - Wednesday, 5 May - Wednesday, 12 May - Wednesday, 19 May - Wednesday, 26 May. On these days all participating students are permitted to wear their PE uniform to and from the College.
Please ensure your child has a water bottle and play hat, which are clearly named.
Harmony Day Assembly (Prep-12) Friday 14 May – Student Registration for Harmony Day Parade If you would like your child/ren to participate in the Harmony Day Parade, please register via this link.
In the parade children are to wear their national dress and will be representing their country of origin. Further information regarding this event will be provided closer to the day.
Australian Early Development Census (AEDC) In May, Clayfield College will begin preparations for the fifth Australian Early Development Census (AEDC).
The AEDC gives us a national picture of the development, health and wellbeing of children in their first year of full-time school.
Children do not miss any class time, and parents/carers do not need to supply schools with any new information for the census. The AEDC gives us data at a school and community level. It is not an assessment of individual children.
By completing the assessments teachers can become more aware of the needs of individual children and the class as a whole. The census results are useful in planning for transitions to Year 1 and developing class programs.
Participation in the AEDC is voluntary. Prep parents/carers do not need to take any action unless they choose not to include their children in the census.
If you have any questions, or you do not wish your child to participate, please contact our Assistant Head of Primary, Mrs Vivienne Corness, at vcorness@clayfield.qld.edu.au by Friday, 7 May.
External Student Achievements It is always wonderful to share in the achievements of our students. May we please request parents/carers include Clayfield College Student Services StudentServices@clayfield.qld.edu.au in your email to the College regarding these successes. It is a pleasure to be able to communicate these achievements with our College community.

From CCOCA
As the College turns 90 this year, the Old Collegians Association is thrilled to be celebrating the 80th Anniversary of their foundation. A special Chapel service followed by High Tea will mark the occasion on Sunday 23 May, exactly 80 years to the day Miss Ashburn formed the Association, and we look forward to welcoming Old Collegians from across the nine decades. The description of their early years is best left to Miss Ashburn herself:
“1941 saw the formation of our Old Girls’ Association following a Tennis party for old girls. This was the beginning of many years of enjoyment, meeting past pupils and discussing with them their own activities and pursuits. For many years I enjoyed the privilege of being their President until finally it was decided it would be more appropriate to have an “old girl” as President. June Newman (nee Lock) was elected to this position and enthusiastically carried out her duties as such till 1969.
The newly formed Association joined with the school in trying to help our war effort and met regularly one night a week with me at the Boarding School to make articles needed by various bodies. I can recall a variety of articles made in papier mache and the masses of paper and glue which surrounded us. Whatever became of the finished articles is now beyond my imaginings!” Miss Nancy Ashburn, The History of Clayfield College, 1931-1973.
Although weekly working bees of papier mache activities in the Boarding House have faded from their calendar, the Old Collegians continue to cherish the friendships made during their schooling years, using the network for both professional advancement and personal connections. The social, emotional and financial support provided to our community through the continued involvement of the Old Collegians cannot be underestimated and is greatly appreciated.
