Light it up and let your light shine!

On behalf of all our College staff, I warmly welcome you to our Clayfield family. I look forward to connecting with you either on campus or at one of our community events in the near future. At Clayfield College, we strive to be a beacon of light for parents seeking a true partner in the nurture and education for the whole of their child.

We have a plan for your child. It starts with knowing, valuing and understanding them as an individual with unique interests, voice and potential. Then, through customised programs that are designed to value the needs of each learner, your child becomes part of a nurturing community that is intentionally structured to maximise opportunities.

Working together, your family and Clayfield College can equip your child for a bright future with life in all its fullness.

Our holistic approach to the authentic wellbeing and personal development of your child means they will experience belonging, connection and growth without sacrificing academic rigour. The student-centred learning experience will deliver consistently strong academic outcomes.

Within the Junior School and Senior School sections of this publication, you will find information to assist you and your child with a smooth beginning to College life at Clayfield. As a new family, I encourage you to contact the school if there is anything requiring further explanation. It is important to us that you have a seamless transition.

We look forward to being part of your child’s educational journey and to celebrating their achievements. Always remember to light it up and let your light shine!

First Day Organisation

All students need to bring their new textbooks and stationery on their first day of school. These should be clearly labelled with their name. Class teachers will provide further information to the students in relation to book subject titles and headings. Student Diaries will also be distributed to students on their first day of school.

Lesson Times

Students can be dropped at school from 7:30am when there will be a teacher on duty in the Learning Resource Centre (LRC). We kindly ask for students not to be dropped off before this time as there will be no one in the classrooms or playground to supervise them.

• First bell: 8:25am
• Roll call: 8:30am
• Morning tea: 10:20am to 10:40am
• Lunch: 12:50pm to 1:30pm
• End of day: Pre-Prep to 2:30pm to 3:00pm
• End of day: Prep to Year 2 to 3:00pm
• End of day: Years 3 to 6 to 3:10pm

Daily Morning Arrival

Prep to Year 6 classrooms open from 8:25am. Pre-Prep open their doors at 8:30am.

Teachers are on duty from 8:00am and therefore you will understand the associated risks involved in leaving students before this time. If arriving before 8:25am, students are permitted to drop their bags outside classrooms, put their hats on and go to the playground area. The Learning Resource Centre (LRC) is open from 7:30am if students arrive before 8:00am. There should be no Junior students left unattended before 7:30am. A bell will ring, which signifies the beginning of the school day at 8:25am and students should line up outside their classroom to wait for their teacher. The playground equipment is not to be used before school; however, the Amphitheatre and Leopard Terrace areas are available for play.

A parent/caregiver must sign in their Pre-Preppie each day once the classrooms open at 8:30am.

It is advisable for parents to say a swift goodbye to avoid prolonging any anxious moments felt by your child. If your child has had a particularly difficult separation, we encourage you to call Main Reception on (07) 3262 0262 for an update on how they have settled.

2026 Calendar Events

The 2026 School Calendar can be found on the College App and via Parent Lounge. More information on how to access the College App is available here.

Student/Parent/Teacher Feedback/Feedforward

We are always seeking ways to provide the best possible feedback on students’ academic and pastoral progress. We aim to offer families many opportunities throughout the year to engage with their child’s development through Student/Parent/Teacher conferences, Gallery Walks, digital folio feedback and feedforward, and Semester 1 and 2 report cards.

Sun Safety

We have a ‘No Hat No Play’ policy in the Junior School. Please make sure you provide a named school hat each day for your child. In the past, students have relied upon spare hats to be used which can be an unhygienic practice due to the spread of hair lice. Each classroom has sunscreen for students to apply before morning tea and lunch. 

Uniform Guidelines 

Parents are asked to assist the College in ensuring their children are correctly dressed each day.

Please refer to our Uniform Policy below.

Mobile Phones and Watches

If bringing a mobile phone to school, students must sign these in at Junior School Reception before 8:30am. Mobile phones may then be collected at the end of the school day. Please note, Junior students are not permitted to wear smartwatches.

Crunch and Sip

Each day the students will be given an opportunity to enjoy a morning snack during the first two lessons. This time will provide students with a chance to ‘refuel’ on fruit or vegetables and ‘rehydrate’ with water. As many students enjoy early breakfasts or participate in before school activities, this important snack time will ease any hunger pains and improve concentration before the morning tea break. Please ensure you pack a healthy snack for your child to enjoy for ‘Crunch and Sip’ in their lunchbox each day. This snack is in addition to morning tea and lunch and cannot be provided by the Tuckshop.

Tuckshop

Junior students (Prep to Year 6) have the option to enjoy healthy food from the Tuckshop at morning tea and lunchtime. The FlexiSchools online ordering system is available for all students. If you do not have a previous account, please log on to the FlexiSchools website where you will find all the details to order from the Clayfield College Tuckshop. You will notice there is a cut-off period at 8:30am every day; therefore, morning tea and lunch orders need to be placed before this time daily. Tuckshop staff will not be taking orders with cash and we therefore respectfully ask that you do not order directly from the Tuckshop or send money with your child. Students in Years 2 to 6 may purchase extra snacks with their own money or student card after staff dismiss them from the eating area. The Flexischools online ordering system is the preferred method for Junior students using the Tuckshop. 

Fundraising Friday and Awareness Days Pre-Prep to Year 12

Specific fundraising days will fall on a Friday and be linked to a House. These will be confirmed in January 2026 and communicated in The Clayfield Collective and the Clayfield App. 

Awareness Days are also celebrated throughout the year with various activities; however, there will be no change to uniform, only ribbons or badges worn on the school uniform. 

• Clean-Up Clayfield Day           
• Earth Hour Awareness          
• NAIDOC Awareness               
• RUOK Awareness                     
• Pink Ribbon Awareness         

Clubs Program Prep to Year 6

Clubs are optional and the offerings change each Term. These opportunities will be communicated in The Clayfield Collective. 

Class Coordinator and Friends of Junior Group

Clayfield College is supported by our wonderful Parents and Friends Association (P&F) which is made up of the following interest groups: the Friends of Junior Group, the Friends of Sports Group, the Friends of Music Group and the Friends of Boarders Group. Each group has their specific focus and role, and come together to support the College by organising social events and fundraising.

Email

Staff can be contacted via email during the school week. Please note the best way to contact your class teacher is via the Student Diary, as they will check these every morning. If you are contacting the teacher via email, please be aware they may not be checking emails throughout the day and therefore will not be able to reply immediately.

Class Dojo

This platform is used by our Junior teachers for the sharing of class-specific information and pictures, directly with their class parents. It is important to note that Class Dojo is not used for Junior or Clayfield College formal notices. 

Class WhatsApp

The Friends of Junior Group, through the Class Coordinators, facilitate a WhatsApp Group per year level for any parent who wishes to join. This informal platform shares social events and practical information. This is a parent-based community platform that is run independently from the College, however, is monitored by the College.

Learning Resource Centre

The Learning Resource Centre (LRC) is utilised by students throughout the school week for book borrowing and quiet play before school and at lunchtime. The LRC is open from 7:30am Monday to Friday. For students in Years 1 to 6, Homework Club is offered from Monday to Thursday; 3:15pm to 5:00pm. Students must be booked in for Homework Club via email to studentservices@clayfield.qld.edu.au. It is preferred that parents sign their child out of Homework Club from the Upper LRC. Alternatively, a text message or phone call to your child when you have arrived at the College is acceptable, if communicated to the teacher on duty.

Who Should I Ask?

In most cases, your child’s teacher should be the first point of contact for questions of an academic or pastoral nature. If the answer cannot be found here, a member of our Junior Leadership Team would be the next person you should discuss concerns with. Please be aware, we are available and committed to discussing any matter; however, in most cases, the Junior Leadership Team would obtain information pertaining to your child from the class teacher in the first instance. Therefore, following the above guidelines may produce a more efficient outcome for you.

General information should be directed to Main Reception, which can be found at the entrance of the College.

Cenforce: The Trusted Sildenafil Option – Here’s Why Aussie Men Are Buying It Online From Our Pharmacy. Visit Our Pharmacy ↓

Cenforce in Australia: A Doctor’s Guide to Reclaiming Confidence After 30

Written by Dr. Michael Bennett, Australian Men’s Health Physician

Attention: The Silent Struggle No One Talks About

If you’re a man over 30, you already know the statistics, even if you don’t want to admit them. Erectile dysfunction (ED) affects around 1 in 5 Australian men by age 40, and the number climbs sharply after that. But behind the numbers is something much more painful: the quiet erosion of confidence, the avoided intimacy, the partner who feels rejected, the man who starts to believe he is no longer “enough.”

You are not broken. You are not alone. And most importantly, in 2025, there is no reason to suffer in silence. One of the most talked-about solutions among Australian men today is a medication called Cenforce — a cost-effective sildenafil citrate tablet that has helped millions of men worldwide regain their ability to perform. In this article, I’ll walk you through everything you need to know from a doctor’s perspective: how it works, how to use it safely, how to manage side effects like nasal congestion, how to check the expiry date, and how to navigate Australia’s import rules so you can access this treatment legally and confidently.

Interest: What Is Cenforce and Why Australian Men Are Asking About It

Cenforce contains sildenafil citrate, the exact same active ingredient found in Viagra. It belongs to a class of medications called PDE5 inhibitors. In simple terms, it relaxes blood vessels and increases blood flow to the penis when you are sexually stimulated, helping you achieve and maintain a firm erection. It does not cause automatic erections — sexual arousal is still required. This means it works with your body, not against it.

What makes Cenforce particularly attractive is its affordability. In Australia, brand-name sildenafil can cost $15–$25 per tablet at many pharmacies, while Cenforce, imported under the personal importation scheme, can cost less than $2 per tablet. For a man who wants a reliable solution without breaking the bank, that difference is life-changing.

Here is a quick comparison of the most common Cenforce strengths Australian men ask me about:

Table 1: Cenforce Strengths and Typical Use

Strength	Typical Starting Dose	Who It’s For	Onset Time
Cenforce 25mg	Low-dose option	Men with mild ED or sensitivity to sildenafil	30–60 minutes
Cenforce 50mg	Recommended starting dose	Most men over 30, first-time users	30–60 minutes
Cenforce 100mg	Maximum standard dose	Men who find 50mg insufficient	30–60 minutes
Cenforce 150mg / 200mg	High-dose (specialist use only)	Severe ED, under strict medical supervision	30–45 minutes

For most otherwise healthy Australian men over 30, I recommend starting with Cenforce 50mg. It provides a strong, predictable response with a lower risk of side effects than higher doses.

Desire: Solving Real Problems Australian Men Face

1. Cenforce Nasal Congestion Relief — Yes, It’s Manageable

One of the most common side effects of Cenforce is nasal congestion or a stuffy nose. This happens because sildenafil dilates blood vessels not only in the penis but also in the nasal passages. The good news? It is usually mild and short-lived — typically lasting 1–2 hours.

Practical doctor’s tips to reduce nasal congestion after taking Cenforce:

• Use a saline nasal spray before and after taking the tablet.
• Stay well hydrated — dehydration makes congestion worse.
• Avoid lying flat immediately after taking the dose; sit upright or walk around gently.
• If congestion is bothersome, ask your pharmacist about a decongestant sprayed locally (but avoid oral decongestants containing pseudoephedrine, as they can raise blood pressure).
• Take Cenforce with a light meal rather than a heavy, fatty one, which can worsen nasal stuffiness.

2. Cenforce Expiry Date Check — Do This Before Every Dose

Because Cenforce is often purchased from overseas or online pharmacies, checking the expiry date is absolutely essential. An expired tablet may have reduced effectiveness or, in rare cases, degraded into compounds that cause unnecessary side effects.

How to check properly:

Table 2: Expiry Date Checklist

Step	What to Look For
1. Locate the strip/blister pack	Expiry date is printed on the foil, usually as MM/YYYY
2. Check the tablet appearance	Should be intact, smooth, uniform colour, no cracks or powder residue
3. Storage conditions	Keep below 25°C, away from moisture and direct sunlight
4. If expired	Do not use. Dispose of safely and order a fresh batch

Never take Cenforce from a pack that has been cut without a visible expiry date. Always verify before your first use, and if the date is illegible, contact the pharmacy immediately.

3. Cenforce Aboriginal Health Considerations Australia — Culturally Safe Care Matters

As a doctor working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities, I know that men’s health conversations are often sidelined. ED is highly prevalent in Aboriginal populations due to higher rates of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease, yet many men avoid seeking help because of shame, stigma, or lack of culturally appropriate services.

If you are an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander man reading this, please know: ED is a medical condition, not a moral failure. Cenforce can be used safely by most men, but it is crucial to speak with an Aboriginal Health Practitioner, AMS (Aboriginal Medical Service) doctor, or your GP first, especially if you have diabetes or high blood pressure. Many AMS clinics now offer bulk-billed men’s health checks where you can discuss ED openly and confidentially. Cenforce is a tool — but your heart, kidneys, and blood pressure must be checked first. You deserve care that respects your culture and your privacy.

4. Cenforce Import Restrictions Australia — What You Need to Know Legally

Here is the honest truth: Cenforce is not currently registered on the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods (ARTG) as a TGA-approved brand. However, under the Therapeutic Goods Administration’s Personal Importation Scheme, an Australian resident can import up to a 3-month supply of an unapproved medicine for personal use, provided:

• You have a valid prescription from an Australian-registered doctor for sildenafil (the active ingredient).
• The medicine is for your own use or for a dependent.
• You do not supply or sell it to anyone else.
• You import no more than 3 months’ worth at one time.

I always advise my patients to keep a copy of their prescription with the order and to choose a reputable online pharmacy that provides genuine Cenforce in sealed manufacturer packaging. Avoid websites that offer to sell without a prescription — those are both illegal and dangerous.

5. Cenforce Rural Access Australia — Closing the Gap for Country Men

If you live in regional or remote Australia, you already know the struggle: the nearest pharmacy may be 200 km away, the local GP is booked out for weeks, and the thought of asking for Viagra from the chemist where your neighbour works is mortifying. Cenforce changes that.

Because it is affordable and can be ordered via telehealth consultations and delivered discreetly to your door, Cenforce has become a practical lifeline for rural men. I recommend:

• Book a telehealth appointment with a licensed Australian doctor who understands men’s health.
• Get a prescription for sildenafil and ask if Cenforce is appropriate for you.
• Use a pharmacy that ships to your region in plain, unbranded packaging.
• Always store Cenforce in a cool, dry place — rural heat can destroy the active ingredient.

No more long drives, no more awkward conversations at the local chemist. This is what modern men’s healthcare should look like.

6. Cenforce With or Without Food — Timing Matters More Than You Think

One of the most frequent questions I hear is: “Should I take Cenforce with food?”

The answer is either is possible, but timing and meal content matter:

• On an empty stomach: Fastest absorption, onset in 30–60 minutes, peak effect at 1 hour. This is my preferred method for most men.
• With a light meal: Slightly delayed onset (45–90 minutes), still effective. Good if you need to avoid stomach upset.
• With a heavy, high-fat meal: Absorption slows significantly. Onset can be delayed by up to 2 hours, and the effect may be reduced. Avoid fried foods, creamy sauces, and large steaks before taking Cenforce.

My advice: Take Cenforce 50mg about 1 hour before sexual activity on a relatively empty stomach. If you must eat, choose something light like a banana or a few crackers.

7. Cenforce 50mg Dosage Instructions — The Safe Starting Point

For men over 30 who are new to Cenforce, 50mg is the gold-standard starting dose. Here is exactly how to use it responsibly:

Table 3: Cenforce 50mg Dosage Instructions

Instruction	Details
When to take	30–60 minutes before planned sexual activity
How often	Maximum once per day
With or without food	Preferably empty stomach or light meal
Alcohol	Limit to 1–2 standard drinks; excessive alcohol reduces effect and increases dizziness
Grapefruit juice	Avoid — it can increase side effects
If 50mg doesn’t work	Do not double up. Speak to your doctor about increasing to 100mg
If erection lasts >4 hours	Seek emergency medical attention immediately

8. Cenforce Men’s Health Australia — More Than Just an Erection Pill

As a doctor, I see Cenforce as part of a larger men’s health strategy. Erectile dysfunction is often an early warning sign of underlying cardiovascular problems. If you are struggling with ED, I urge you to have a full check-up: blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, testosterone levels. Cenforce can restore your confidence tonight, but treating the root cause can protect your heart for decades.

Australian men deserve solutions that are affordable, private, and effective. Cenforce, when used under proper medical guidance, offers all three. It removes the cost barrier of brand-name drugs, the embarrassment of face-to-face pharmacy visits, and the hopelessness that comes from failed intimacy.

Action: Your Next Steps to Reclaim Your Confidence

You have read this far because you want change. You want to feel like yourself again — confident, connected, capable. Here is exactly what to do next:

1. Book a telehealth or in-person appointment with an Australian doctor. Mention that you are interested in sildenafil and ask if Cenforce 50mg is suitable for you.
2. Get a valid prescription. This is your legal key to personal importation and ensures you receive the right dose.
3. Choose a reputable pharmacy that supplies genuine Cenforce in sealed packaging. Verify the expiry date upon arrival.
4. Start with 50mg on an empty stomach, about 1 hour before intimacy. Have a saline spray on hand if nasal congestion occurs.
5. Follow up with your doctor if the dose isn’t right or if you experience side effects. Do not adjust the dose on your own.

You have one life. You have a partner who wants to be close to you. You have the right to enjoy intimacy without shame. Cenforce can be the bridge back to the relationship you deserve.

Don’t let another week of avoidance go by. Talk to your doctor today. Reclaim your confidence — one tablet at a time.

Behavioural Expectations and Policy Documents

Every student has the right to a safe, supportive, and nurturing environment. Clayfield College is committed to a culture of connection and care.
