Clairvaux FC Covid19 Update
12:00am, Thursday 7 May 2020
Hello to all players, families, and club supporters,
Our club committee has been meeting regularly as well as liaising with our governing bodies in Football Brisbane and Football Queensland to assess the COVID19 situation and its impacts on our club.
Our priority, as always, is the health and wellbeing of our players, their families, and more broadly our local community. The aim of our committee is to slowly reintroduce club operations in a cautious and methodical manner in the months that lie ahead. However, we will only progress this plan if endorsed by the latest Qld Health advice, and if and when, sanctioned by our host organisations.
Prior to any resumption our committee will also need to be assured that resuming club operations is in the best interests of our club members and adequate risk mitigation is in place. This will include agreed operational and hygiene protocols to minimise potential impacts of COVID19.
We are currently working with Football Brisbane on a range of scenarios for the 2020 season that include extending the season, compressing our competitions, and modifying our completion format. Our committee also understands the impact that this will have on our players and families and are committed to working through these issues once there is some certainty around formats and timeframes.
We also understand the financial impact that COVID19 is having on families and pride ourselves in striving to be both inclusive and family friendly. If your family has been significantly impacted or know of a club member who has, please let our committee know and we would use our club networks to see what support our club may be able to provide at this time.
Glen Watson
On behalf of the Clairvaux FC Committee

Indigenous Round

A great weekend of football down at the Den last weekend with both Captial games being played in great spirit - a big thanks to the teams and supporters from North Brisbane.
Last weekend was an opportunity for our club wear our Indigenous shirts as part of the Indigenous round and to celebrate the history, culture and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and in particular the Mount Gravatt 'kaggur-mabul' or 'caggara-mahbill', meaning 'place of echidna' or 'echidna rests here'.
Thanks
6:50am, Tuesday 16 July 2019
A massive thankyou to the team at Bunnings Hardware and everyone at the club who volunteered their time and helped out at the Bunnings BBQ last weekend which raised much needed funds for the club.
A special thankyou to John Garside from PGT (Professional Goalkeeper Tuition) who donated a signed Valencia Team Jersey who play in the Spanish La Liga competition to be raffled off - you can purchase a ticket this weekend during our junior matches.
Junior football kicks off again this weekend so get down to the club and support our young Socceroos and Matildas!
Indigenous Playing Shirt
4:20pm, Tuesday 21 May 2019
In support of NAIDOC week (7th - 14th July) the club will be wearing an Indigenous playing shirt which has been designed specifically for our club.
The story behind the design;
Mt Gravatt (Kaggur Madul – ‘Echidna Mountain’) is situated on the land of the Yugarabul, Yuggera, Jagera and Turrbal peoples and is known for its echidna quills, used in sewing cloaks.
It is a massive resource zone for Ironbark and Blue gum used to make canoes.
Mt Gravatt/ Nathan has marked ceremonial/ dance/ burial sites for the indigenous community.
By using some of the Blue Gum and Hunting or Dance sites as inspiration, the shirt design incorporates indigenous images of Echidna foot prints diagonally across the shirt with a large echidna on the front of the shirt.
The shirt is available for purchase via our new online Merchandise Store for $30.00 and we would love to see everyone wearing one.
Orders are being taken now. Get yours here!

- What kind of insurances are available?
- Is your insurance cover sufficient?

- What amount of cover is right for my family?
- With cover inside superannuation, is it easy to claim?
- With cover inside superannuation, does my insurance premium increase every year as I age?
- What are the tax implications during a claim? Will I pay tax on the payout?
