The Clontarf Foundation exists to improve the education, discipline, life skills, self-esteem and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men and by doing so equips them to participate more meaningfully in society. 

Welcome back everyone! The start of a new school year can be both an exciting and demanding time for parents and students alike. We as Clontarf Academy staff members alongside our wonderful PBC staff are excited to be back. Continuing to build strong and effective relationships with our Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young men. With the joy of restrictions to a minimum this year we have started planning great camps, afternoon activities, worksite visits, morning training and much more for 2021. We remain the same in assisting the PBC community, ensuring active support for quality educational outcomes for all Clontarf Academy students at our school. 

All students in Week 2 will have a welcome back meeting outlining what to expect for the term along our expectations of students effort and behaviour. We are creating more ways for the greater community to connect with our program by volunteering events pencilled in the planner, teacher information workshops and our first Family BBQ Breakfast in week 5. With multiple reasons to get actively involved in the program we look forward to another great year ahead.
