As we wrap up another busy and exciting term at Clontarf, we’d like to take a moment to reflect on the incredible experiences and opportunities our boys have been involved in. From worksite visits to leadership camps, the term has been packed with growth, challenge, and achievement.

Worksite Visits – Inspiring Futures

This term, our students had the opportunity to explore future career pathways through worksite visits to Officeworks, Withcott Seedlings, and QANTAS. These visits gave the boys valuable insight into a wide range of industries and showed them the many options available after school. Whether it was learning about logistics and customer service at Officeworks, plant production and sustainability at Withcott Seedlings, or aviation and operations at QANTAS, each visit sparked interest and broadened horizons. A huge thank you to all the businesses that opened their doors to our young men.

Year 7 & 8 Rugby League Camp – Playing with Heart

Our Year 7 and 8 boys recently took part in a Rugby League Camp that tested their skills and showcased their Clontarf spirit. The boys trained hard, played harder, and gave it their all on the field. It was fantastic to see such determination, teamwork, and resilience from our youngest cohorts. They represented the Academy with pride, and we look forward to watching them grow both on and off the field.

Year 9/10 Leadership Camp – Stepping Up

The Year 9 and 10 Leadership Camp at Murphy’s Creek was a standout experience this term. The boys took on a series of challenging activities designed to build confidence, trust, and leadership. Highlights included the High-Ropes Course, the Stick Dig Leadership Game, and the thrilling Giant Swing. Each activity pushed students beyond their comfort zones and helped build stronger connections among the group. It was fantastic to watch these future leaders rise to the occasion.

Year 11/12 Employment Forum – Eyes on the Future

Our senior students travelled to the Gold Coast for the annual Employment Forum—a vital step in preparing for life beyond school. This event gave our Year 11 and 12 boys the chance to meet face-to-face with employers from a range of industries who are actively looking to recruit. From construction to hospitality, defence to mining, the opportunities discussed were real and exciting. The boys dressed to impress and asked thoughtful questions, showing just how seriously they’re taking their futures. Plenty of our lads have gained interviews since we returned from the coast.
