👏 Clontarf Seniors Inspired by Site Visit!
Our senior Clontarf Academy members had a great day out visiting a local worksite, thanks to Jason ‘Bubba’ Brodie from BMD. During their visit they gained a genuine insight into the industry — from bacon & eggs at smoko 🍳 to hearing inspiring career stories from staff at BMD, Enerven, Walga and Zancott.
Sincere thanks to everyone involved for sharing your time and experiences — the boys left feeling motivated and energised! 💪

📢 Week 2 Update – Term 2! 🏆🌟
As the term rolls on, the house competition remains fierce and full of energy. Lowly is holding onto the top spot with 3,338 points, showing consistent strength. Wetlands stay close behind with 2,911 points, while Bonython remains in the race with 2,834 points. Fitzgerald is pushing forward with 2,429 points, demonstrating determination and team spirit.

Last term year 9 performing arts students attended a workshop with 'Gravity and Other Myths' in connection with their performance of '10000 Hours'.
This workshop focused on physical theatre and circus skills including counter-balance, counter-tension, pyramids, and partner swings. Students deepened their understanding of ensemble work, physical safety, and creative arts processes ahead of their own creation tasks this term.

🚗 Did You Know? 🚶♀️
Driving at walking pace in our school car park helps keep everyone safe—especially our students, families and staff.
👧 Children can be hard to see.
🎒 Students may be distracted.
🚶♂️ Pedestrians have right of way designated crossings.
⚠️ Slowing down to walking speed (around 5 km/h) gives you more time to stop, react and prevent accidents.
Next time you're entering or leaving the school grounds, walk your wheels. Let’s keep our school community safe 🛑
