The Clontarf team, Brendon Heape, Will Lousick, Tim Ryan and Matthew Moon, are based fulltime at THS.
Brendon, Will, Tim and Matthew mentor and counsel students on a range of behavioural and lifestyle issues, while the school caters for their education needs.
Any Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander male students enrolled at the school are eligible to participate in the Clontarf Academy. The Clontarf Foundation uses a unique, innovative and highly successful approach to target young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men.
The program is about developing the values, skills and abilities that will assist the boys to transition into meaningful employment and achieve better life outcomes.
The Foundation partners with schools and communities to create ‘Clontarf academies’ which are embedded within the school grounds and education program. Academy activities are planned within the focus areas of education, leadership, employment, well-being, life skills and sport. In order to remain in the program, participants must continue to work at school and embrace the objectives of the Foundation.
