Clontarf Academy

At Kent Street we are home to a branch of the Clontarf Foundation. Clontarf uses a unique, innovative and highly successful approach to target one of the most at risk groups in contemporary Australian society – young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men.

Clontarf Academy

The Clontarf Foundation exists to improve the education, discipline, self-esteem, life skills and employment prospects of young Aboriginal men and by doing so, equip them to participate more meaningfully in society. The six pillars that underpin the Clontarf mission statement are Education, Employment, Leadership, Partners, Well-Being & Sport.

Using the existing passion that these boys have for sport allows Clontarf to initially attract them to school and then keep them coming. It is however, not a sporting programme – it’s about developing the values, skills and abilities that will assist the boys to transition into meaningful employment and achieve better life outcomes.

We are very proud of our Clontarf boys and the Kent Street academy, their presence enriches the culture of our entire school as they lead us in indigenous celebrations throughout the year.
