About Us
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.
In 2017, Kirwan State High School partnered with The Clontarf Foundation to introduce an Academy at our school. 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.
The Clontarf Academy involved participants in activities, camps and workplace visits to develop a broad range of life skills. In partnership with Kirwan State High School, the Academy works with students to ensure they complete school and transition to further training and/or employment.
Any Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander boy enrolled at Kirwan State High School can apply to be part of the programme.
All students engaged in the Clontarf Academy have access to Year Level rooms before and after School and during breaks.
