Term 1 - Week 11
Welcome back everyone. Hope the break was kind to us all. Below is a quick recap of the last week of Term 1 from the Clontarf Academy.
We finished the term off on Monday with a BBQ for school staff friends and family where we played games and had a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we got so caught up in the fun we didn't get any photos. Thank you to everyone who made it down on the evening. Open invitation to all school staff for any of the activities we run throughout the school year.
As apart of our final afternoon activity for the term we did a clean-up around the school and saved all the empty bottles, cans and poppers we collected. After which we cashed them in down at the return and earn. The boys in the academy have raised $59.60 in term 1 alone, from recycling the rubbish they collect around the school. All money raised will go towards an academy room party at the end of the year.
On Wednesday during lunch, we held a Ping Pong competition in the quad. We well regularly hold games and competitions each Wednesday somewhere in the playground for all students and staff to get involved and we'll have prizes and give aways for the best participants. Everyone welcome.
On Friday the top attenders for the term were all invited to the pool for an awesome day out. It was a laugh watching the boys take on Monster Island. We had a BBQ lunch at the pool too, before returning to school to watch a movie in the academy room.
Ash and Corey were with our 11 and 12 boys travelling around NSW for tryouts in the Clontarf Stat of Origin team and the Northwest schools under 18's representative team. Isaiah Cochrane (for the second year in a row) and Declan Rooney made the Clontarf NSW state of origin team. The game will be played in Sydney on Thursday 23rd of May. More information to come on where and how you can watch. Reports from the staff were that all the boys played very well but can't all make the team. Special shout out to Jack Anderson who impressed on the day and was unlucky not to make the side.
