Term 2 - Week 2
Second week done and dusted. Back into the full swing of things. Fair bit on and that's the way we like it.
Tuesday a small group of our boys went over to the Aboriginal burial ground by the rugby fields and west lake. Steven Booby had a yarn about the history and what the site means to the local people. The boys then helped beautify the area and restore the footpath.
We played a mix of games for morning training. With touch football always the stand alone favourite. The boys are eager to play in our upcoming 7/8 Clontarf Rugby League carnival. At the end of the term the youngest academy members will travel to the Hunter region for a camp and the carnival.
We visited a few different classrooms this week to see what the boys were creating for Mother’s Day. Some fine work on display. We know they'll be making mum, aunty and or nan proud come Sunday. We too as an academy decided to focus on the lead ladies in the boys lives this week. We spent Thursday afternoon in the kitchen with Mrs Wallace, Mrs Tomlinson and Ms Bailey baking cakes, slices and muffins. Friday morning the boys added the final touches to their deserts before serving them up to all the mothers, aunties and grandmothers who came down for our morning tea.
Big thank you to all staff and families who came down to our morning tea. It means a lot to the Clontarf staff to see your support of and faith in the program. We really appreciate it. It means even more to the young men involved in our program so thank you one last time.
Shout out to Clinton (Junior) Lamb for winning 1st prize at the show for his work.
