Term 4 Week 8
As the end of the term fast approaches and the days continue getting both longer and hotter, the Narrabri Clontarf Academy is bursting with activities. It's awesome to still see so many of the boys engaging in school and our supports.
For afternoon activities the boys pushed our 2 ping pong tables together to play four square table tennis. Unlike doubles in tennis this is a free for all game. The ball can be played in any direction bouncing on any other plays table. It's always a lot of fun and excitement.
Year 10 have been out in the work force with the school's mandatory work experience, it was good to see the Clontarf lads working hard and learning new things.
On par with the last few weeks afternoon activities, we also cooled off in the pool, playing volleyball, touch football and holding a diving competition. It's a great way to finish the day and comes highly recommended by the academy members.
Morning trainings (will be the same next week) we played Oztag. Some fun warm up games and running the gauntlet seeing who could get the furthest and maintain their tags, before playing a half field game. A lot of skill on show during the game. Very close game with some big plays. Full field runs after intercepts, big side steps sending defenders falling over. Nearly as good as watching an NRL game. I encourage all school staff to come down and check it out for themselves.
