Term 2 Week 10

Final week of the term. I hope everyone enjoys the break and finds some warmer weather. This week we saw a group of our boy’s dance at the primary schools NAIDOC week assemblies. Monday the boys started at West Public School were Zeiken and Lucas lead the assembly with an acknowledgement of country before the Westies held their presentations and our boys danced. They then went to St Francis Xavier School, were again our boys danced at the end of the assembly. Friday morning the boys engaged with Aunty Patty at Narrabri Public School. Patty and Clontarf Alumni Chris, lead Narrabri High School and Narrabri Public School boys in the dancing, it was sensational to see our young men representing Narrabri High School and the community with so much pride.
Throughout the week we held some mixed games of touch and basketball for a bit of fun and to engage with the other students at NHS. We cashed in all our cans and bottles at the recycling centre. The boys are slowly raising money for the end of year sleepover. All money raised by the boys is theirs to spend how they choose. Whether it is on movies or games or food or drink. It's all up to the boys and what they want to do.
Centacare sat down with our Year 7 cohort for their final health session. The boys learn a lot about their emotional regulation through the program "drumbeat". Centacare will be back in Term 3 working with our Year 8 boys.
We had a mix of indoor and outdoor activities for our morning trainings and afternoon activities. Playing Chess, Clontarf Guess Who, Watching A Minecraft Movie, Pool, Touch Football and a mix of different little activator and warm up games. During our activities we often let the boys have a go at taking photos. The final photo for the term is one of my favourites, taken by Pheonix of Jayden.
Once again, I hope everyone enjoys the break.
