I have been with Clontarf for 5 years. I hope to make and have a positive influence on the students we work with. The best part of my job is working with the boys and their families and seeing the positive changes in their lives. I went to school in Bourke and then Dubbo High. I was inspired by the opportunity to work with the young men and assist in making them strong leaders in their community. The staff at South are always welcoming and the boys are so unpredictable which keeps you on your game.

I have been with Clontarf for 1 year. I aim to have a positive influence on the young mens lives. The best part of my job is working with the young men and showing them what is out there in life for them to do after year 12. I went to school in Christchurch, New Zealand and I was inspired by the opportunity to be able to help people. I wish I had something like Clontarf to help me when I was younger and show me what life can offer .

I have been with Clontarf for 1 year. I hope to help our indigenous youth to achieve their goals. The best part of my job is being a positive role model for youth and being able to assist them where need be. Working with students that have needed my help inspired me to branch out and try and make an impact on other kids.I went to South Campus and being able to help out where I grew up is great.

I have been working with Clontarf for 5 weeks. I hope to help our boys see a positive change in their lives. The best part of my job is being a positive role model in the young men’s lives. I went to school in Narromine. I was inspired to work with young indigenous boys to help them through their schooling years. I like that everyone at South gets involved in all school activities. My hidden talent is completing a Rubik’s cube in under a minute. Come and ask me about it!!

2017 College PresentationCongratulations to those students who performed last Wednesday night at college presentation night. There were 30 students from South campus who performed in the College band/College choir performance of ‘Carol of the bells’ that involved 60 students from across the three campuses. They really did sound spectacular!

2017 One Eyed Film FestivalThe 2017 ONE EYE FILM FESTIVAL saw a great deal of talent being showcased from South campus.Dr Anderson, English teacher (5th from left) with school captain Marcello Davis (5th from right) starred in SPACE a film she directed and written by Marcello’s mother, Erifili Davis. SPACE was shot on location in the Dubbo Family History rooms at the WPCC. Noah Cusack, Year 7 (4th from right), had the most number of short films included in the inaugural The Joeys - established to give encourage-ment to student filmmakers.Noah’s delightful use of ‘stickbot’ characters in his four animations of approximately 20 seconds each had the audience in rapture with titles such as ‘Mr Stickbot and the end of life’; ‘Halloween night and the naughty dog’, and ‘Stickbots and the dangerous skeleton’. Other students who acted in a film included: Maeve Sparrow (shown) and Jet Davis (not shown) who was the lead actor with Marcello in the very funky ‘ZIT’ written by Erifili Davis. This film was about teenage angst

having a ZIT and the fear of being rejected by the oppo-site sex! In the middle of the photo is a familiar face of ex South teacher, Miss Sai, who was in the production crew for another film LOST. Students and staff are encouraged to make their own short films for inclusion in next years festival. Go to Dubbo Film Groups facebook page to see all of this years festival films, or viewable under YouTube for the next 30 days.

Dubbo South ClontarfThis fortnight has been full of activity and movement within the Dubbo South academy. Staff have had a

number of opportunities for the young men to be involved in aside from our regular training mornings. We have loved all the different faces that have been getting involved with activities.

We thank all the young men for their efforts and want to encourage them all that if they work hard they will be rewarded accordingly.

COMMUNITY EVENT: Max Naden, Kaiden Hill, Kyle Rose volunteering their Sunday morning

to help out with river care duties near Troy’s reserve.

COMMUNITY EVENT: Supporting Orana Relay Walk For Life. The

crew had a good couple hours of walking and getting involved.

The year 12 students on stage taking it all in.

WORKSITE VISIT:A select few students had the chance to

do a worksite visit at the local rhino’s promotions factory. They learnt the

value of doing a job that you love and creating a business. Some lads have

now gone on to design a few logos that they will then screen print with Rhino

Promotions.

NAIDOC DAYWednesday 25th October our school celebrated the significance of NAIDOC. This year’s theme was “Our Languages Matter” the theme aims to celebrate the role that Indigenous languages play in both cultural identity and linking people to their land and water and also in the transmission of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander history, spirituality and rites, through story and song.We officially opened the day with a smoking ceremony and a traditional Wiradjuri welcome dance performed by uncle Ralph Nadens group, combined with a few of our students. Aunty Di McNaboe our keynote

speaker then shared with us her knowledge and understanding of the importance that language has in a contemporary society. This was followed by the cutting of the cake by junior AECG repsActivities included Koori-oki and live performances by students and staff.We also had special guest performers such as Doug Gordon and company from Delroy Campus, South Primary students who performed a couple of songs in language and a few staff members up doing the hoki-poki. Burnside Uniting Traditional dance group who are always a pleasure to host at any event. In addition we also had Rappers Ngali Shaw & Chad Peters who totally rocked the place with their rap songs.

Throughout the day we had additional activities such as; boomerang & spear throwing, TIG games, yarning circles, traditional food tasting, didgeridoo workshops, photo booth, face painting, logo design comp, jewellery making, hair braiding and beading. This year’s NAIDOC celebrations was one of the best our school has ever witnessed and it will be hard to top it next year but we look forward to the challenge.We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank everyone who helped make this year’s NAIDOC day a complete success.
