Finding a seat on a bus packed full of bags, swags and camping gear is no longer a problem for students at the Narrabri Clontarf Academy, with a new trailer donated by Santos freeing up valuable spaces for those able to attend end-of-term reward camps.
The Clontarf Foundation aims to improve the education, discipline, self-esteem and employment prospects of young Indigenous men, with overnight trips awarded to students who achieve at least 80 per cent attendance during the school term – while also acting as a role model to others.
Narrabri Clontarf Academy Coordinator, Clayton Pursche, said the $4,000 grant from Santos has helped the program find a practical solution to boost bus capacity.
“With the addition of the trailer, more space on the bus means more opportunities for our boys to go on camp,” he said.
“Thanks to Santos for the time and effort you provided to help with the trailer.”
Santos provides financial and in-kind support to 80 community groups and sporting clubs in New South Wales through our Community Partnerships program.
