Students arrived at Perth airport at 6 am. We had breakfast in the Alliance lounge with other Deadly Sista Girlz participants, boarding our flight at 7 am. We flew for one and a half hours to Mining Area C. When we arrived we were put into our groups for the day. We then travelled to the campsite. The girls participated in a range of activities which included listening to guest speakers, using mining equipment, a tour of the facilities, team bonding, soil sampling and visiting the mine pit.
Both Latoya and Tiffany said, “The excursion was a great experience”.

The Clontarf Foundation exists to improve the education, discipline, self-esteem, life skills and employment prospects of young Aboriginal men and by doing so equip them to participate more meaningfully in society. The five pillars that underpin the Clontarf mission statement are Education, Employment, Leadership, Well-being and Sport.

As it currently stands we have 36 boys in our programme. This number has the potential to increase as we progress through the school year.
