The Imperfects Podcast 

Perfectly Imperfect

All too often when talking about infertility, we only tell one side of the story. Traditionally in the public discourse, it has very much fallen into the category of a ‘women’s issue’. However, as our guest this week Reece Conca can all too painfully attest, 40% of infertility issues are actually male factor related.

Reece Conca is a former Australian Rules Footballer, who played over 150 games for Richmond and Freemantle.

When Reece and his partner Bell were finding it difficult to conceive, it took them far too long to discover that Reece has a condition called Azoospermia, which effects 1% of men – a condition where in Reece had no sperm in his semen.

In this Vulnerabiltea House, Reece speaks openly and honestly about the physical and emotional toll of a fertility journey he is very much still on, the hormone injections, the surgeries and much, much more.

This week our blitz focus is:

Our new blitz for Week 10 will be “Being Punctual”

What does the word ‘punctual’ mean?

It means: Doing something at the agreed or proper time.  In other words, Don’t be late!!!!

At St Patrick’s, we have bells that ring to let you know when things start and finish.  

This is so everyone can be in their class on time and to also let you know when to go out and to come in at break times.  

We have noticed after break times that students are coming to their classes late without a reasonable excuse.  

There is plenty of time to go to the toilet, get a drink and line up when you hear the music. 

Let’s all make sure that we are punctual and getting where we need to be ON TIME
