Clontarf Foundation Bairnsdale Academy

Clontarf continuing partnership with Kmart

Clontarf Academy member Peter Harrison has joined the Bairnsdale K Hub Store gaining part time employment. Store manager Maree Day has been a local pioneer in creating job opportunities for youth in the local area, and has long been a fantastic advocate for the Bairnsdale Clontarf Academy. 

Maree the former Bairnsdale Target Store Manager, before making the move to Kmart, has supported our academy members in making the often, in students minds, daunting task of working in retail. Retail gives fantastic exposure to the boys learning first hand how to deal with customers and servicing the needs of the community.  

Richard Harrison a former Clontarf and Secondary College Year 12 graduate has also played a pivotal role in helping the boys feel comfortable in their role at the store. We look forward to continuing the partnership going forward as Kmart employ many students all over the country and are a integral part of the Clontarf Program.
