Clontarf Old Boys Heritage Committee News The Clontarf Old Boys Heritage Committee (COBHC) was originally formed in May 2005 to maintain the history and heritage of the former Clontarf Boys Town. The group has continued to meet since that time, and has completed a number of projects, including a heritage trail and repairs to the clock tower. Most recently, a group of Clontarf Old Boys met on 26th June 2019, at a venue organised by Clontarf Aboriginal College, on the upper level of the main building. The purpose of this meeting was to discuss the future of the Old Boys Heritage Trail, which was officially opened on
12th September 2012. Funds were raised for the Heritage Trail through weekly raffles held by COBHC at the Farmer’s Market on Manning, from March 2010 until May 2014. Old Boys and their families/friends wishing to visit their boyhood days ‘Boys Town’ can arrange an appointment with Clontarf Aboriginal College by phoning (08) 9251-0666. The Clontarf Facilities Coordinator has advised us that all Old Boys/families/friends are welcome to visit the campus. Thanks to Dennis McNerney for this report

John and Jan Owen and their fantastic Kimberley Dental Team conducted another very successful clinic at Tuart Place in July 2019. Sixteen people received treatment including an extraction, fillings, scale & clean, and referrals to other services. Clontarf Old Boy Peter Bent said: “I was very impressed with the dental team. They squeezed me in for an appointment - thought I’d just get my teeth cleaned and checked. They discovered I needed a filling and said they could do it on the spot. It was a great service. A few people got fillings on the day.”
Kimberley Dental Team rocks!
