About Clontarf Foundation
The Clontarf Foundation exists to improve the education, discipline, life skills, self-esteem and employment prospects of young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men, and by doing so equips them to participate more meaningfully in society.
Ampol has been supporting the Clontarf Foundation since 2011, and in 2025, this ongoing partnership contributed to a strong year of growth. By the end of the year, 11,233 boys were enrolled in Clontarf programs across Australia, with three new academies launched - further expanding Clontarf’s reach and impact in communities nationwide.
Mark Weston - Warrnambool Academy, 2010 Graduate
When Mark entered Year 12 at Brauer College, his family was confronted with his mum’s cancer diagnosis and a sudden relocation to Melbourne for treatment. At the same time, Clontarf launched its first Victorian academies - and Mark became one of the first participants. With three academy mentors supporting him through school, family pressures and uncertainty, Mark finished Year 12 and stayed connected with Clontarf long after graduation.
Over the past 15 years he has remained deeply involved - speaking at events, mentoring boys, helping with partner functions and reconnecting with staff across states as his career has developed. Mark credits Clontarf with helping him build confidence, resilience and pride in his culture, and says the program has continued to be there for him well beyond school.
"Finding Passage"
Mark Weston. Gunditjmara.
“Clontarf to me is about connection and building relationships. Connecting with people, with culture, with yourself and the connection with the person you want to be. Being a graduate and continuing to stay involved with the program has let me build the relationships to help me succeed in all of that. This artwork represents the journey we take to build our connections and find our place.”
