8th Annual Port Lincoln Clontarf Academy Awards Night

Last week, Port Lincoln High School hosted the 8th annual Port Lincoln Clontarf Academy Awards Night, celebrating the achievement, growth and success of our Clontarf Academy crew throughout the 2026 school year.

The evening brought together a fantastic representation of PLHS staff, Clontarf Foundation partners and supporters, along with proud families, extended family members and the wider community. It was great to see so many of our fellas out in numbers, looking sharp and dressed up for the occasion.

This annual event was again a wonderful opportunity to recognise the commitment and achievements of our crew across a range of areas, including attendance, education, employment, training, sport, leadership and personal development.

Year 10 student Scott Kropinyeri and Year 7 student Logan Miller did a fantastic job as the evening's MCs, confidently guiding guests through the ceremony and helping make it a memorable night. Their efforts were a great reflection of the leadership and confidence that our Academy aims to instill in its members.

A number of special awards were presented throughout the night. Each award recognised the individual efforts and achievements of our fellas, with recipients receiving their certificates and prizes in front of their families, friends and supporters.

Congratulations to all of our 2026 award winners:

• Junior Attendance Award: Charlie Parker
• Senior Attendance Award: Tyson Retallick
• Employment Award: Cy-Jett Davison
• Sportsman of the Year: Freddy Agius
• Junior Encouragement Award: Jayce Peel
• Senior Encouragement Award: Clifford Warrior
• Junior Training Award: Jairese Miller-Dorizzie
• Senior Training Award: Levi Fowler
• Junior Good Bloke Award: Blade Coulter
• Senior Good Bloke Award: Zaine Lennon
• Academic Award: Charlie Parker

Two of the most prestigious awards of the evening were the Clontarf Spirit Awards, which recognise the young men who best represent our Clontarf values. This year's awards went to our two MCs for the night, Logan Miller and Scott Kropinyeri; a fantastic achievement and well-deserved recognition for both boys.

We would like to congratulate every award recipient and acknowledge all of our fellas who have been part of the Academy crew throughout the year. Every boy has their own journey, and it was great to have the opportunity to celebrate their efforts and achievements together.

A big thank you to all the families, PLHS staff, Clontarf partners and community supporters who attended and continue to support our Academy. Your ongoing involvement plays a massive role in what we do and the opportunities we provide for our young men.
