The Fathering Project

Australian fathers want to be more involved in their children’s care and research emphasises the importance of fathers’ partnerships with schools. However, school family engagement is mainly seen as a mother’s responsibility. With an average of only 18% engagement of fathers involved in school and family partnership activity, The Fathering Project recognises the need to work with schools to increase the numbers of fathers and father figures involved in their child’s education.

The Fathering Project aims to increase father involvement in education by providing strategies and resources to schools. Our goal is to promote balanced representation of fathers and support parents, carers, and schools in optimising children’s education and wellbeing.

Cranbourne South Primary has partnered up with the Fathering Project and will be running 4 events throughout the year. Our first event is a BBQ and paper plane making on 13 March from 5:30-6:30. Check Compass for more information and to register to come along to our launch event.
