Fathering Project
Let's Create Stronger School Communities
Research shows that the whole community benefits when schools specifically target fathers. Why directly target fathers?
- Children do better in school when their fathers are involved in theirschool, regardless of whether their fathers live with them or live apart
- Children whose fathers participate in school activities, meetings and events also enjoy school more, are less likely to have behaviour issues and are more likely to participate in extracurricular activities
- Fathers are more likely to engage in school if they are directly invited or targeted.
