Dads in the Great Southern (DIGS)

DIGS is an opportunity for fathers and father figures whose children attend Great Southern Grammar to connect, get to know one another, tap into resources to help their children learn and grow, and have some fun experiences as a group along the way!

The DIGS group sits within the Parents’ and Friends’ Association and was established with encouragement from The Fathering Project - an organisation established with the aim of supporting fathers, and father figures, to be the best parent they can be so their children can thrive.  Check out thefatheringproject.org

DIGS will hold a number of events throughout the year - some just for dads and father figures to connect, some that might pass on a bit of useful fathering knowledge from experts and those who have been there before, and some aimed at providing memorable experiences for fathers and father figures to share with their kids.
