The Fathering Project
SAVE THE DATE:
Our first 'Fathering Project' event will be a Pizza and Paper Planes evening at St Anne's College on Thursday 16th May 5:30-7:00pm. This is a fun event for Dads/Grandparents/Uncles and students.
What is The Fathering Project?
The Fathering Project is a national organisation that aims to positively promote the important role of Fathers, and Father figures, through the formation of Dads Groups in schools, communities and the work place.
The vision is to provide every child in Australia with an effective father or father figure. Dads will benefit from a better relationship but most importantly – it’s all about the kids! More information can be found at https://thefatheringproject.org

School Wide Positive Behaviour Support
Schools today are facing intense scrutiny and are under tremendous pressure for improvement compounded by major issues that place significant demands on our schools. Some of the issues are:
- Increasing diversity of student demographics;
- Changing home structures and complex family relationships;
- Decline in students’ social skill, coupled with increased social media issues and cyber safety;
- Antisocial behaviour in schools is on the rise and becoming increasingly more complex;
- Increase in mental health and school attendance concerns;
- Students with special needs and/or complex backgrounds coupled with diminished behaviour management skills of staff and subsequent increased stress levels;
- Stringent academic accountability positioned against low or underperforming student academic achievement;
- Inefficient and ineffective school organizational systems and procedures for the management of student behaviour.
St Anne's Colleges expectations from all its members are quite simple:
Respect everyone and everything
Do your best
Help other succeed.
At St Anne's this looks like:
- Calm, quiet and peaceful
- Equipment and materials neatly stored
- Sharing our space
- Returning materials to their place after use
- Waiting for your turn
- Lead by example
- Offer a helping hand
- Being patient, think twice, act once
At St Anne’s College, in faith, wisdom and learning, we:
are wise about what we do, we know our impact.
What does this look like in your home?
