Fathering Project

Mullum Primary School is an active partner with the Fathering Project and works to ensure giving children the best fathers and father figures they can have so they can thrive academically, socially, physically, and emotionally.

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.
