Let's Create Stronger School Communities

G'day Mullum Dads and Father Figures!

 

Just a quick update before our Barefoot Bowls this Friday night, as there has been a couple of changes.

The Bowls Club were planning to have a Food Truck come on Friday night, but unfortunately this has fallen through. 

We currently have 19 registered, which is great, but a little short of where we needed to be in terms of the minimum booking fee.

So, to get over these two small challenges, the Bowls Club will be putting on an all you can eat BBQ and including that in a revised price of $30 (which was what it was going to cost anyway including the $15 burger) which will be payable on the night. This will enable us to keep the booking and still provide dinner.

We apologise for the change in plans, but we're really excited about getting together with the Dads from our school community, and are glad it's still able to go ahead.

 

Registrations are still open, so you can head to https://bit.ly/3wXZ5cF or scan the QR code to register. Any questions, please email mullumdads@gmail.com 

 

Otherwise we look forward to seeing you from 7pm at Ringwood Bowls Club this Friday night, the 22nd. And stay tuned for details about next Terms Dads and kids night.

 

Cheers

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.
