The Fathering Project News
This year we are looking to develop our Scoresby Dads' Group as part of the Fathering Project. Our Scoresby Dads' Group aims to be fun, interactive and supportive, providing a community of like-minded dads with an opportunity to discuss and address the importance of being an involved and effective father or father-figure, and creating better outcomes for our children. Father-figures are also welcome – like uncles, grandfathers, coaches, teachers, etc. (NB: Must be over 18 years). The key role of the Dads' Group is to plan and host activities within our local school community to bring our fathering community together.
Ideally we would like the activities to be chosen and planned by the dads in our group. Activities can include barbeques, games afternoons, special events and dad catch-ups.
This year we would like to aim for the following number of activities:
Two ‘Dads and their Children’ activities
Two ‘Dads Only’ activities
The Fathering Project official events on the website and home activity ideas
If you are interested in helping to lead this group, please contact Nic Rheumer on nicole.rheumer@education.vic.gov.au.
This program cannot work without the support of our wonderful Scoresby Dads!

Weekly Tip From The Fathering Project
Your attitude toward learning has a profound influence on your child’s success. As research shows, fathers play a significant role in shaping their child’s academic mindset and motivation.
Tip of the Week: Encourage a Positive Attitude to Learning
Your enthusiasm and involvement can ignite curiosity and inspire confidence in your child.
Try this: Share a personal story about something new you learned recently and how it helped you. Then, explore a new topic or skill together - whether it’s building something, playing a quiz, or discovering a fun fact online.
Small actions, like praising their efforts, staying connected with their teachers, or reading together, can foster a love of learning that lasts a lifetime.
