MOTHERS' DAY BREAKFAST

Fathers of the Oak - Convenor Matt Kohler

Last Thursday evening, the Fathers of the Oak held their first event for 2022, lawn bowls at the Chirnside Park Lawn Bowls Club. With 45 dads and father figures in attendance, it was a great night, plenty of laughs and a great chance to connect and re connect with other dads in our school community. It was great to see so many of our dads out there, and the assistance provided by the bowling club was fantastic.

We received this note from the club :

Hi Mathew,

 Just a note to say what a pleasure it was to have the Wonga Park PS “dads” bowling on Thursday. We do host many functions such as this and although they are always a success, not all are as enthusiastic, so receptive to being shown how to control the bowl and appreciative of our members` time.

 We look forward to planning our next event, which will be a kids and dads event in term 3, so keep an eye out for the details when they are sent out. We have also attached a brief overview of the Fathering Project and what it does within our school community, and would encourage you to go the web site www.fatheringproject.orgthere is lots of valuable content and you can locate the Wonga Park primary school group, and sign up for updates while you are there.
