Growing Good Men
Dear Fathers of Years 8 to 11 boys,
I would like to invite you and your son(s) to attend the Growing Good Men weekend at Lake Keepit Sport and Recreation Centre on April 1st- 3rd. We will begin at 6:30pm on Friday and finish at 2.00pm on Sunday.
We all want to have a rich and rewarding relationship with our sons, and like any relationship it takes
commitment, time and effort. We all want to give our sons guidance, wisdom and love. Fathers are instrumental in giving their sons the gift of manhood. The Growing Good Men weekend offers fathers and their sons the time and opportunity to discuss these issues and make plans for the way ahead. The weekend is a wonderful time to reaffirm the importance of this core relationship. Plus it is a time to relax
and have fun together with other fathers and sons.
