2019 Pastoral Care Program: Information for- Parents

Year 8 Father Son Night -“ -Stepping Stones- – Tuesday March 19

The inaugural Year 8 Father / Son night will be held on Tuesday March 19, from 6.30pm in the Gymnasium, with break out discussions to occur in the Junior and Middle School classrooms. I would please encourage all Year 8 students to take this opportunity to bond with their father or a significant male mentor in their lives. It is always a wonderful evening, and students who have previously taken part in this program have been highly grateful for the experience. The program is run by the same facilitator as the Year 7 Mother / Son evening, Bill Jennings, from Time and Space.

Registration details have been emailed home, and student hand written letters have been posted out.- Registration is crucial, as all participants will receive name-tags and will be assigned groups for the break out discussions. If you have any concerns with the registration process, please contact me directly -“ bmurray@stpats.vic.edu.au
