Men of John XXIII
The Men of John XXIII initiative was established under the principles of The Fathering Project (established by former WA Citizen of the Year and John XXIII parent Dr Bruce Robinson) to enhance the fathering experience at John XXIII College.
Parenting has a profound effect on children. From a fathering perspective, a child's development can be significantly impacted in several key areas (Ref1):
- Social Skills and Relationships
- Mental and Physical Health
- School Management and Performance and
- Social Behaviours (i.e attitude towards tobacco, alcohol, drugs, bullying and adolescent sexual behaviour)
Upcoming event
Please join us for a breakfast event tackling the changes and challenges of fatherhood, from early childhood to adolescence.
Our guest panel will explore this subject, facilitated by compere Glenn Mitchell. There will also be ample opportunity to network, discuss fathering, and come together as a community.
Don't miss this opportunity to connect with other dads and guardians and gain valuable insights. While focused on fatherhood, the discussions are relevant to all parents and guardians, male and female, so all are welcome.
