In 2022, Diggers Rest Primary School launched our very own Dad’s Group with the assistance of the Fathering Project. Our Dad's Committee strives to provide opportunities for Dad's and/or male role models to connect authentically with their children in a fun and inclusive environment. 

​

Evidence shows that

• Fathers have a significant impact on the academic, social and emotional wellbeing of children, with lasting influences into their adult life

• Children do better at school when fathers are involved in their educational activities

• Children whose fathers participate in school activities, meeting and events also enjoy school more, are less likely to have behaviour issues and are more likely to participate

​

What we do

• 1 x Dad's & Kids event each term

• 1 x Dad's committee meeting each term
