Year 9 - Time and Space Father-Child Event - Reminder

From the Heads of College and Grammar

On Tuesday 16 August 2022, 6.15pm we will be holding a ‘Time & Space Father-Child event’. This innovative single evening program provides an opportunity for our Year 9 students and their fathers (or male mentors) to connect and reflect on the joys and challenges of this time in their lives. In Term 2, we held a Mother-Child event for Year 7 and the feedback was very positive. This event is a wonderful way to deepen connections with your child.

If you have not yet registered your attendance, please click  here.  Follow the prompts and click submit at the end. You will then receive a confirmation email from Time & Space. You will be asked to bring a 'treasure' in the confirmation email. The students do the same and we will brief them about this at school.

Please see the attached flyer for further information.
