Back to School With Dad

Since 2006, the Centre for Fathering has been encouraging fathers to take time out from work in the first two days of the school year to ease their children into a new class. Back to School with Dad aims to encourage fathers to accompany their children to school on the first two days of a new school year, so as to reassure their children of their interest and involvement in their academic journey.

Virtual Back to School with Dad cards have also been designed for fathers and mothers to write a note of affirmation and encouragement, which they can send to their children’s mobile phone or place the printed cards in their lunchboxes or school bags, so that their children can be pleasantly surprised during recess. Check back in December for the next edition!
