Rostrata Dad's Group & The Fathering Project
The Rostrata Dad’s Group was established to foster greater communication, and create a support network between fathers, father-figures and caregivers. We endeavour to organise multiple Dads & Kids events throughout the year, as well as opportunities for the Rostrata Dad’s to connect socially. Some of the annual activities that are hugely popular within the Rostrata community are the ‘Trip Into the City’ and the ‘Dad’s Campout’ on the school oval.
The Rostrata Dads Group is proud to be affiliated with The Fathering Project. The Fathering Project is an evidence-based organisation that aims to promote positive fathering behaviours and fathers’ engagement with their infants, preschool, primary school and adolescent-aged children.
Through our membership with The Fathering Project, members of the Rostrata community are able to access the resources provided through their members portal. From recipes to parenting tips, and even accessing local support groups, the members portal offers a wealth of information.
To become a member of the Rostrata Dads Group, please register with us by emailing the Dads Group directly at dads@rostratapandc.org.au.
