To all fathers/guardians/mentors of our Year 9 students. We invite you, the significant men in our Y9s lives, to the Year 9 ‘Boys Breakfast’. This is held onsite Friday, 26 March 7:00 – 8:15am.

The aim of the breakfast is to continue the momentum gained from the Y9 Ladder to Manhood programme. All attendees will leave the ‘Boys Breakfast’ with ideas how to effectively support and communicate with their teenage son.

Breakfast is subsidised. For $10 you receive breakfast for two. Hostel parents can charge this to their son’s account.

Early next week a link will be sent by text message. The link will direct you to a booking form. The booking form includes details about the breakfast, how to confirm your attendance and your method of payment.
