Parent Enrichment Program
We do a lot for our sons. It doesn’t hurt to do a little something for ourselves occasionally. The Parent Enrichment Program is an enjoyable and stimulating opportunity to do just that: to nurture our own growth in terms of parenting, social, spiritual and personal growth issues.
2009 Program
We are fortunate this year to have a great range of presenters on a broad range of topics. In Term 1, the best-selling author Celia Lashlie will speak on the topic He’ll be OK: growing gorgeous boys into good men. In Term 2, Robyn Treyvaud will look at the many issues that surround young people and their travels in cyberspace. We know this is a topic of growing concern to parents.
Later that term, Dr Paul Collins and Marilyn Hatton will together explore ways in which we can develop and celebrate our spirituality in this day and age. Finally, in term 3, Dr Maria Pallotta Chiarolli, from Deakin University, will talk to us frankly about her area of expertise: the vibrant and sometimes confusing world of adolescent males.
Michael McGirr, the head of faith and mission, will be offering a retreat with a twist during Lent. It will take place on Saturday March 21.
A very warm invitation to join us is extended to all parents, staff, past parents and friends. Please bring along anyone you think might be interested.
Enrolments can be made on the registration form and returned to the school office at each campus or during the year when each seminar is advertised in the College Newsletter. These enrolments are a big help with planning. But people are always welcome on the night.
