St Patrick's Primary School, Cessnock

Our parents, carers and school staff are invited to attend ‘Raising Good Men’, delivered by renowned educator and advocate Daniel Principe.

Join Daniel to explore the cultural influences shaping boys and young men today, including social media, online influencers, peer culture and broader messages about masculinity.

Daniel will share evidence-informed insights and practical strategies to help adults stay connected and positively influence boys and young men.

Registrations are essential to join these in-person events at:
📅 St Joseph's College, Lochinvar on Monday 14 September
📅 Trinity Catholic College, Adamstown on Tuesday 15 September

*Whilst these sessions are primarily aimed at parents and carers, particularly those of boys aged 9-18 years, the content will also be relevant to staff and may assist them to better understand the questions, concerns and perspectives families are bringing to schools in this space.
