Dad’s Night Out
Dads Night Out has been a feature at Hawthorn School since 1996. It is designed to help fathers in their crucial role of raising confident, resilient daughters. This supportive program will offer practical advice, insightful discussions, and a community where dads can connect and share experiences. It aims to foster deeper bonds and a better understanding with their daughters. Each monthly session will provide valuable resources and strategies for navigating the unique joys and challenges of guiding girls in today’s cultural environment.
Dad’s Mentorship Program
Building on the success of our Dad’s Night Out evenings, we are happy to introduce a Dad’s Mentorship Program. This new initiative provides a unique way for a handful of Emeritus Dads to support the men in our school community by sharing insights, one on one, to help navigate challenges in modern life. By actively fostering these individual friendships, we aim to provide a sounding board for the many choices men make in their family life. These informal confidential conversations will be offered offsite by a handful of grandfathers over coffee or a meal or during a walk. Having a trusted guide who has already experienced similar challenges can help to avoid common pitfalls, clarify goals and build confidence more efficiently. If you are interested in chatting with one of us, please send an email to dadsnightout@hawthornschool.com.
