Dad Networks

Whether you’re a wife, son, daughter, colleague, friend, or a Dad, you can make a difference in the lives of all fathers and families in Singapore.

Fathers@Schools

Fathers@Schools aims to mobilise fathers to be role models to their children and to be more active in their children’s school lives.

The programmes seek to further the aims of the Dads for Life movement by creating platforms in schools to:-

• Promote father and child bonding
• Equip fathers with parenting and marriage skills
• Enable fathers to help other fathers become more active parents and contributors to schools, especially in addressing anti-social behaviours in the student population
• Promoting the formation of Father Groups in schools so fathers can come together to provide support to one another in their own parenting journey and to partner with educators to make unique contributions to the school environment of their children.

Dads, why not join a fathers group and help yourself and other fathers be a positive influence and role model for your children, for life! Visit our Fathers@Schools section.
