We enjoyed another Open Day yesterday, and encourage all families intending to enrol for 2017 to return their enrolment forms by next TUESDAY 10 MAY.
As we settle into Term 2 of our first year at Harkaway Hills College, we attach some photos of our students, for your enjoyment.
Key Parent Function - 'Raising Great Kids' - A presentation for parents of children aged 3-8
An essential part of the mission of Harkaway Hills College is to support parents in their role as primary educators of their children. In pursuit of that mission, the College provides to its enrolled families each term a Key Parent Function - usually a presentation on a parenting topic relevant to the age of their children.
This term, the College is pleased to extend the invitation to those in the wider community who would benefit from a wonderful presentation by Dr Andrew Mullins.
Dr Andrew Mullins is author of Parenting for Character, and has given many excellent presentations for parents on a variety of topics around Australia and internationally. He has 36 years of teaching experience - over half of which he served as Headmaster of two PARED schools in Sydney, and for four of which he was also Chair of the Headmasters’ Conference (NSW). He holds an appointment as Adjunct Associate Professor at the University of Notre Dame Australia. His doctorate focuses on the intersection of moral character and neuroscience. We are keeping an eye out for his new parenting website and blog that is about to launch.
He is therefore uniquely and amply qualified to shed light on the capacity that parents have, as primary educators, to frame the character of their children from their earliest years.
