Raising Girls with Steve Biddulph

​Earlier this year on Wednesday 11 April, we hosted renowned parent educator and psychologist Steve Biddulph for the first time. On that night, Steve gave his world famous talk on raising boys. It was an enlightening, moving and emotional night and everyone who attended walked away smiling, a little wiser and with a new perspective on boys, including how they grow and develop and the importance of key relationships in their lives. Many left inquiring about whether Steve would be able to return to cover girls.

Death of Mr Frank Lewis

Last week St John’s held a funeral service to remember the life of Frank Lewis, old scholar of Boys’ Town and past parent and friend of Dominic College. Frank was born in 1943 in England, grew up in a Catholic orphanage and was one of the 39 child migrants sent to Glenorchy during 1952. These boys had some hard times, struggled with schooling and often were left to cope with life after school without support or family.
