Rangeville State School is pleased to welcome one of Australia’s most accomplished parenting authors and journalists Madonna King to our campus in March 2021.

The bestselling author of Being 14 and Fathers and Daughters shares with us what your daughter needs you to know about her shift from child to teenager – how she feels, what she thinks, what worries her and what you can do to help.

Award-winning journalist, commentator and author Madonna King sought the counsel of 500 10-year-old girls, 1 600 mothers, and 100 Year Five school teachers for her new book, TEN-AGER. Dozens of school principals, teen psychologists, doctors, researchers and female role models were also interviewed to provide a guide for parents helping tween daughters into adolescence.

Turning 10 used to be a “double-digit” celebration; now it is the beginning of the teen years. TEN-AGER takes our girls’ dreams and worries, wants and fears and puts them to the experts, in the hope it helps parents guide their daughter into adolescence.

This is the perfect evening to help parents understand how their daughter is feeling, what they need to know, what to say, and when to stay silent and listen.

Registrations are essential. Please be seated in the W Block Hall for a 6pm start.
