The special men in our lives enjoyed time together with their kids at Barooga Public School and Cobram Primary School on Friday, September 6.

Before heading off to work, some took to mini golf, others handed out advice on how to kick a footy, while some relished the simple pleasure of spending one-on-one time with their kids.

The Courier went to the schools to see what was happening.
