Hold the Phone - Wait Mate
About
Let’s give our children more time to simply be kids.Join us in the school hall on Friday 19 June, 9:45–10:30 am for an engaging parent session exploring digital wellbeing and the realities of growing up with constant connectivity.
Hear from specialist speakers as they unpack how smartphones, devices and social media are shaping children’s lives today. A clinical psychologist will share practical, research-informed insights into how screen use impacts young minds and what this means for families.
You’ll also learn about Wait Mate, a growing initiative supporting families to delay smartphone use and rethink the role of technology in childhood—giving children more time to play, connect and simply be kids.
This is a valuable opportunity for parents and carers to come together, build understanding and consider simple, collective actions that support healthier digital habits for our children.
