Invitation: view Screenagers Documentary and support Westgarth Primary School
Westgarth Primary School Parents and Friends invites Northcote High School Parents to an exclusive screening of the documentary SCREENAGERS on Wednesday 2 August at 7pm at Westgarth Cinema.
Tickets are $21.00 per person. Kids over 10 are welcome too.
Are you watching kids scroll through life, with their rapid-fire thumbs and a six-second attention span? Physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston takes a deeply personal approach as she probes into the vulnerable corners of family life, including her own, to explore struggles over social media, video games, academics and internet addiction. SCREENAGERS reveals how tech time impacts kids’ development and offers solutions on how adults can empower kids to best navigate the digital world and find balance.

Campaign to re-open St Georges Rd crossings
We are campaigning to ensure the St Georges Rd crossings are re-opened after the water works north of the school, as currently families are being isolated from one another across this divide. We are keen to ensure St Georges Rd continues as a shared pathway for cyclists, pedestrians, pub transport commuters and motorists, rather than driving this traffic into our back streets, creating greater congestion and risk for children in the area. Follow the link below for details and to sign the petition.
