Screen Time or Scream Time: Parenting Teenagers in a Digital Age
Brett and Kate Ryan (Focus on the Family) will bring encouragement and practical tips on screen time and other issues facing parents.
Today's teenagers are immersed in a digital world where decisions regarding privacy, exposure and harassment via social media are made daily. Without boundaries, digital media depletes time with family and friends along with physical activity, while contributing to sleep disorders and attention difficulties. Guiding teenagers through the online world needs attention, patience and constant recalibration.
This in-person event will also be streamed online. A zoom link will be made available upon registration. The event is free. Limited capacity. Bookings essential.

Breakfast Club
Foodbank Victoria, in partnership with the Victorian Government launched the School Breakfast Clubs Program in 2016. The goal was to deliver nutritious breakfasts into 500 primary schools across the State. In August 2019, the Victorian Government announced an expansion to the program – enabling 1,000 Victorian Government primary, secondary, P-12 and specialist schools to deliver School Breakfast Club to students in 2021.
Breakfast Club has started again at Beaumaris secondary College. Each Tuesday and Thursday morning, students are welcome to grab a piece of fruit, a fruit cup or milk drink to have for breakfast or even to take a healthy snack for later. It has become a really popular part of our students week.
