Next week, we have invited internationally renowned speaker, Brad Huddleston, to address our school community about the dangers of digital technology.

Brad is a qualified a computer scientist who has become aware of the dangers that technology can bring. For the last decade, Brad has researched the impact that excessive use of technology can have on adolescents and how parents, in particular, are totally unaware of the dangers that this presents to their children. His presentation will look at both the physical and emotional impact that excessive technology can have on the operation of the brain, which will help many parents explain the behaviours they are seeing in their children. Brad's latest book, Digital Cocaine, looks at the impact that screen time has on the brain and the way in which it has an identical effect to using illicit drugs. This is a meeting that all parents should attend, as we seek to provide a safe and secure community in which our children are to grow up.
