Smartphones: the impact on children
St Joseph’s is a phone-free school and children do not require a smartphone to access their learning at any point.
We encourage everyone within our community to be fully aware of the risks that smartphones pose to children’s brains, emotional and interpersonal development and cognitive function.
Please take a moment to view this presentation, which will give you the confidence to speak with your child and prevent tech companies from stealing their time and their childhood.
