It was an eye-opening experience at Charlie and the Screen-Free Factory this past Wednesday!

Nine brave students from Years 5 to 11 took the stage to speak honestly about the highs and lows of social media. With Charlie Pickering guiding the conversation, the panel walked us through the shifting role technology plays in their lives as they grow up.

The event kicked off with a fun twist—parents had to swear an "oath of immunity" for anything shared on stage! This led to plenty of laughter and some surprising "secret" reveals, giving parents and educators a much clearer picture of what’s really happening behind the screens.

 With gratitude to Charlie and the student panel for your insights, humour and brilliance!
