The book for the gathering on 18 June is a recently published non-fiction titled “Teen Brain” by David Gillespie.
From the Publisher, PanMacmillan Australia:
From Australia’s most trusted non-fiction researcher and author comes the book that every parent needs to read.
With their labile and rapidly developing brains, adolescents are particularly susceptible to addiction, and addiction leads to anxiety and depression. What few parents will know is that what we think of as the most typical addictions and problematic teen behaviours – smoking, drinking, drug-taking, sex leading to teenage pregnancy – are on the decline.
The bad news is that a whole raft of addictions has taken their place. Whereas once the dopamine-hungry brain of a teenager got its fix from smoking a joint or sculling a Bundy and coke, it is now turning to electronic devices for the pleasure jolt that typically comes from playing online games (if you’re a boy) and engaging with social media (if you’re a girl).
However, all is not lost. In Teen Brain, David sets out clear, reasonable and effective rules to help you confidently manage your kids’ use of screens at this critical point in their lives.
AUTHOR INFORMATION
For the last 10 years, former lawyer and bestselling author David Gillespie has devoted himself to exposing forces in today’s society that work against our interests as consumers and citizens. Beginning with the Sweet Poison books he followed those up with Big Fat Lies and Toxic Oil. He then focused on education in Free Schools, before returning to the topic of nutrition in Eat Real Food and then the everyday psychopath in Taming Toxic People. Now David turns his attention to another endemic societal threat – the addictive impact of technology on our children.

Village Cinemas Southland confirms their session times each Thursday. Owing to this, movie sessions times will be confirmed on *NEWS*, on the Thursday before the P&F Movie Club is intending to see the movie. TIP: To easily check the confirmed P&F Movie Club from your mobile phone, it is recommended that you download the St Bede’s College App on the homepage and check News.
Please note that the Movie Club intends to hold a movie night no more than twice per term. Unlike the P&F Book Club, the dates and times cannot be confirmed in advance because it depends when the P&F believe they have a worthwhile movie to see.
If you are keen to see the next movie, to join the Movie Club communication, you need to send an email with your name and mobile phone number to: *COMING SOON* Once this is done,you will receive confirmation and you will be included in all P&F Movie Club communication.
The P&F aims to keep the movie screening time as close as possible to the regular set time for all College events, which is 7pm, but very late screening times that start well after 8pm will not be chosen. Please note that the P&F will also try to vary future movie days and screening times to try and accommodate a variety of different needs.
Most movies will be at Village Southland. However, Brighton Bay or Brighton Palace may also be designated.

“Vpremium is a fresh take on cinema offering a dine-in, chill-out vibe for just a few dollars more. It’s the place to catch up with mates. It’s relaxed but high quality. Vpremium steps it up from a traditional movie experience and becomes a place to hang out rather than just see a movie. It’s a little more impressive and makes any movie an occasion while still keeping it casual.
Fully licensed, the Vpremium experience features:
