BHNPS Unplugged

A BHNPS school and home partnership to encourage delaying and minimising the use of smart devices at home for the purpose of improving the mental health and wellbeing of our students.

Working together.

An endorsement from the Principal

At Baulkham Hills North Public School, we are committed to supporting families as they guide their children through the challenges and opportunities of growing up in a digital world. As technology becomes a bigger part of how children learn, play, and connect, it’s more important than ever to help them build healthy habits.

Our goal is to work together to delay and minimise the use of smart devices at home. This is a bold whole-school initiative, encouraging our community to engage in activities both individually and as a family that nourish their minds and bodies.

We all have a critically important role to play in supporting our children to live responsible, safe and healthy lives as they grow up in the digital world. Please take some time to use the wonderful resources on offer on this page.
