An evening with Barbara Arrowsmith-Young
Changing Brains, Exploring a New Reality Neuroplasticity and Learning for students.
Students, especially those with learning differences like dyslexia, attention deficit issues and auditory processing difficulties benefit greatly from this programme, available at Marsden School.
Barbara Arrowsmith-Young is the founder of the 'Arrowsmith Program', a cognitive training programme which uses exercises to stimulate areas of the brain responsible for skills such as reading, writing, listening, processing, coordination, logical thinking and social awareness. Hear about this innovative educational approach from its founder and learn about the latest research into neuroplasticity.
Hear Barbara speak at Samuel Marsden Collegiate School, Marsden Ave, Karori, 25 Feb 2020, 7pm - 8:30pm, followed by book signing. Please RSVP below.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
