Australia has officially begun enforcing its sweeping ban removing under-16s from social media. But despite government optimism, most children say they won’t log off. As teens share workarounds and flock to lesser-regulated corners of the internet, the ban has sparked a global conversation about online safety, digital maturity, and whether age limits alone can protect young people.
The Department of Psychology at St. Xavier’s College marked Mental Health Day on October 9, 2025, with a vibrant and inclusive celebration under the theme ‘Pathway to Support: Because Every Mind Matters.’ The event combined awareness, creativity, and connection, empowering students to prioritize emotional well-being through engaging performances, interactive activities, and thoughtful conversations.
