I narrowed my search to Years 11 & 12, and the Wellbeing tab caught my eye, as it’s an ongoing focus for Tasmanian government schools.
The lesson plan and resources for “Can Media be Addictive?” is designed to get students thinking about their phone ‘addiction’; the resources are really good and pitched well for senior secondary.
I could see a place for this lesson (and others) as an opt-in activity for Home Group (which is once a week, for an hour and a half). I would probably have to rewrite the instructions and tweak them a bit (but keep the attribution!) only because you can’t teach someone else’s lesson, you have to do the thinking yourself or it doesn’t work.
