💛 R U OK? Day – Thursday 10 September

R U OK? Day is a special day that reminds us that asking “Are you OK?” can make a big difference.

At school we are encouraged to look out for one another, notice when someone might not be feeling their best and take the time to check in with our friends. Sometimes, a simple conversation can help someone feel supported, cared for and less alone.

This R U OK? Day, we can remember four simple steps:

👀 Ask: “Are you OK?”

 Listen: Give them your attention and really listen.

💛 Encourage: Help them think about what might make things better or who they could talk to.

🔄 Check in: Remember to check back in with them later.

Remember, you don't have to solve someone's problems. Being a good friend, listening and helping someone connect with a trusted adult is a wonderful way to show you care.
