Deputy Principal, Wellbeing 

Thursday 9 September is R U OK Day. More than ever it is vital we are checking in on each other as we navigate our way through a seventh lockdown. 

THIS YEAR THE MESSAGE IS:

Are they really OK? Ask them today.

Do you know how the people in your world are really going?

The RU OK website has some wonderful links to guide you through difficult conversations with a family member, friend or colleague. How to ask "Are you OK?" | R U OK?

There are also links to some great webinars.

Though each of our remote learning periods, we have consistently asked our students to keep checking in on each other and to keep connected. It has been encouraging to hear the creative ways our students are maintaining connection. Bike rides, walking together, group chats and Team messages have all been important. Can I encourage all parents to please let us know if you are concerned about the wellbeing of your son and daughter through this challenging period.
