R U OK Day 

On Thursday, September 11th, we marked Are You OK Day, a reminder to check in on our mates and ask the important question: Are you OK? This years theme being 'I am here to hear'

This year, the college hosted two special events. The first was a student-led presentation, which was shown in each classroom during period 1.

It gave students the chance to share their experiences and raise awareness about mental health and well-being.

The second event was a staff coffee roulette. Those interested could sign up and be randomly matched with another staff member, either someone they knew or someone new, for a coffee and a chat. It was a relaxed way to check in with colleagues and foster a sense of connection. The idea was well received, and it could definitely be something to continue in the future to help staff get to know each other better and be more open to checking in with each other too.
