Wellbeing and Engagement

On Thursday the 10th of September we celebrated R U OK? Day at school. The students were encouraged to wear a touch of yellow to show their support and help raise awareness of the importance of checking in with others.

R U OK? Day is a special day that reminds us to check in with our friends and ask, “Are you okay?” It encourages us to be kind, listen to others and let the people around us know that we care. In our classrooms, we took part in some fun activities focused on kindness. We explored what it means to “be kind on purpose” and talked about the different ways we can show kindness and care towards our friends.

Our staff also took some time to sit down together over a lovely morning tea, check in with one another and enjoy some yummy yellow treats. We hope everyone in our school community had a lovely R U OK? Day and took a little time to check in with someone special. Remember, a simple “Are you okay?” can make a big difference!
