R U OK? Day 2021

On the 9th of September, Thornbury High School’s student leadership committees promoted ‘R U OK Day’ by sending out resources accessible through the daily bulletin and VCE Google Classrooms.

 These resources included, everyday mental health activities, instructional videos for mindful exercise as well as informational sites and helplines. 

The Civics and Citizenship committee worked in collaboration with the THS Wellbeing Team to make a Mental Health Support Services Plan available online to help students start to seek mental health support. 

Students from the Academic Committee created an online Mental Health Padlet available for Thornbury High students and teachers as well as a ‘How to ask ‘R U OK?’ poster. 

The padlet allows Thornbury High Schoolers to anonymously comment or respond to other’s comments and is still open for contribution! (PASSWORD: mentalhealth)
