End of Term
We are in the final stretch of this term with just over a week to go. Now is a good time to look back and take the time to reflect on how this last term went. What went well, what not so well and what may you need some help in! By reflecting we can be proud of what we have achieved or accomplished and it also lets us see where we may just need to adjust or where we may need some extra support. We hope everyone gets some time these holidays to rest and unwind ready to tackle the final term of 2023.

R U Ok? Day 14th September
This year unfortunately due to this day falling on the second last day of term we won’t be able to celebrate it as we have on previous years! However, on Friday 15th it will be Footy Colours Day for the last day of term so if you want to celebrate R U Ok? Day then you are welcome to wear yellow on that day!
R U Ok? Day is our National Day of Action when we remind Australian’s that every day is the day to ask ‘are you OK? And start a meaningful conversation whenever they spot the signs that someone they care about might be struggling with life! R U OK? Is calling on all of us to let people you care about know you’re here, to really hear them!
By taking the time for an R U OK? Conversation and genuinely listening with an open mind, we can all help the people in our world feel supported and connected. Let the people in your world know you’re here, to really hear, because a conversation can change a life!
