R U OK? DAY
In support of R U OK? Day; please come dressed in yellow (or anything bright/happy) on Thursday 8th September. (Week 9)
R U OK? is a harm prevention charity that encourages people to stay connected and have conversations that can help others through difficult times in their lives.
Their work focuses on building the motivation, confidence and skills of the help-giver – the person who can have a meaningful conversation with someone who is struggling with life.
R U OK? contributes to suicide prevention efforts by encouraging people to invest more time in their personal relationships and building the capacity of informal support networks - friends, family and colleagues - to be alert to those around them, have a conversation if they identify signs of distress or difficulty and connect someone to appropriate support, long before they're in crisis.
Adopt-a-cop
Did you know that RNSS has an Adopt-a-Cop?
His name is Rob & sometimes he pops into the school to say hey!
The Adopt-a-Cop initiative is designed to build positive relationships between police and members of the school community. The program is an integral part of policing and reflects a greater emphasis on police partnerships with the community.
For more information about the Adopt-a-Cop program, you can visit: https://www.police.qld.gov.au/.../%E2%80%8B%E2%80%8Badopt....

NDIS
If you haven't already, please contact the NDIA and register your child for the NDIS. The purpose of the NDIS is to provide Australians who have permanent and significant disability with funding for support services. Children can be registered for this once they reach 7 years of age.
This is essential for all students when they enter senior secondary as it is used to assist them to access services such as paid employment.
