R U OK? Day

R U OK? Day September 12th

Thursday, 12th September is R U OK? Day 2019. It’s a national day of action, dedicated to inspiring all people of all backgrounds to regularly ask each other “Are you OK?” R U OK? is a national charity which works to inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with people around them.                                                                                                                                             

Signs that a friend may not be OK is the focus. We need to encourage our students to listen to what a friend is saying, let them know they care and talk about trusted adults they can talk to. We’re never too young to look out for one another and we want to continue to recognise and celebrate positive peer behaviour in the classroom and out in the yard. 

We, at IPS will also be recognising this day with a range of activities and by wearing ‘a splash’ of yellow on THURSDAYin the name of BEING A GOOD FRIEND
