Wellbeing
“R u okay?” Day. It’s today.
Who have you asked, “R u okay,” today?
R U OK? Day is a national day of action dedicated to reminding everyone that every day is the day to ask, “Are you OK?” and support those struggling with life's ups and downs.
The children and their teachers may have had conversations around “R u okay?” day today. Most children were able to complete the wellbeing survey yesterday, giving us valuable information regarding their learning, wellbeing and friendships during this challenging time of remote learning 6.0. It gives us a snapshot of whether each child is ‘okay’ from their responses but we also rely on information from all of their teachers and parent feedback. We will use this data to guide us as we plan for Term 4, wherever the social and academic learning takes place. Let’s hope it’s here onsite at school, as the children’s survey data tells us!
Thank you to the parents who supported their child/ren to complete this survey.
