22.01.2022 Today is R U OK Day which is about more than one question. It’s about checking in with someone more than once a year. It’s about being prepared when someone says no, I’m not okay.... It’s about looking for the signs that someone might not be okay. It’s about checking in after that initial conversation. And it’s about checking in with yourself and making sure you’re okay too. Let’s normalise these conversations 365 days of the year, not just 1. Post accessed from the Department for Education Facebook page. Learn what to say at www.ruok.org.au/how-to-ask #TheresMoreToSay #RUOKDay #RUOK

Students are reminded to bring a named water bottle to school and a blue school approved hat as the weather warms up.

Looking forward to a fabulous Term 4 :)
