Students attended along with their teacher Patricia and our RTO training and compliance manager, Sue. Below is a story one of our students has written about her experience:... Adau BIAR On Tuesday we went to the Werribee Zoo. We arrived in class at 9.00am. We went on the school bus, we left school Sue drove us to the zoo. We arrived in the zoo at 10.00am. Sue parked the bus in the car park. We walked to the reception to buy the tickets. If you have concession you paid $25. If you do not have concession you paid $33. After that we went to the safari station, we went on a safari bus. The bus driver drove us around the zoo. We saw dromedaries, deer, rhinoceros, giraffe, lions, snake, zebra, gorillas, hippopotamus, monkeys and lizards. We had lunch. Hoa made the lunch for us. After lunch we went back to walk around. I was tired. We went back to the MRC, I fell asleep on the bus. All of us enjoyed the zoo. We would like to go back to the zoo again.

04.01.2022 RUOK is an important initiative that aims as a suicide prevention charity to start life-changing conversations. It is important to create a more connected world, so if you have a feeling that someone you know or care about is not behaving as they normally would, trust that gut instinct and act on it. By starting a conversation and commenting on the changes youve noticed, you could help that family member, friend or workmate open up. At least that way that person will know youre someone who cares enough to ask.
