Right now, it’s harder than ever for us all mentally to engage with each other, and some are f...inding the physical and mental isolation a real challenge. R U OK day is a good reminder to check- in on our mates, family and friends, and ask R U OK? Learn the Key Word Signs to ask ‘R U OK?’ so that you can talk to people who use #KeyWordSign to communicate. #Scopeaust For more resources visit https://www.ruok.org.au/ You can download the PDF version of the poster from our website: https://kwsa.com.au/r-u-ok-day/

06.01.2022 Dear Parents and Carers, I've shared the information from GSSC below for your information and our thoughts are with them all. Obviously this will cause concern for many in our school community who also have children at the Wanganui Campus. They will provide additional information as it becomes available. Due to this, at Verney Road, there will be some staff away tomorrow which will impact on our classes and programs.... Let me also remind you that although our school is open, parents may choose to keep their child at home if they wish. Obviously, anyone with direct contact with someone who has been diagnosed with Covid 19 should self isolate and follow DHHS advice. Can I please remind you that any child who is unwell with symptoms such as a cold, sore throat, runny nose, cough or a temperature should NOT come to school. Keeping everyone as safe as possible is incredibly important for our school community and this is why we are being extra cautious. Stay safe Ange

Every weekday morning we put the Australian & the Aboriginal flags up, and take them down every afternoon. We take them down at night because they can’t stay up in the dark and we don’t have a light on them.... I am the flag supervisor and I am currently teaching Nathanial how to put the flags up and down." by Natalie Hughes, Year 11 student
