R U OK Day
The theme for R U OK Day on Thursday 14 September, is “I’m here to hear”. This day is our National Day of Action, when we are encouraged to ask, ‘are you OK?’ We ask our staff, students, and families, to take the time to let those we care about know we are here to really hear them.
By taking the time for an R U OK? Conversation and genuinely listening with an open mind, we can all help the people in our world feel supported and connected.
