R U OK Day
There was a sea of yellow shirts at St Joseph's School on Thursday 10 September, as students, teachers and staff took part in the National Day of Action, R U OK Day?
This day is dedicated to reminding everyone that every day is the day to ask, “Are you OK?” and to support those struggling with life's ups and downs. This day is also an opportunity for family, friends and workmates to connect, start a conversation and make a promise to be there for each other more often.
This year's message is 'There's more to say after R U OK?'
Each year, St Joseph's School participates in the nation-wide event, aiming to inspire our students to be the generation that transforms the way we look out for anyone struggling with life.
Students were encouraged to wear or accessorise with yellow items and a whole school sausage sizzle was held. Students also participated in classroom activities aimed to educate students about the very real and difficult topic that is not normally discussed in the classroom.
