Our students and staff gathered in yellow for R U OK day, as we did our last Danjoo assembly for Term 3
We gave out little notes of appreciation, certificates for students who participated in the Prime Minister’s Spelling Bee as well as Literacy Awards and were delighted by wonderful performances by our student who attend Music Rocks Australia.
For the rest of the day, we attempted following the four steps in starting a conversation that could change a life, which includes asking a friend ‘R U OK?’, followed by listening, encourage in taking an action to the conversation, and checking in with our friends every now and then. We also gave out cupcakes to our students who participate in asking their friends ‘R U OK?’ and following the steps
This year’s specific message is “Ask R U OK any day”, reminding us that we do not need a specific day to check in with someone we love, and that if we notice a change in someone, we can always endeavour to be a good friend and great listening to them.
