๐ RU OK? Day 2025 ๐ Today our school community came together to reflect, connect and grow ๐ฑ. We engaged in a range of activities, learning the important messages of RU OK? Day ๐ฌ๐. Through the parable of the mustard seed, students explored how something small can grow into something big โ just like asking โAre you OK?โ can plant seeds of hope, comfort and connection ๐ฟโจ. Students threw words of kindness ๐, became listening legends ๐โญ, and reminded us that even small actions can make a big difference. We then shared a beautiful family picnic lunch ๐งบ๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ before spending the afternoon writing colourful chalk messages of kindness around our school ๐๏ธ๐. ๐ A huge thank you to our staff, families, and students for creating such a special day of care and community.
