\"\"<\/a>On Thursday 14 September, our school community celebrated <\/span>R U OK? Day.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

R U OK? Day is the national day of action dedicated to encouraging people to stay connected and have conversations that can help others through difficult times in their lives. The day is a reminder to everyone that <\/span>any day<\/b> is the day to ask \u201care you ok?\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

During recess, students wrote notes of encouragement to their MSCW sisters, chatted to members of the Wellbeing Team and ate delicious cupcakes. A big thank you to TAS Teacher Ms Erin Healey for baking the very popular cupcakes.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Community Time, the focus was on how we can invest more time in our personal relationships, build the capacity of informal support networks \u2013 friends, family and colleagues – and ways to have a conversation if we identify signs of distress or difficulty and connect that person to appropriate support, long before they are in crisis.<\/span><\/p>\n\n

If you or someone you know needs support, contact your local doctor or one of the below crisis lines, available 24\/7:<\/span><\/p>\n

Lifeline <\/b>(13 11 14; lifeline.org.au) – Crisis support and suicide prevention services. Text support is also available on 0477 13 11 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

Beyond Blue<\/b> (1300 224 636; beyondblue.org.au) – Advice, referral and support from a trained mental health professional.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kids Helpline<\/b> (1800 55 1800; kidshelpline.com.au) – Free and confidential phone and online counselling service for young people aged 5-25.<\/span><\/p>\n
