Today the SCEGGS community comes together to mark R U OK? Day,<\/em> as do many other organisations around Australia. This national day serves as a timely reminder of the significant impact a simple, heartfelt conversation can have.<\/p>\n

Our Year 9 students have taken the lead in organising several activities in the Secondary School today, reminding us all that checking in on those around us is an everyday practice, not just an annual event. Whether chatting on the lawn, walking from class to a co-curricular activity, or catching up during recess, our girls are reflecting on what it truly means to listen without judgment and extend genuine care to one another.<\/p>\n

In addition, I am very proud of some of our Year 12 students, The Ducks, who are completing an Out of the Shadows <\/em>walk on Sunday at Centennial Park to help raise funds for Lifeline. Through connection, compassion and hope, the aim of these walks is for people to unite, reflect and to raise awareness. Go the Ducks!<\/p>\n

We also encourage all families to carry this spirit of open conversation at home. As the national R U OK? Day<\/em> initiative reminds us:<\/p>\n

\n

if someone’s on your mind, trust your instinct and start a conversation. If you’re thinking it, Ask R U OK? Any Day because what people value most is trust, a sense of genuine care, and someone who really listens to them, without judgement.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Thank you to all the staff, student leaders and the broader school community for helping us to create and foster a supportive, inclusive space for all.<\/p>\n
