R U OK? Day

Thursday 9 of September 2021, Calliope State School acknowledges the importance of checking in on the mental health of others through national ‘R U OK?’ Day.

Although important every year, 2020 & 2021 has recently been the most challenging years for everyone and these circumstances have made it even more important for us all to stay connected. 

‘R U OK?’ day spreads awareness about the importance of not only asking others if they are okay, but listening to what they have to say, encouraging them to take action and continually checking in with them.  

The message for 2021 is ‘There’s more to say after R U ok?’. To celebrate this year’s theme, Calliope State School will be delivering R U OK! wrist bands to each classroom for every student to wear. Students are encouraged to wear YELLOW for the day and join in with the fun activities organised on the oval at first break.

On recognition of R U Ok! Day we will be offering students the opportunity to participate in a free sausage sizzle as part of Breaky club.
