R U Ok? Day

On听Thursday, 11 September, the College came together to celebrate听R U OK? Day鈥攁 national event dedicated to promoting mental health awareness and encouraging meaningful conversations.

This year鈥檚 theme, 鈥淎sk R U OK? Any Day鈥擝ecause Life Happens Every Day,鈥� reminded us that checking in with others should not be limited to one day. It is about making space for genuine conversations and letting those we care about know we鈥檙e here to really hear them.

The day was led by our Leaders of Wellbeing and Wellbeing Captains Jasmin Afflick and Leyla Do. Bright yellow lollipops, ribbons, and wristbands were shared to lift spirits and encourage connection.

To support meaningful conversations, we encouraged everyone to follow these four steps:

R U OK? Day serves as a powerful reminder that mental wellbeing is a shared responsibility. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped make the day a success. Let鈥檚 continue to support one another and make wellbeing a priority鈥攅very day.

If you or someone you know is feeling distressed or struggling with their wellbeing, it is important to reach out for support.

Year 12 Legacy Project 鈥� Do It For Cancer

Throughout 2025, our Student Leadership Team has been reflecting on the legacy they want to leave as a graduating year. They wanted it to be something purposeful, something that could bring the 秀秀直播 community together and also make a difference to the lives of people outside of school.

After a series of workshops and collaborative conversations, the team chose to support the Cancer Council鈥檚 Do It For Cancer campaign. This Australia-wide initiative empowers individuals and groups to take on personal challenges鈥攕uch as shaving their heads or completing physical feats鈥攖o raise funds for cancer research, prevention, and support services. It is a cause that resonates deeply with many in our community, touching the lives of students, families, and staff alike.

Over 60 Year 12 students courageously committed to the challenge, either by shaving their heads or taking on a physical challenge, all in the name of raising awareness, funds, and hope. On Wednesday 10 September, the College came together for the Greatest Shave event, a celebration of compassion and community spirit.

We are proud to share that the听Class of 2025 have raised over $56,000.听

Donations are still being accepted until the end of term.听To support the Class of 2025 you can head to their fundraising page via the link. .

Thank you to 秀秀直播 Community for supporting our Year 12 students.
