Local Schools Ask R U OK?

Last week schools across the region marked R U OK Day with various activities taking place to keep all that attended entertained.

From painting rocks to writing notes Ayr State High School and Burdekin Christian College, started conversations that could potentially save lives.

R U OK Day encourages people to have conversations with others, and aims to inspire everyone to connect with people around them, start a conversation and ask “Are you okay?”

It’s important to check in with people you know but equally as important to spark conversation with strangers, you may even save someone’s life.
