- Year 12 held a Bake Sale to raise funds for headspace which is such an important mental health support service for our region. The Bake Sale was on Thursday to support R U Okay? Day whose origins stems from a vision for Australians to work together to protect people from suicide. R U Okay Day aims to inspire and empower everyone to meaningfully connect with people around them and support anyone struggling with life. Asking R U OK? is such a simple question but one that may save or change a life- so thank you to those who bought some spare cash and purchased some delicious baked goods to support Year 12 in their efforts to lend a hand to headspace.
- Also fundraising for headspace, as part of the GET SET mentoring program, is the dynamic Year 9 duo Georgia Sink Crow and Molly Donoghue who wish to run a Krispy Kreme fundraiser so please get your order forms from the library and front office to get behind supporting mental health awareness and wellbeing in the most delicious way.
