R U OK? Day

At King’s, we recognise that a healthy mindset is just as important as a healthy body, and we have a dedicated Wellbeing team who help support our students through life’s ups and downs. We took part in the R U OK? national campaign last week to remind our community that every day is a good day to check in with a friend. Being intuitive to the needs of others is an important life skill, and one that we want our students and staff to be good at. Throughout the week, our Wellbeing team and Chaplains ran a number of activities to foster better communication among students, reminding them to be intentional with asking their peers “R U [really] OK?” (visit ruok.org.au) Let’s all take a moment today to ask someone we care about ‘Are you OK?’ Starting this conversation with a friend could change their life.
