2024 R U OK? Day

12 Sep 2024

2024 R U OK? Day

RU OK? is about valuing the importance of mental health and wellbeing, and recognising that people can struggle but supportive conversations from our friends and family can make a meaningful difference. WHSPA is proud to promote this message on RU OK? Day. This year's celebration involved SRC-led activities which encouraged students to engage and connect with each other, stalls promoting local wellbeing services and the hero of the day was most definitely the petting zoo with a llama, goats, bunnies, a pig, a calf, guinea pigs and ducks. The zoo was a perfect example of the therapeutic value of bonding with animals, and the students and teachers alike had lots of fun.

Wollongong High School of the Performing Arts acknowledge the Wadi Wadi people of the Dharawal Nation, who are the Traditional Owners of the land on which we meet. We acknowledge the Elders, past, present and future, of this land as well as Elders of the wider Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. These Elders hold the traditions, the dreams, the hopes and the culture that has been kept alive for thousands of years. Our school lies between the sacred site of Mt Geera and the five islands which are significant figures in Dharawal dreaming stories. These stories pass on the traditions, practices and customs that have sustained the oldest living culture in the world to this day. In between the mountains and the sea we meet together in harmony and stand firm in the reminder that this land is, was, and always will be traditional Aboriginal land.
