πŸ’›πŸ’›RUOK DayπŸ’›πŸ’› is a meaningful occasion when we come together as a community to support one another and promote mental well-being among our students and staff. Students were invited to wear a yellow item with their college uniform to show their support, and we had planned several activities throughout the day to make it a success and ensure our students have a memorable experience. We believe that RUOK Day provides an excellent opportunity for our students to learn about the importance of asking a simple question, "Are you okay?" It's a chance to raise awareness about mental health and remind our school community that they are not alone and that there is always someone they can turn to for support. #bettertogether #teamgilroy #teamgilroy #bettertogether

Jersey Day 1st of September As a college, we celebrate Jersey Day to begin the conversation with our families and friends about the importance of becoming an organ and tissue donor. Jersey Day was inspired by the gift of life that Nathan Gremmo gave to six people when he became an organ donor at age 13. On this day, students are invited to wear their favourite jersey over their full school uniform. #bettertogether #teamgilroy
