Gilroy Catholic College Embraces RUOK? Day with Compassion and Connection Yesterday, Gilroy Catholic College wholeheartedly embraced RUOK? Day, with both staff and students actively participating in this vital mental health initiative. The campus was alive with meaningful conversations as the community united to promote well-being and encourage open, supportive dialogue. The day began with a comforting Milk and Milo station, bringing warmth and smiles to the morning. Our dedicated school leaders welcomed peers at the gates, offering friendly greetings and small tokens of support — including stickers, wristbands, and yellow ribbons — setting a positive tone for the day ahead. Throughout the day, interactive discussions unfolded across the playground, creating safe spaces for students to share, listen, and connect. These open conversations reminded everyone of the strength found in simply asking, “Are you OK?” Adding a light-hearted touch, a Lolly Jar Guessing competition sparked excitement and the yellow items/clothing worn by students and staff amplified the spirit of unity and the powerful message of RUOK? Day — that reaching out can truly make a difference. The event was a meaningful reminder of the impact of community, compassion, and genuine conversation. #RUOK?Day #mentalhealthsupport #CSPD
