National Student Art Competition - RU OK?

 

Entry period extended until 31 July

Art has the power to start conversations that count. That's why we're calling on year 7 and 8 students across Australia to create an artwork that responds to the question:

What does an R U OK? conversation mean to you? 

Students are encouraged to respond to the brief in any way they like. It could: 

• Explore a time when a friend was there for you, or when you were there for them.
• Represent how a meaningful conversation makes you feel.
• Encourage others to check in with their mates.
• Provide ideas of how to support someone you care about.

RU OK? A Conversation Can Change A Life

 A simple check with a 'mat' and/or friend or even family, is all it's needed., to see if someone needs help or feels sad. 

I really think that if we take that important time out to ask this simple question, it makes listening to people sound slightly important. Some people may decide to open up and ask for that important help. Leaving a conversation may change a life.

I remember the Sanctuary Point Shops were posted with RU OK, everywhere,  promoted by Firefly. The message is even when across other shops within the Basin. I remember on behalf of the Sanctuary Point Community Inc., the Barbeque we provided in front of Sanctuary Point IGA, last year.

So, celebrate RU OK, with a Yellow Shirt today and ask others 'RU OK?
