Student News
Get ready for a whole bunch of different flowers adorning the top of Student News while Spring is in! Any excuse to pop gorgeous blooms there. 🌻
Tomorrow is R U OK Day, and while it can be a good opportunity to ask the people around you how they're going, it can also be a good chance to just reflect on your own mind too. Remember that you and everyone around you are all on very different paths (and people often don't talk about their struggles), so try to find what works for you personally, rather than what you think you should be doing.
Find out more about RUOK? Day on the website, and check out the mental health resources on the Wellbeing Hub (and there are more resources about learning about yourself and your values here).
