Katherine High School students ask the question of the Conversation Convoy
Students of Katherine High School had some important questions for the Conversation Convoy crew this morning.
After listening to where the Conversation Convoy has been on its journey thus far and the 4 Steps to navigating a conversation, students shared their voices by asking crew and Ambassadors a number of meaningful questions.
R U OK? Ambassador Big T put on an energetic and interactive performance for the gathered students and teachers, singing and dancing amongst the crowd. Fellow Ambassador Jacob Ridgeway followed with a heartfelt and engaging performance including original music.
Continuing the upbeat start to the morning, Big T and Jacob offered to answer questions from the floor. Numerous students raised their hands wanting to find out more about musical and singing experiences. Others asked heartfelt questions such how to approach opportunities in life and why the ambassadors chose to become voices for R U OK?
Big T and Jacob shared why supporting friends and family was important to them, and how meaningful it can be to have a brother, sister, cousin or elder alongside you when times are good and bad.
headspace representative Zoe Collins took to the stage to let students know of a new centre that is being planned for Katherine. The centre has been designed in conjunction with local youth voices who shared their considerations for the online and drop in service.
Recess was turned yellow with giveaways and 4 Step activations for those who wished to learn more, along with a morning tea to help raise funds for the schools’ formal later in the year.
Special thanks to Principal Dan Murtas, Zoe Collins and the staff, counsellors and nurses of Katherine High School.
The Conversation Convoy continues its journey with next stop: Halls Creek (Western Australia).
