On Thursday, Clonard College came together to mark RUOK? Day 2025, a national initiative that reminds us all of the importance of looking out for one another and starting conversations that can make a real difference.

At lunchtime, the Year 12 VCE VM class hosted a vibrant celebration filled with activities designed to bring students together and spark positive connections. From a sausage sizzle to the ever-popular yellow donuts, the event created a welcoming atmosphere where students could relax, share a laugh, and enjoy each other’s company.

Beyond the fun, the day carried a powerful message: that a simple “RUOK?” can have a significant impact on someone’s wellbeing. Students were encouraged to take the time to check in with friends, peers, and family members—not just on RUOK? Day, but ANY day.

The success of the day was a credit to the energy and leadership of the Year 12 VCE VM class of 2025, who organised and hosted the event with enthusiasm and care. Their efforts not only raised awareness of an important cause but also reinforced the strength of our Clonard community.
