❤️ One of those skills you hope you’ll never need, but you’ll always be grateful you learnt.

Today was CPR training, something I now complete every year as part of staying compliant working in preschool.

But CPR training has always meant a little more to me.

Years ago, while I was riding home from university, an Indigenous lady collapsed in front of me, with her head frighteningly close to the main road. A gentleman and I both stopped to help. We moved her into the recovery position while I called 000 and stayed with her until help arrived.

I remember telling Mum afterwards that if she had stopped breathing and I’d needed to perform CPR, I honestly wouldn’t have felt confident knowing what to do.

That Christmas, Mum paid for me to complete my first CPR course. ❤️

All these years later, I’m still refreshing those skills every year.

Today was another reminder that CPR and first aid aren’t just boxes to tick for compliance. Emergencies don’t give you time to go away and learn what to do. Having that knowledge tucked away can mean being able to act when someone needs you most.

And there’s always something new to learn or refresh. Today I learnt that 112 can be used as an emergency number from a satellite phone, something I hadn’t known before.

Hopefully I never have to perform CPR for real, but I’m grateful Mum made sure that after that day, I would never again have to say, “I wouldn’t know what to do.

Well, safe to say the Year 5/6 students LOVED seeing their mural design up on the wall today! 🎨🙌

After all the planning, brainstorming and tracing, today we finally got to start bringing their ideas to life.

It took us the middle and end sessions to paint what we could, and while our black paint unfortunately didn’t arrive, we worked with what we had and made a pretty great start!

What I loved most was watching the students have a go. Some jumped straight in, others needed a little encouragement, but each brushstroke belonged to them and their design. 💜

A big thank you to the staff who stopped by, showed an interest and cheered the kids on. They were SO proud to have people noticing their work and getting excited alongside them.

There’s still plenty more painting to go, but seeing a design that started as an idea slowly take over a whole wall is pretty special.

I’m extremely proud of every student who picked up a paintbrush and had a go today. 🖌️🎨

Watch this space… our mural is officially coming to life! 👀 thank you again to my dear colleague Tori!!

25 years ago today, the world changed forever.

September 11, 2001 began as an ordinary Tuesday morning.

People went to work, boarded planes, kissed their families goodbye and walked out their front doors expecting to come home again.

2,977 people never did.

Within 102 minutes, both Twin Towers had fallen. The Pentagon had been attacked. Flight 93 had crashed into a Pennsylvania field after passengers and crew fought back.

But amongst unimaginable horror, the world also witnessed extraordinary courage.

While thousands were desperately trying to escape, firefighters, police officers and paramedics were running towards the danger.

Strangers helped strangers. Ordinary people became heroes.

And the loss didn’t end that day. In the 25 years since, thousands more first responders, recovery workers and others exposed to the aftermath have died from 9/11-related illnesses.

Perhaps the most sobering part of reaching 25 years is knowing an entire generation now knows September 11 only as history.

But behind every photograph, every name engraved at the memorial and every number we quote was a person whose story should have continued.

A parent. A child. A partner. A friend. A colleague.

25 years later, we remember the lives lost, the heroes who ran towards danger and the families who have carried their absence ever since.

May the names never become merely numbers, and may their stories continue to be told by generations who weren’t yet here to witness that day.

September 11, 2001. 🕊️
25 years. Never forgotten.

R U OK?

Three little words.

But sometimes the person who needs to hear them most is the person you would least expect.

Because struggling doesn’t always look like falling apart.

Sometimes it looks like the teacher who walks into the classroom smiling, greets every child, manages behaviours, comforts tears, answers emails, completes the paperwork, supports families and keeps giving pieces of themselves away all day… before going home carrying everything that still needs to be done.

Sometimes it looks like the parent who packs the lunches, pays the bills, remembers the appointments, cooks dinner, washes the clothes, settles the children and keeps the wheels of family life turning while quietly wondering when they last had a moment to themselves.

Sometimes it’s the person posting photos, going to work, laughing with friends, answering “good thanks” when somebody asks how they are and continuing with life exactly as expected.

Because life can be heavy without looking heavy.

There can be work pressure.

Financial pressure.

Parenting.

Relationships.

Grief.

Health.

Expectations.

Mental load.

And sometimes just the exhaustion that comes from being the person everyone else seems to need something from.

Today is R U OK? Day, but perhaps the most important part of its message is that we shouldn’t need a particular day to ask.

This year’s message is:

Ask R U OK? Any Day. 💛

And I think there’s something powerful in that.

Don’t only ask the person who looks like they’re struggling.

Ask the strong friend.

Ask the teacher who always seems to have everything handled.

Ask the parent who is constantly looking after everybody else.

Ask the colleague who has gone a little quieter.

Ask the person who says, “I’m just tired.”

And when you ask, be willing to hear an answer other than “I’m fine.”

You don’t have to fix everything for them.

Sometimes people don’t need solutions.

They need someone who notices.

Someone who sits beside them.

Someone who listens without judgement.

Someone who remembers to check in again tomorrow, next week or when the yellow R U OK? posters have disappeared for another year.

Because according to R U OK?’s 2026 research, 9 in 10 people who were asked “Are you OK?” said they felt grateful, cared about and supported.

That’s a pretty incredible impact for three little words.

So today, check on your people.

And maybe check on yourself too.

Are you really OK? 💛

Because behind every role we carry, teacher, parent, partner, friend, colleague, daughter, son, there is still a human being carrying a load that others might never see.

You don’t have to wait until somebody is falling apart to remind them they don’t have to carry it alone. 💛
