Getting involved in R U OK? at School
R U OK? at School was developed by students, for students.

With support from ReachOut.com, 14 teenagers from around Australia created the R U OK? at School program and hope it will be used in all school environments and encourage students to regularly ask their friends "R U OK?"

All students are encouraged to get involved by registering their school and downloading the resources to share with their class.

Participate in our student design competition

R U OK? is inviting all Australian school and university students to submit designs for R U OK? postcards and help us bring back the lost art of letter writing.

The top 3 designs will be used on postcards and will remind people to write to a friend, family member or anyone special in their life on R U OK?Day. The student who creates the winning design will also be invited to an R U OK? event and their school will be sent an R U OK? pack to help their friends celebrate on R U OK?Day on September 13, 2012.

All you need to do is use black on white paper and demonstrate where our speech bubble logo will go. All designs should be sent to hello@ruokday.com.au or to 8 Boronia Street Redfern NSW 2016 by April 30, 2012.

The winner will be announced in the lead up to next year's R U OK?Day.
