RUOK Day, 9 September, is a reminder for us all to check in regularly with family, friends and colleagues. 

In the short video below, Julie Buick, an LSO at Kolbe Catholic College, and the Victorian finalist in the 2021 Australian Teacher Aide of the Year awards, talks about how she has kept her team connected and cared for, despite the pressures of lockdown.

The past 18 months have been particularly challenging for educators, especially for those of you in repeated lockdowns who are working with students remotely, and isolated from loved ones.  We hope Julie will inspire you to stay connected with your colleagues, too.
