His main advice was ‘do something you love, on average, someone will work for 50 years before retirement, so do something you enjoy and love.’
ESC principal Bill Mann said the day was a huge success.
‘Young people are often looking for information about a range of issues that they have to deal with on a daily basis,’ he said.
‘Our R UOK? Day gathered together many of those organisations and groups that provide this important information, and it was terrific to see so many students take advantage of this opportunity.’
ESC community health nurse Joanne Gorey echoed Mr Mann’s view and said students and the community were made aware of the resources available to help them.
‘We had well over a thousand people come, including representatives from other schools and community members,’ she said.
‘A significant number of students sought out the services of the presenters for themselves their friends or family.’
