Today was an action-packed day with Rutherglen High students participating in Skittles and helping with refreshments in the morning.
In the afternoon, we enjoyed live music - which brought back fond memories of years gone by. To finish the days activities, while others reminised, we spent some individual time playing pinball. Thank-you to all that joined us today in making the day very special! 🤗

Check today for a healthier tomorrow during National Diabetes Week (13-19 July).

Diabetes is the fastest growing chronic condition in Australia, and 125,000 Victorians have undiagnosed diabetes.

If you have a relative with type 1 diabetes, access the Type1Screen program to determine your risk. If you are at risk of type 2 diabetes, use the AUSDRISK tool or a chat with your doctor.

If you live with diabetes, proactive health checks for eyes, feet, blood pressure and kidneys can reduce your risk of long-term complications.

This month is JulEYE

July is National Eye Health Awareness Month, led by The Eye Surgeons’ Foundation, this annual campaign aims to raise awareness of eye health and improve eye health education in Australia.

During this month, we are all encouraged to get a regular eye examination (usually once every two years) like you would any other health check-up, and to take better care of our eyes to prevent vision problems from occurring now and later in life.

Some Everyday eye care tips

Wearing sunglasses – wear sunglasses that meet Australian standards for protection from UVA and UVB rays to protect your eyes from sun damage.

Getting regular eye tests – it is much easier to treat eye conditions if they are diagnosed early.

Eating a healthy diet – having the right nutrients in your diet can decrease your risk of developing vision problems.

Wearing appropriate eye protection – on the job or at home, proper eye protection can prevent serious eye injuries.

Not smoking – the smoking of to***co ci******es is directly linked to age-related macular degeneration and other eye health issues.

June is bowel cancer awareness month.

Bowel cancer claims the lives of 101 Australians every week (5,276 people a year) – but it’s one of the most treatable types of cancer when detected early.

While the risk of bowel cancer increases significantly with age, the disease doesn’t discriminate, affecting people of all ages.
280 Australians will be diagnosed with bowel cancer this week (14,534 people a year).

Today is Red Apple Day - If you’ve ever thought about raising funds and awareness for bowel cancer, then Red Apple Day is the time to do it! Follow the link to make a donation to this important cause.
