If you’re in Northam, keep an eye out for a new blue tree on Fitzgerald Street. Created by St John Academy team members, the mural was inspired by the Blue Tree Project and is designed to start conversations about mental health in the community. It’s the final project of their first year in the Academy — and a reminder of what young people can do when they’re supported to lead locally.
Our hearts go out to everyone affected by the tragic incident in Bondi. It’s common to experience distress after a serious or traumatic event.

You can contact Lifeline on 13 11 14 or text 0477 13 11 14. Information and support resources are available for people affected by emergencies in our Support Guide: https://brnw.ch/21wYm2V
