Some days are harder than others. You don’t have to work through them alone.

Open Arms provides free and confidential counselling and support to veterans and families.

Whether something has been building for a while, or you just feel like it might help to talk, support is available.

And if someone you know might be struggling, consider checking in and letting them know support is available too. Sometimes simply sharing where they can turn for help can make a difference.

You can reach out when you’re ready.

A strong community starts with connection, and sometimes all it takes is a cup of coffee! ☕😊

With RAAF Base Amberley just down the road, Defence families are an important part of our Ripley Valley State Secondary College community!

Our Defence Coffee & Chat brings together RVSSC families of current and ex-serving Australian Defence Force members for a relaxed morning of conversation, connection and support.

It's a chance to meet other families, share experiences and support one another through the unique challenges of Defence life, including postings and deployments.

Hosted by our Defence School Mentor, Leslee Duggan, we'll also welcome special guest Nikki, DMFS Family Liaison Officer, who will share information about local community groups, events and support services.

📅 Thursday 5 November 2026
🕘 9:00 am – 10:30 am
📍 Cafe Providence, 6 Amity Way, South Ripley

💙 Whether you're new to our College or a familiar face, we'd love to see you there!

When Noelle's husband Thomas passed away in 2003, she was left to grieve and face an uncertain future. A Legacy caseworker invited her to join our Younger Widows Support Group, where she found the friendship and support she needed to rebuild her life.

She said she is "totally indebted" to Legacy for the support she has received.

In 2010, Noelle became a Legatee herself and has since helped dozens of other widows find their feet, the same way she once did.

Your donation this Remembrance Day can help more widows like Noelle rebuild 💙

If you’ve ever attended an ANZAC Day or Remembrance Day service, you'll have heard The Ode of Remembrance. Often referred to simply as The Ode – it’s the third and fourth stanzas of Laurence Binyon’s poem, For the Fallen. Binyon wrote it after the outbreak of World War I, in response to the heavy casualties suffered on the Western Front.

The Ode has been read at commemorative services in Australia since 1921, expressing the nation’s respect for service people.
