Hi everyone! So wonderful to metaphorically see you all :P A bit of a boring post to mark my spectacular return to the forums, it's a tech question; I've been using my school email to receive messages from RO for the last three years, but I finish school in a couple of weeks (*minor panic*) so I won't have access to it anymore. How do I change it so that RO uses my personal email address instead? (I had a bit of a look in the settings but couldn't find it. It's probably right under my nose :P) Thanks! ... View more

So I start year 12 tomorrow. I'm pretty excited about my subjects and seeing my friends again and resuming an active role in the school community, but I'm also a little bit nervous (not least because I have a pile of homework the size of Tasmania that I haven't yet finished.......)   I know a lot of you have finished school, and was wondering if you had any advice for this years year twelves :) ...

firstly HI EVERYONE I'M BACK IT'S ME I MISSED YOU HOW HAVE YOU BEEN   Yeah i took a little break from RO but I'm very excited to be back and return to being an active member of this awesome community :) I am also hyped to resume my volunteering role as a bob...   (please appreciate that seamless segway)   I know a bunch of you guys are volunteers in one way or another (have a high five you legends) and I was wondering if you could tell me a little bit about your experiences volunteering, how you found your positions, and what you get out of it. I'm thinking about volunteering this year but I'm not really sure how to go about it or how to find a role that I'm passionate about, especially in a relatively small regional area.   Thanks everyone :) Happy Friday! ...

Hi everyone :)   So I don't know the specifics but I don't think that's really important. What I do know is that someone in my music class is having to stay at a mates place because for whatever reason it's not safe for them at home. He speaks about not having any money, not having eaten all day, and that kind of thing. I offered him some muesli bars and stuff last time he spoke about this but he refused and I was too awkward to force them upon him. He's a really lovely guy and I really want to help him through this in whatever way I can. How can I do that? Been thinking about messaging him but I don't really know what to say. Advice appreciated :) ... View more

There's nothing more terrifying than waking up one day to discover you're no longer a child, and that you suddenly have strange adult things like responsibilities. (Okay maybe giant spiders are more terrifying, but you get my point). If you, like me, are having major and/or minor crisis about your age, approaching adulthood, being an adult, and all the ups and downs of getting older, then this is the chat for you!   Come and join us for a chat about growing up, starting on  Monday 20th August  with a  new question each day ! ...
