Amber Flag Award

Our school values the uniqueness of each and every child. We understand that in the current busy, modern and fast paced world that we live in that children's mental health and wellbeing must be nurtured. This year the school undertook some initiatives to ensure that the wellbeing needs of the children were being met. 

Some of these initiatives included:

• Growth Mindset Lessons - these were provided to the children by Sharon Fenelly. 
• Yoga - After School Yoga sessions were available for all children to participate in.
• Mindfulness Meditation - Every Tuesday and Thursday all classes took part in meditation for 10 minutes.
• Family Friendly Wednesday - Homework on Wednesdays is to engage in a simple family activity at home in order to promote healthy and happy families.​

The School Students Council, under the co-ordination of Ms. Higgins, applied for the Amber Flag. They fundraised by involving the whole school in a sponsored Golden Silence. All money collected was donated to Pieta House. The School was awarded the Amber Flag and are delighted to be moving forward with this successful initiative during the coming year.
