This year as part of our school initiatives we are excited to announce that we will be taking part in obtaining our school’s first Amber Flag.

The Pieta Amber Flag Initiative recognises the individual efforts of primary and secondary schools, further education and training centres, youth reach and third-level Institutions. It also acknowledges the efforts of organisations and clubs to create healthy, inclusive environments that support mental wellbeing.

In our school, wellbeing means looking after our minds and our bodies so we can feel happy, safe, and ready to learn.

Student wellbeing is supported through different subjects like SPHE, Arts, and PE with a focus on

• Sharing our feelings,
• Making friends and working together,
• Getting creative and having fun,
• Staying active and healthy.

Engaging in activities that promote the above, will support our journey to earn our Amber Flag.
