Our Amber Flag is awarded by Pieta House. The flag is awarded for raising awareness around mental health in our school community and finding ways to promote and learn about the five simple things we can do to support our pupils and staff’s mental health. Connect, Learn, be Active, take Notice and Give back are all ways in which we maintain our mental health every day.
Our Amber Flag committee have worked with Jigsaw, Mental Health Ireland, Special Olympics Ireland, Our Local Nursing home and we are currently working with BelongTo to find ways to priories mental health in our school.
The Committee have organised sponsored walks, Bake Sales and Make sales, whole school discos and Grandparents days to support connection, giving back and being active in our school.
