Our school is taking part in the AMBER FLAG initiative in association with Pieta House. This initiative aims to encourage Schools to promote and actively bring about a culture change in the promotion of positive mental health within the educational system and other organisations.
Ms Potts and Ms Drohan have established an Amber Flag Project Team. This team of students have identified the existing good work that is going on where mental health is concerned. They will now identify 3 main goals/tasks to enhance the existing educational provision and support structures in the area of mental health promotion in the school. These will include a mental health awareness day and a fundraiser for Pieta house.
You can find our wellness board in the foyer of the school.
