Wellbeing

In our school we endeavour to ensure that everyone reaches their full potential.  We place great emphasis on the holistic development and wellbeing of all. We aim to create a safe and secure learning environment in which everyone is valued and nurtured. Our staff members are friendly and approachable and are trained in delivering the highly effective “Friends for Life” resilience programme.  Everybody, young and old, looks out for each other and this year we applied for our first Pieta Amber Flag.  The Pieta Amber Flag Initiative recognises the efforts of schools like ours to create healthy and inclusive environments that support mental well-being.  Our Amber Flag Committee has representatives from each classroom in our school. We were very proud when we were informed that we had been awarded the Amber Flag and we had a flag raising ceremony in June 2022.
​In October 2023,  the Minister for Education, Norma Foley presented us with our Cineáltas flag. Cineáltas is the Irish for kindness and we are very proud to say that we show kindness in our school.
