It is recognised in Well-Being in Primary Schools Guidelines for Mental Health Promotion that positive mental health and well-being enables young people to lead fulfilling lives. Home and family are recognised as the primary source of nurturing and support for children. However, mental health and well-being are recognised as everyones concern and involves the whole school community, parents/guardians and others involved in day to day school life. Positive mental health for children is part of their overall health and is inextricably linked with well-being.
In order to promote positive mental health and well-being we have decided to take part in the Amber Flag Initiative. This involves the whole school community coming together in order to create a safe, positive, and healthy attitude towards our general physical and mental health and well-being.
Ms Shaaron Byrne is our Amber Flag co-ordinator and the committee members are:
- Wiktor
- Shane
- Hope
- Jane
- Ellie Rose
- Oliwia Pucek
- Vanessa
- Kelsey
- Ms. S Byrne and Ms N Duggan
