Wellbeing & Amber Flag

Our Wellbeing Committee has been busy behind the scenes making an audit of all our well being practices and celebrations to date in preparation for our Amber Flag. The Amber Flag initiative is an initiative run by Pieta House which recognises the individual efforts of schools and communities to create healthy, inclusive environments that support mental wellbeing. The Amber Flag Committee which is our Well Being Committee is a mental health initiative designed to help our school promote positive mental health. Scoil Barra Naofa has always placed a huge emphasis on supporting well being.

In November we celebrated Positivity Week where we all focused on positive words and thoughts. The classes made some amazing posters and came up with some beautiful uplifting quotes. We celebrated the end of Positivity Week with a Feel Good Friday day where we all wore our favourite colour to school.

In December we will be focusing our attention and kindness towards others. January we will hold our fundraiser by holding a Cozy Vibes Day in aid of Pieta House in alignment with our work towards gaining the Amber Flag.
