What is the Active School Flag?
The Active School Flag is a Department of Education and Skills initiative supported by Healthy Ireland. The Active School Flag is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community. The process aims to get more schools, more active, more often. We were delighted to achieve our first Active School Flag in 2019-2020 and are currently working towards our renewal flag.
Our challenge will be to continue to find new, interesting and exciting ways to energize the school day because active children are happy learners!
Please keep an eye on our Twitter and Facebook pages for updates on how we have been getting active in school . Also, we know that parents have some brilliant ideas on how we could increase physical activity levels of our children. There will be a suggestion box located at the main office in the school soon if you would like to share your ideas with us!
