Amber Flag

 

The Amber Flag initiative is an initiative run by Pieta House which recognises the individual efforts of primary and secondary schools, youth reach, third level institutions, community groups, clubs and companies to create healthy, inclusive environments that support mental wellbeing. 

Successful completion of the Amber Flag initiative 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. 

In June 2024 we were awarded our first Amber Flag! 

For the current school year, 2025/2026, in order to maintain our Amber Flag status we must apply to renew it.

In order for us to maintain our Amber Flag award status, the following are our objectives for the year:

  1. Hold a Mental Health Awareness Day
  2. Hold a fundraiser to support Pieta’s work and increase awareness of Pieta’s services.
  3. Develop a mentoring programme
  4. Hold a Wellbeing Week to promote positive mental health and wellbeing in our community.

We will be working on these objectives throughout the year.

Check back on this page regularly for all our activities for promoting positive mental health in our school!
