St. Patrick's NS - 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.

In June 2025, we were awarded our first Amber Flag for our work in promoting positive mental health and wellbeing in St. Patrick's N.S. In our school, the whole school community comes together in order to create a safe, positive and healthy attitude towards our general physical and mental health and well-being.

Each year, we have a well-being week that promotes and celebrates the importance of mental, physical, and emotional well-being. We aim to equip our students with the knowledge, skills, and tools to manage their mental health and overall well-being. We do this by integrating well-being activities into every-day school life and organising activities and events throughout the year to encourage positive habits, raise awareness, and provide support for mental health as well as celebrate a designated Well-being week. We encourage student voice and our student council meet regularly to voice their concerns, participate in decision-making processes, and contribute to school improvement.
