The Pieta Amber Flag initiative recognises the individual efforts of primary and secondary schools, youth reach, third level institutions, community groups and clubs to create healthy, inclusive environments that support mental well-being.
Over the past two years, our Amber Flag Committee, under the direction of Ms. Ruddle have been working very hard to make this a realisation.
The Amber Flag judging team stated that:
‘Your Amber Flag Committee has shown great commitment in promoting positive mental health by encouraging teamwork and contributions from peers. Our team has thoroughly enjoyed seeing the results of your efforts through the wonderful initiatives you organised.’
We will continue to raise awareness of stigmas which exist and the stressors on our collective mental and emotional well-being in Kilcornan National School.
Looking forward to welcoming our new flag!
