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 (October 10th 2025)
2. Hold a fundraiser to support Pieta’s work and increase awareness of Pieta’s services (December 16th)
3. Hold a Wellbeing Week to promote positive mental health and wellbeing in our community (January 26th - 30th 2026)
4. Develop a Well-Being Walk around the school yard, consisting of signposted stations where students can stop to complete short well-being activities.

We will be working on these objectives throughout the year.
