Active School Flag
A huge congratulations to all of the pupils and staff in Cheeverstown School as the school has been awarded the Active School Flag.
The Active School Flag (ASF) is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community.
The Active School Flag was awarded to the school in October / November 2018 and will remain valid for a period of three years after which time the school will be invited to re-apply.
A huge thanks to our Principal, Ms. Sheelagh Jones who co-ordinated the application process.
The Amber Flag Initiative
The Pieta House Amber Flag Initiative recognises the individual efforts of schools, companies and groups to create healthy, inclusive environments that support mental well-being and unites these groups in their efforts, working together toward a happier, healthier Ireland and eradicate the stigmas associated with mental health issues.
Cheeverstown School has applied to be considered for the Amber Flag. The school has identified a number of strategies already in place to promote positive mental health and are working on improving the promotion of positive mental health for all of the pupils and staff. This is an exciting development within our school.
