Active School Flag
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.

Swim for a Mile
On Saturday 25th March 2017 our Principal, Ms. Sheelagh Jones challenged herself to ‘Swim a Mile’ in the National Aquatic Centre.
Sheelagh bravely took on this challenge to raise much needed funds for the costs that will be associated with running our own minibus here at Cheeverstown School. She trained hard to prepare herself for the event (with many early morning starts involved before her long school day even started!).
Sheelagh did herself and all of us proud and swam her mile in just 43 minutes. She was presented with a medal in recognition of her achievement and raised much needed funds for a worthy cause.
