Health Promoting School

For the last two years we have been working towards obtaining our Health Promoting School Flag.

The Health Promoting Schools Flag’ is presented by the HSE to schools as an acknowledgement of their work in improving the health of their school communities. The programme supports schools to focus on health and well-being and involves all members of the school community. Students, staff, parents and guardians are consulted to identify priority health areas. Over a period of  2 school years schools develop an action plan to address the health areas identified.  Schools are guided to address their priority area under the following evidence based categories: environment (social and physical) curriculum, policies and partnerships. Schools work, at their own pace, supported by the HSE Health Promotion & Improvement Dept. In each school, a Healthy Ireland-Health Promoting Schools coordinator and Healthy Ireland-Health Promoting Schools team lead out on the progression of health and well-being and this work is supported by the school principal, board of management and wider school community. 

We are delighted to say that Scoil Bhríde has been awarded this flag.

We would like to say a 'Big Thank You' to all involved especially Ms Monica McCrory HSE, Our Health Promotion Team, which included Mrs O'Neill, Siobhán, Caroline Wood parent representative, Grainne, Oran, Aaron and Katelyn.

Well done to all pupils in the school. 

Thank you to all parents and guardians who assisted in surveys and questionnaires.
