Clonberne National School - Amber Flag
Amber Flag
The Pieta House Amber Flag initiative recognises the individual efforts of primary and secondary schools, companies, and groups to create healthy, inclusive environments that support mental well-being. It unites us in our efforts as we work together toward a happier, healthier Ireland and the eradication of the stigmas associated with mental health issues.
To be awarded the Pieta House Amber Flag, applicant groups must host a mental health awareness event, a fundraiser, and a mental health initiative.
The three main goals for the Amber Flag are :
1) To promote mental health and well-being for all.
2) Preventing mental health problems through increased awareness, social
support, reducing risk factors such as racism, bullying and isolation.
3) Improve the quality of life for students with mental health
problems by promoting recovery through awareness and education.

Amber Flag 2020-2021 awarded
In June 2021 following our successful well-being awareness day we were awarded our Amber Flag. We are very grateful to our Amber Flag committee from 2nd class for all their hard work this year.
Our Clonberne N.S. well-being awareness day will be happening on May 27th 2021. We hope to spend lots of time in class exploring fun ways to ensure we have good mental health and gather together (in a socially distanced manner) to raise our Amber flag.
