Amber Flag
What is the Amber Flag?
We are very excited to announce that here at Leitrim NS, we are embarking on a new adventure.
The Amber Flag aims to promote positive mental health and wellbeing for all the children in the school. Positive wellbeing means feeling good in your body and your mind, getting on well with others, feeling grateful for everything you have, enjoying life and feeling proud of the special person that you are.
Positive mental health is important to us as it enables us to lead happy, fulfilling lives. The Amber Flag hopes to encourage everyone to be caring and considerate to one another and bring about an improvement in our wellbeing.
Wellbeing Warriors
In order to promote positive mental health and wellbeing at our school, we are all working together to create a safe, positive and healthy attitude towards our general physical and mental health and wellbeing.
We are now all ‘Wellbeing Warriors’.
‘Wellbeing Warriors’ are always…
1. Respectful to everyone.
2. Trustworthy and reliable.
3. Showing empathy to others.
4. Expressing and demonstrating kindness.
5. Present and considerate to others while listening and supporting others.
