Castletown Girls School have recently earned their second Amber Flag. The Amber Flag initiative is run by Pieta House and aims to raise awareness in schools about mental health and give the children coping strategies they can implement to help their mental health. The Amber Flag Committee worked hard all year with teachers Ms McMahon and Ms McLoughlin to come up with monthly wellness activities for the whole school throughout the year. In May, they held a Wellbeing Week before being awarded their second flag this week.
During wellbeing week the whole school participated in wellness activities like walks to the park, yoga, board games, design a poster competition, and making sensory bags. The week finished off with a rainbow dress up fundraiser and wellbeing disco for Pieta House.
