EXTRA_CURRICULAR PROGRAMME

There is also a very important extra-curricular and co-curricular programme in the school which supports student WELLBEING.   We have a dynamic Health Promotion committee which runs two health promotion weeks each year focusing on various aspects of health.  See some of their activities here.   We also have a significant emphasis on the promotion of Mental Health in the school and again there is a vibrant group of students, teachers and parents involved in this project.  See some of their activities in particular the Amber Flag project here and the Cycle Against Suicide project video here

WELLBEING is one of our initiatives as part of our School Improvement Plan (SIP). You can access that page here.
