Students at the Ursuline Thurles are given the opportunity to be involved in a project that encourages schools to promote positive mental health.
The Amber Flag initiative enhances the already good work that is going on in schools in the area of positive mental health. Successful completion of the Amber Flag initiative involves the whole school community coming together in order to create a safe, positive and healthy attitude towards our general physical and mental health and well-being.
We have achieved four Amber Flags and are working towards our fifth one for the 2023 - 2024 school year.
The Amber Flag committee members meet every second week to discuss ideas and projects that could be promoted among the student body in the Ursuline.
Past events have included art competitions, a whole-school sing song, a healthy breakfast morning, letter-writing, poster campaigns to name just a few.
