Exciting News!

On the 4th of June 2019, Scoil Naomh Treasa was awarded an Amber Flag for our efforts to promote positive mental health and well-being in our school. 

It is well documented that positive mental health and well-being enables young people to lead fulfilling lives. Home and family are recognised as the primary source of nurturing and support for children. However, mental health and well-being are recognised as everyone’s concern. It involves the whole school community, parents/guardians and the many others involved in day to day life of the child. Positive mental health for children is part of their overall health and is inextricably linked with well-being.

Our Aim: To Promote Positive Mental Health at School

• Goal 1: To create an Amber Flag notice board in the school, promoting positive mental health strategies.
