Amber Flag

Green Flag

In 2022 St. Margaret’s N.S. embarked on a new initiative which involved working towards achieving the Amber Flag. Our student council under the guidance of Ms. Noone, work hard throughout the year to make positive changes and to co-ordinate events to promote positive mental health and well-being in our students, teachers, and parents. They organise whole school activities for initiatives such as Well-being week, Anti-bullying week, Diversity week and ‘Thankful Tuesdays’.

The Amber Flag initiative recognises the individual effort of schools to create healthy, inclusive environments that support the mental well-being of students, school staff, and wider school community.

The three main goals for the Amber Flag are:

1)To promote mental health and well-being for all.

2) Preventing mental health problems through increased awareness, social support, reducing risk factors such as racism, bullying and isolation.

3) Improve the quality of life for students with mental health problems by promoting recovery through awareness and education.
