THERE were big smiles and proud hearts at Bandon Primary School as pupils and staff celebrated receiving the prestigious Amber Flag, a national award recognising schools that promote positive mental health and wellbeing.
The award, presented by Pieta House, acknowledges the efforts of the school community in creating a supportive, inclusive and proactive environment for whole school wellbeing.
Over the past year, Bandon Primary School and its wellbeing committee - made up of both staff and children - worked tirelessly to organise events, workshops and initiatives focusing on kindness, mindfulness, and emotional awareness.
A celebration will be held on the school grounds where the Amber Flag will be proudly raised.
