We have so many things going on in our school. Here is just a small look at some of the events and projects were have completed.

Yellow Flag

We were presented with our Yellow Flag last Wednesday 21st October 2009 by Minister Mary Hanafin, on behalf of the Irish Traveller Movement, in Trinity College. It was awarded to the school in recognition of our hard work and committment to diversity and inclusion. A big "Thank You" to the parents, staff and students who took part in the Diversity Committee, to all of the classes, staff and parents who worked so hard on the Yellow Flag projects last year and especially to Diana who co-ordinated the work at every level. We are very proud of our achievement. Mary, Oct. 09'

What is the Yellow Flag?

The main aim of this pilot programme is to develop a practical series of steps that brings issues of interculturalism, equality and diversity into the whole-school programme and apply them to the day to day running of the school.It aims to work with students, staff, management, parents and wider community groups so that issues of diversity and equality are not merely seen as "school subjects" but can be understood and taken outside the school setting into everyday life.Similarly to the Green Schools, the Diversity in Schools pilot would be both a practical programme and an award scheme - completion of the nine practical steps would result in the school receiving the "Yellow Flag" for diversity.
