Our Active Flag Journey
"The Active School Flag is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community. The process aims to get more schools, more active, more often.
The Active School Flag involves the whole school community as pupils, staff, parents and the wider community work together to achieve new active goals, and a happy and healthy attitude towards physical activity."
There are three areas to work on as part of the flag criteria- Physical Education, Physical Activity and Partnerships.
Here in Scoil San Nioclás, we began our Active School Journey in 2012. In June 2014 we were awarded our first Active School Flag and we proudly raised our second flag in June 2018.
We are now working towards our third Active Flag, which we hope to achieve in 2021. We are continuing lots of our active inititivies - Wake Up, Shake Up exercises in the morning, movement breaks, twice weekly PE sessions, The Daily Mile (term 3) and Active Week. Our Active Committee will be working hard encouraging everyone to get involved.
We are delighted to continue our partnerships with Louth Sports Partnership and Stabannon Parnells GFC and we thank them for their help and support throughout our active journey.
