Amber Flag
This year, in order to promote positive mental health and well-being at St Paul’s N.S., we have decided to take part in the Amber Flag Initiative. We already promote a climate of inclusivity, diversity and friendship through various school books such as Wellbeing Diaries and Mindful Matters and programmes such as Stay Safe, Walk Tall, RSE, Weaving Wellbeing, Backpack, Rainbows Training for Teacher and Friends for Life.

The AMBER FLAG INITIATIVE aims to encourage schools to promote, and actively
bring about a culture change in the promotion of, positive mental health within the
educational system and other organisations.

This initiative involves the whole school community coming together in other to create a safe, positive and healthy attitude towards our general physical and mental health and well-being.
