On the 14th and 15th February we celebrated Well being and Mental Health awareness at St. Fintan’s. On the 14th, all children and staff were invited to wear their clothes inside out to get everyone thinking about how someone looks on the outside, may not necessarily reflect how they are feeling on the inside. On this day, our resident DJ… (Barry!) treated the children to an outdoor disco in the yard. There were some great dance moves on display!
On the 15th, all children participated in activities to encourage good mental health and wellbeing: Yoga, Musical Bingo, Healthy eating, Smoothie making, Mindfulness and Mediation. A huge thank you to all of the teachers for facilitating these days particularly our Amber Flag committee who went above and beyond to make the day enjoyable for the children. These two days also doubled up as a fundraising event for Pieta House where we raised a whopping €2886. Thank you so much for your very generous donations! Fingers crossed we have done enough to earn our Amber Flag and it will be proudly flying outside St. Fintan’s before long.
