School Initiatives

Amber Flag

St. Teresa’s National School became involved in the Amber Flag Initiative over five years ago to highlight and promote well-being and positive mental health among pupils. The flag is awarded to schools who engage in activities to promote an ethos of positive mental health.

The Amber Flag Committee led by teachers Siobhán Kearney and Deirdre Laide embarked on a thoroughly enjoyable mission to improve the overall happiness and health of the children at St. Teresa’s N.S., Kilflynn. The Committee, comprising of teachers and pupils, collaborated to create many enjoyable activities over the academic years.

Green-Schools Flag

Green-Schools, known internationally as Eco-Schools, is an international environmental education programme, environmental management system and award scheme that promotes and acknowledges long-term, whole-school action for the environment.

Unlike a once-off project, it is a long-term initiative that introduces participants (students, teachers, parents and the wider community) to the concept of an environmental management system.

However, Green-Schools is far more than just an environmental management system.

Active School Flag

The community of St. Teresa’s National School received our first Active School Flag in June 2022 and our second Active Flag in June 2025.

The Active School Flag is a Department of Education and Youth initiative which recognises schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community, by awarding them with the Active School Flag (ASF).

The aim of the Active School Flag is to encourage schools to be more active, more often. It links in with all of the work we are doing throughout the year on healthy living – being active, getting outside as much as possible and taking care of our minds and bodies.
