The new Health Promoting School Committee are Mathew, Mark, Dylan, Niamh, Aine, Amy, Jennifer, Emma, David, Miss Brennan, Monica Mc Crory, Anne Clerkin and Patricia Feeley.
Chairperson: David Mc Kenna Secretary: Emma Kelly There are four pillars to the Health Promoting School Initiative: SPHE, Parents and the Wider Community, Ethos and Environment and Policies. Schools do one or two themes per year (usually two) and raise awareness as well. we started with a questionnaire and from there we worked on a Healthy Eating Policy. We decided to record all of our activities in a minute book and on this web site.
We decided on four initial activities:
A banner
Notice board
letter / flyer to parents
Healthy lunch box campaign
Breakfast survey
Teams of two / three took charge of each of these activities. All our tasks for achieving the HPS flag are complete and we have applied for it. Our new committee will now draw up a new plan for 2015 - 2016
