Amber Flag

It was a very happy Friday in O'Connell's today as we have managed to win the Amber Flag Award for Promoting Wellbeing and Mental health awareness. Despite all of the issues that we have due to Covid, there has been a real purpose about raising mental health awareness in the school and the boys deserve great credit for their efforts in obtaining this flag. I would particularly like to thank the Wellbeing Committee in the school which includes 6 boys, 4 parents and 4 staff for their efforts and suggestions to win this prestigious award.

Our Inside/Out day was a huge success and due to the generosity of parents, boys and staff we managed to raise €1000 for Pieta House. This is a huge amount of money to go towards a very worthy cause and Pieta House were thrilled to receive such a large sum of money from any school. We have one or two more ideas which may take place before the end of this school year so watch this space! Thank you again to the whole school community for your support. OCS is the best!
