We are very proud to annouce that Derrychrin PS have been awarded the Level One accreditation as a TAKE 5 School. The accreditation is in recognition of the beginning of our TAKE 5 journey and the school's development as a TAKE 5 School with various well-being initiatives delivered this year.
Mrs McGuckin and Mr McElroy recently attended a TAKE 5 School Celebration Event along with many other Primary and Post-Primary schools celebrating all the hard work and achievements as TAKE 5 Schools.
We would like to thank Chris Lindsay from the Education Authority who delivered staff training 'TAKE 5 – STEPS TO WELL-BEING' and assisted in Derrychrin on starting their TAKE 5 journey.
As a school, we aim to further develop pupil awareness of CLANG and the TAKE 5 steps to wellbeing to help identify opportunities to promote wellbeing,not only with the pupils, but also with staff, parents and the wider school community. TAKE 5 also complements the EA’s new Health and Well Being Strategy launched in 2020. The key themes of promoting, education and supporting Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies, Social Health, Giving Back and Financial Wellbeing. Developing the 5 steps to well-being will support everyone in recognising stress and anxiety and strategies to overcome it.
