'TAKE 5 School' Level 3 Award
We are very proud to announce that we have been awarded the Level Three accreditation as a TAKE 5 School. The accreditation is in recognition of our TAKE 5 journey and the school's development as a TAKE 5 School with various well-being initiatives delivered during the year and over the course of the past three years.
Mrs. McGuckin our 'TAKE 5' and 'Being Well, Doing Well' lead teacher and Mr. McElroy attended a TAKE 5 School celebration event last week along with many other Primary and Post-Primary schools to receive the award.
As a school, we aim to continue to maintain and 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.
As a school we are extremely proud of this achievement. CONGRATULATIONS Derrychrin PS!
