The St. Andrew’s Amber Flag Committee have been working very hard this year towards hopefully receiving an Amber Flag for the school.
The Pieta Amber Flag Initiative recognises the individual efforts of primary and secondary schools, Youthreach, third level institutions, community groups and clubs to create healthy, inclusive environments that support mental well-being.

- Organise a fundraiser in aid of Pieta House.
- Create a Well-being/ Amber Flag notice board in the school.
