Holy Family N.S. Rathmore Celebrates Fourth Amber Flag and Donates €500 to Pieta House

Holy Family National School, Rathmore, has once again demonstrated its strong commitment to promoting wellbeing and mental health by raising an impressive €538.05 for Pieta House during its recent ‘Wellbeing Week’. The funds were proudly presented to John Dempsey of Pieta House by members of the school’s dedicated Amber Flag committee. Adding to the celebrations, the school was awarded its fourth Amber Flag in recognition of its ongoing efforts to promote positive mental health throughout the school community. The special occasion was marked by past pupil and Kerry footballer Shane Ryan, who returned to his alma mater to raise the new flag—much to the delight of students and staff alike. The Amber Flag committee consists of enthusiastic pupils from Senior Infants to Sixth Class who play an active role in fostering a culture of inclusion, support, and mental wellness in the school. The current committee members are Noah, Fiadh, Patrick, Mikayla, Hannah, Tommy, Caelan, Aoibhinn, Adam, Éabha, Sara, Gavin, Emma, and David. A huge congratulations to all involved in this fantastic achievement.
