Active Schools
Active School Flag
Scoil Naomh Íde Ashford are currently working towards attaining our first Active School Flag!
What is the Active School Flag?
The Active School Flag is a Department of Education and Skills initiative supported by Healthy Ireland. The Active School Flag is awarded to schools that strive to achieve a physically educated and physically active school community. The process aims to get more schools, more active, more often. Our challenge will be to find interesting and exciting ways to energize the school day because active children are happy learners!
Please keep an eye on the website for updates on how we have been getting active in school! Also, we know that parents have some brilliant ideas on how we could increase physical activity levels of our children. There will be a suggestion box located at the main office in the school soon if you would like to share your ideas with us!
Our Active School Flag Committee
Our ASF Committee is made up of Mr Breen and the students from our students council. We have brilliant students who volunteered:
- Jack -6th Class
- JohnJoe -5th class
- Oscar – 6th Class
- Conal -4th Class
Our first job was to create a catchy Halloween Playlist and to organise a drop everything and dance. Our Motto for the year is Stay Active Have Fun!
