St. Philomena's Primary School is hoping to be awarded the Active School Flag.


The Active School Flag was launched by the Department of Education in 2009.

It is a non-competitive initiative which seeks to recognise schools (both primary and post primary) that strive to achieve a physically active and physically educated school community.

In order to be awarded the Active School Flag schools must:

1. Commit to a process of self evaluation in terms of the PE programmes and physical opportunities that they offer

2. Plan and implement a series of changes that will enhance PE and extracurricular provision and promote physical activity.
