WHAT IS AN ACTIVE SCHOOL?
The Active Flag is awarded to schools who endeavour to achieve a physically active and physically educated school community. The initiative aims to promote
‘more schools to become more active, more often’
With much hard work and dedication from our Active school committee, pupils and staff, St Michael’s was officially recognised as an ‘Active School’ in 2017.
Since then, we have remained active through Active Yard, Go Noodle, Tennis, Gymnastics, Dance and through participation in cross country, gaelic and soccer events. Have a look at the photographs from our Active School Week 2018, 2019 and 2020!

We started our Active School Flag renewal process in 2019 and are hoping to receive our second Active School Flag this year.
As with all areas of school life, the support and participation of all members of our school community including pupils, staff and parents is hugely important to ensure St. Michael’s is an Active School.
