Active School Flag Initiative
Welcome to our Active School Flag Page. This year we are working collectively as a school from junior infants to sixth class, endeavouring to maintain our active and healthy lifestyle that resulted in us attaining an 'Active School Flag' for Ballyfin National School in 2015, a Renewal Flag in 2018 and 2021.
The premise of 'mens sana corpore sano, a healthy mind is a healthy body' has always been embraced by our school, be it through the teaching of physical education in the curriculum or through the wide array of extra curricular activities provided by the staff of the school.
In conjunction with the extra curricular activities and the teaching of P.E., we are initiating and organising events that promote our pupils to be physically active, with particular emphasis on inclusion, fun and whole school participation.
Our aim is to hopefully to build on the success of 2015, when we raised our first Active Flag and 2018 and 2021, when we raised our second and third flag.
We are hoping to achieve our fifth flag this school year 2024/2025.
We have a very enthusiastic and hardworking A.S.F committee who are working extremely hard to promote an active lifestyle within the school. They include:
Mr. Crone, Ms. Doughan 6th Class Teachers
Ms. Mazurczak 1st Class Teacher
Mr. McNabb 4th Class Teacher
Pupils organising initiatives 6th Class
