S.N. Bhaile Chláir na Gaillimhe plays a vital role in the promotion of wellbeing through a range of activities and approaches to support the academic, physical, mental, emotional, social and spiritual development of all children.
Our school has developed innovative approaches to wellbeing promotion supported by strong leadership and quality teaching and learning. We understand that our education system is key to equipping children and young people with the knowledge, skills and competencies to deal with challenges that impact on their wellbeing.
The Department of Education and Skills aims to ensure that the experience of children and young people from the early years and throughout their primary and post primary education will be one that enhances, promotes, values and nurtures their wellbeing.
The vision and ambition of the Department of Education and Skills in relation to Wellbeing Promotion sets out to ensure that:
- the promotion of wellbeing will be at the core of the ethos of every school and centre for education
- all schools will provide evidence-informed approaches and support, appropriate to need, to promote the wellbeing of all their children and young people
Our school uses the School Self-Evaluation (SSE) process to initiate a wellbeing promotion review and development cycle.
Our priority at S.N. Bhaile Chláir na Gaillimhe is the wellbeing of our students as espoused in our school mission statement. We recognise the importance of students having positive role models. We want our students to feel like they belong, to feel comfortable, safe, connected, supported, optimistic, resilient, respected, and respectful towards others. We seek to promote a caring, inclusive and committed school community where everyone is valued as unique, one in which we work in collaboration so that we all recognise the importance of wellbeing.
