St Colman's is a Health Promoting School
In the school year 2015 / 2016 we will continue to promote both Healthy Eating & Being Active. One major step in our Healthy Eating Policy is to have a total ban any nut products in our lunch boxes.
We have three committees working together for the good of the school - The Active School Committee - The Health Promoting School Committee & The Green School Committee (Working on Litter & Waste, Saving Energy & Reducing Water Consumption)

In the school year 2014 / 2015 we continued to promote both Healthy Eating & Being Active. We applied for our Active School Flag in June 2015. Read about St Colman's as an active school HERE. This year both Staff & 6th Class pupils had a talk on the Importance of Good Mental Health. The 6th Class blogged about it HERE. The Staff also attended a Well Being Seminar organised by the INTO. In June 2015,In June, we signed up to take part in Super Troopers, which is a programme being run in schools by Laya Healthcare. The goal is to increase childrens activity levels, while encouraging healthy eating and learning about the human body.
In June 2014 we received the good news that we have been awarded the Health Promoting School Flag. This was a 2 year process. Last year we concentrated on Healthy Lunches & Healthy Eating in general. This year we worked on our fitness and becoming more active. Well done to all those involved!
