Amber Flag Day

Last Friday the 4th of December the TY year had a day dedicated to amber flag. The amber flag is a reward schools get if they spread good mental health around in the school. so it is our TY religion class mission to receive one for the school.

So for the past few weeks we had been preparing for the day, and splitting into groups to complete tasks. I was in the event group and it was our job to organize the bake sale along with other things like making amber bracelets and posters. 

On the actual day we all dressed in orange and made cakes for the bake sale. We had a fun day where there were no classes and we stayed in the library singing and chatting. When it came to lunch time the events group went down and started to sell the cakes. The bake sale was a hit and we raised 400 euro in aid of Pieta house and suicide prevention. It was a very successful day overall and we were all thrilled at the result.
