Health Promoting Schools.

We at Cloneygowan National School, are a Health Promoting School. This is a whole school initiative that sees involvement from the entire school. Our Motto is that a ''Healthy School is a Happy School'' & we firmly believe that our Health is better than our Wealth, or as gaeilge ''Is fearr an t-Sláinte ná na Táinte.

We believe that everyone's wellbeing can be boosted through the promotion of a healthy diet, exercise & a fun learning environment.

Our school was awarded the Health Promoting Schools (HPS) flag a few years ago. Gaining this award, involved a lot of collaboration & teamwork! 

The school are commencing their journey of working towards an Amber flag!

- Halloween dress up & school parade,

- Pjama day on the day of the toyshow (where we raise money for charity),

- Christmas food appeal
