Rinneadh an chigireacht sa scoil agus é dírithe ar chur i bhfeidhm na Nósanna Imeachta um Chosaint Leanaí do Bhunscoileanna agus Iar-Bhunscoileanna 2017.

Tá an-áthas orainn a rá go bhfaca siad go raibh an scoil comhlíontach go hiomlán i ngach réimse de Chosaint Leanaí. Scrúdaigh siad freisin pleanáil agus cur i bhfeidhm na scoile ar an gCuraclam um Oideachas Pearsanta Sóisialta agus Sláinte laistigh den scoil, lena n-áirítear Bí Sábháilte, Misneach agus Oideachais Caidrimh agus Gnéasachta.

Is mian linn aitheantas agus buíochas a thabhairt do phobal iontach na Scoile – na daltaí, na tuismitheoirí agus an fhoireann as an bpáirt a ghlac siad leis an gcaighdeán iontach seo a bhaint amach.
