 Welcome to our Active School Flag website.

  • The Active School was launched by the Department of Education in May 2009 and is organised through Mayo education Centre.
  • The purpose of the initiative is to recognise schools that strive to achieve a physically active and physically educated school community.
  • It is the overall aim of Threen N.S to provide a wide and varied physical health programme for children both during allocated P.E. times and extracurricular activities.
  • We want to raise awareness about the importance of enjoyment, play and keeping fit and the Active Flag initiative will encourage us to do this.
