Jigsaw's One Good School Programme.
This is an initiative for promoting and supporting mental health and well- being in post primary schools. The programme adopts a whole school approach and can support schools in many areas of their practice in relation to mental health & wellbeing.
We first began this initiative in Mungret CC in January 2019 and now are in the process of establishing our One good School Team. Last Term representatives from JIGSAW Limerick came to school to present a plaque honouring our schools commitment to the “One Good School” pilot program over the last two years. We were delighted to learn from them that we have also been extended an invitation to participate in the next phase of the initiative.
