Active Flag

This year St. Margaret’s N.S, Curracloe is in the process of applying for an Active Flag. We have carried out surveys identifying our strengths and areas needing improving in terms of how active we are as a school community. By the end of the process, we hope to be celebrating by officially becoming an Active School and receiving our very first Active Flag. In this section of the website, you will find information on everything relating to our journey towards achieving this.
