UNICEF RIGHTS RESPECTING SCHOOL

Roe Valley Integrated Primary School is a Rights Respecting School. 

Roe Valley is a school where every aspect of a child is focused on and developed, including the area of well being. As part of our school’s aims to promote a happy and successful school, we are working towards maintaining our status as a Rights Respecting School. This is an award which is given to schools on behalf of UNICEF.

All children learn about their rights and responsibilities, helping them recognise that they are universal and that all children do not have equal access to these rights across the world. At Roe Valley IPS, we inform children of their rights and that everybody has rights and we are committed to working towards a world where everyone can access these.

Each class has created an amazing mural representing their right. These are on display in our school for parents and visitors to see!! We are all very proud of them (especially the pupils) and they look fantastic.

 

HEALTH PROMOTING SCHOOL

We have held the Health Promoting Schools Gold Award since 2008/09. We have a healthy snack policy and encourage healthy lunch boxes by holding regular lunchbox challenges and competitions. 

The award helps young people to understand the many factors that influence health and their own ability to influence these factors as individuals and within their community. 

To view our Healthy Breaks Policy, visit the policies page in the 'About Us' section.
