IT’S been a very busy few days up at Mercy Mounthawk as a series of events have taken place to mark Health Promotion Week.
It was launched on Tuesday with a visit from the lads from ACT – All Change Together — which is a health promotion programme based in Kerry aiming to provide basic health and nutritional knowledge to the youth of Ireland.
Wednesday saw first, second, transition year and fifth year students taking part in a 5k run/walk and on Friday the First Year Olympics will take place.

The school has a health promotions team including teachers, students and parents which liaises with several external organisations to promote the health agenda. Each year the team organises two Health Promotion Weeks which focus the whole school community on the theme at hand. Scroll down for photos…
