The Yellow Flag Programme is a progressive equality and diversity initiative for primary and secondary schools which promotes and supports an environment for inter-culturalism. St. Oliver's School is delighted to be taking part in the Yellow Flag Programme this year.

Lots of work has been done so far, the setting up of our committee, and Yellow Flag Launch at Muckross House with the Monastery School, the Intercultural Review and presently the setting up of the Yellow Flag Corners/notice boards with wonderful displays of our diversity, interculturalism and inclusiveness with the important messages of how we are all equal. Many events are planned for the months ahead and we will keep you all informed. Please look at the Gallery Section for some photos of recent events.

If a parent has any suggestions, we will have a suggestions box at the "Parent Notice Board" in School.
