Rights Respecting Schools Award Gold

We are thrilled to announce that Meath has officially achieved the prestigious Rights Respecting Schools Award Gold! This incredible milestone is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our students, staff, and community in promoting and upholding children’s rights within our school.

The Rights Respecting Schools Award (RRSA), awarded by UNICEF, recognizes schools that actively incorporate the values of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) into every aspect of school life. Achieving the Gold Award means that Meath has not only demonstrated a deep understanding of children’s rights but also created a culture where these rights are respected, protected, and promoted for every student.

From engaging in thought-provoking discussions about children’s rights to the recent student-led protest for school improvements, our students have shown remarkable leadership in advocating for a positive, inclusive, and respectful school environment. This recognition celebrates their hard work and passion for making our school a place where every voice is heard and valued.

A huge thank you to our dedicated staff, who continuously support and guide our students in understanding their rights, and to all the parents and community members who have been involved in fostering this incredible journey.

We are proud of this achievement and excited to continue building a school where respect, inclusion, and fairness are at the heart of everything we do. Let’s keep working together to make our school a shining example of children’s rights in action!
