This week in HFSS, some of our TY students are running a Bank of Ireland pop up School Bank. This give students the opportunity to set up and opening their own 2nd level bank account. The bank will be open again on Thursday and Friday at lunch time in Rm16. With their own bank account, students put their financial literacy learning into practice, choosing how they will spend and save their own money. Please encourage students to avail of this service while available.

The Leaving Certificate oral exams are finished. Time now for a restful break. Happy Easter eveyone from all at HFSS.

As we approach the Easter break, we wish all of our students and their families a very happy and restful holiday. This time of year is an opportunity for everyone to recharge and enjoy some well-deserved time with family and friends. Easter marks a point in the school calendar when students are preparing for important exams or assessments. It’s a time to reflect on the hard work done and to prepare for what lies ahead, particularly for students sitting for exams such as the Junior Cycle and Leaving Certificate and other school assessments.

We would also like to extend our very best wishes to our 6th-year students as they prepare for their Gaeilge and Modern Foreign Language oral exams that start tomorrow. 

Enjoy the break, take care of yourselves, and we look forward to seeing you back refreshed and ready for the final stretch of the school year.

A reminder about the Parents' Association Quiz Night tomorrow night. Last year, it was a tremendous success and it offered a lovely opportunity for parents to get to know each other and show their quiz skills!
