This week in Holy Family was a busy one for our students. We had our Mental Health awareness week and our students wrote hundreds of positive messages on our well-being wall outside and inside throughout the school . Tutor time on Monday afternoon looked at the theme of kindness and how being kind helps both the giver and receiver. 3rd year classes had their full day of CSPE where they learned about the environment and explored ways to reduce their carbon footprint. They kick started a whole school action project to recycle batteries throughout the school. 2nd year classes had a full day of SPHE on Thursday, completing the Irish Heart Foundation’s course in hands only CPR, a stress management lesson, mindful walks, an art session and a movie exploring the theme of friendship.

The Department of Education has commenced work to review the Action Plan on Bullying and the Anti-bullying Procedures for Primary and Post-primary Schools. The review will take account of the significant developments and relevant research since the Action Plan and Anti-bullying Procedures were published in 2013. It will also specifically consider cyber bullying, identity bullying and sexual harassment, among other areas. The Department have been planning and organising as broad and inclusive a consultation process as possible as we believe it is of upmost importance that this work is informed by the views of all members of society. A key component of the consultation process is a public consultation where written submissions can be made and an online questionnaire can be completed. These submissions will help ensure that our work to prevent and tackle bullying in our schools will be informed by the views of as many children and young people, parents, school staff, education partners and individual members of the public as possible. This consultation process will open on Thursday 26 May 2022 and will remain open until Tuesday 21 June 2022. and is open to all who wish to participate. The consultation can be accessed on www.gov.ie/schools-anti-bullying-plan-review/

HFSS seal Leinster Title win

The 1st Year soccer team clinched the Leinster A Cup today after defeating Presentation Wexford 3-1 in Carlow IT. The girls started strongly and were on the front foot from the outset dominating possession and territory but the final ball just wouldn't fall kindly and HFSS couldn't find the breakthrough they deserved. With Pres Wexford finally getting into the game and looking more likely to score, Jessica McNulty fired a free kick from near the half way that sailed over the keepers head and into the net, With three minutes remaining in the half HFSS got a second. A looping ball into the box from Leah Ward somehow bounced awkwardly on the astroturf and found it's way into the goal. 2-0 at half time. Pres Wexford started the second period at full tilt knowing they needed to get back into the game. After 5 minutes a mix up in defence allowed them to find the back of the net and the tie was back in the melting pot. Some resolute defending continued to keep the strong Pres Wexford attack at bay time after time. With 10 minutes remaining a break from midfield and some excellent passing allowed Anniemae Dunne to slot home HFSS's third. Despite Pres Wexford throwing all they could to try get back into the game the girls held on. With the referee's final whistle came wild celebrations from all players and supporters. The girls will now represent Leinster in the All Ireland competition which will take place in September. The attention now switches to the league semi-final next Monday versus Ratoath.
