BAKE SALE THIS FRIDAY 11TH MARCH for F1 “Supernova Racing”

Our F1 in Schools Team "Supernova Racing" fronted by three of our TY students; Grace Murphy, Clodagh Kelly and Rebecca Loftus, have reached the All-Ireland finals of the F1 in Schools International competition which is due to take place in April. The girls have designed a miniature Formula One racing car which is currently being manufactured and will race against 130 other schools from all across the country at the finals. In order to purchase mechanical parts for the car and other materials, the students need to raise funds, firstly through a bake sale this Friday and secondly through gaining sponsorship from local companies. It is fantastic to see STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) being promoted in the Holy Family. Students can support our team this Friday by purchasing some treats made by the TYs. Also, if any parents would like to get involved through providing sponsorship, please contact Ms Whelan via email reception@holyfamily.ie

HFSS reach Leinster Final

The U15 Soccer team beat a strong Presentation Kilkenny team 2-1 today to advance to the Leinster Final. HFSS started strongly and took the lead within 3 minutes with a well taken goal by Ella Donellan. With the wind at their backs the girls pushed for a second and found it with 15 minutes gone after a ball broke at the back post to Jessica McNulty who calmly slotted the ball into the net. For the remainder of the half, Presentation Kilkenny began to gain the ascendency and would've taken the lead only for some resolute defending from the HFSS girls. 2-0 at half time. For the majority of the second half HFSS struggled gain any momentum against a very strong wind and were camped in their own half for long periods. Again the defence held strong against a barrage of attacks. A mix up in defence allowed Presentation Kilkenny to get in on goal and they duly took their opportunity. This set up a nervy final 10 minutes. Presentation Kilkenny pushed for an equaliser but it never came. The final whistle was greeted with both relief and jubilation as HFSS girls celebrated. Final versus Loreto Kilkenny to take place in the coming weeks.

1S used peer collaboration to improve upon their algebra. The groups, led by their team mentor, worked through different types of algebra sums encouraging each other where difficulties arose. The small learning hubs enabled the groups to ask questions of their peers and all felt stronger in their algebra abilities afterwards. Lots of positive interactions happening in room 10.

Updated Covid-19 Guidance to Schools following the mid-term break 2022
Created : 25 Feb 2022, 1:42 PM
Archived : 25 Apr 2022, 12:00 AM
Good afternoon, The Government has accepted the recommendations of NPHET to remove remaining restrictions relating to mask-wearing and physical distancing in schools and therefore the Department of Education has informed schools that they can begin to remove COVID school emergency measure restrictions. Schools have discretion at local level to determine the timescale for introducing the changes outlined. At HFSS, we will proceed with caution and above all, respect for each other. TIMETABLES?: Timetables, mask breaks and staggered breaks will remain as they currently are. MASK WEARING?: It is no longer a requirement for staff or students to wear a mask in school. Staff and students can continue to wear a mask if they wish to do so. We are extremely mindful that COVID 19 is still in our community and can still pose a health concern to many. We will respect the right of choice in this matter. HAND HYGIENE?: HFSS will continue continue to promote good hygiene. Hand hygiene can be achieved by hand washing and use of a hand sanitiser. CLEANING and HYGIENE in HFSS?; We will continue with our enhanced COVID 19 cleaning and sanitising for the rest of this school year. COVID 19 symptoms?: The requirement to stay at home if you have symptoms remains, both for students and staff. One of the key messages to manage the risks of COVID-19 is to do everything practical to avoid the introduction of COVID-19 into the school. We will hold student assemblies on Monday, 28th February to outline changes to the HFSS student body. With kind regards, Sarah Allen www.gov.ie/en/publication/e1754-information-note-sd-00032022-updated-covid-19-guidance-to-schools-following-the-mid-term-break-2022/
Social media apps: Tik Tok

For 'Safer Internet Week' recently, issues relating to safe and kind social media behaviours were discussed by all in school. At HFSS, we continue to encourage students to practice appropriate, kind and safe online behaviors. During this mid-term break from school, we would be grateful if you would also dialogue, once again, with your child about appropriate and safe behaviours on social media to reinforce this important school messaging. For many young people, it is important to feel like they belong to a group of peers and gain public recognition on social media. There is a lot of fun to be had on many of the online platforms and it is important to recognise that. However, we have also seen a rise in unwanted and unkind behaviours online that have a direct effect in school, particularly on the TikTok app. We would ask that you would open a discussion about TikTok challenges, trends, videos etc. Discuss what the possible outcomes are for all involved. Ask the questions: Will someone get hurt? Does it help anyone? How would they feel if they were named/tagged/videoed by another without their consent? Importantly, we would ask you to stress once again with your child that HFSS has an 'OFF and AWAY' device policy and that engagement in social media apps is not allowed during school time. Webwise have excellent and detailed parental supports. Thank you for your continued support. www.webwise.ie/parents/explained-tiktok/ Sarah Allen
