Dear parents, guardians,

 We are contacting you regarding GAA in our school.

 Please see below dates for GAA training after school on Friday for all Year Groups (Girls and Boys).

• Feb 7th 14th , 28th
• March 7th, 21st, 28th
• April 4th , 11th
• May 2nd , 9th

 Training will take place in Templeogue Synge Street (TSS) GAA grounds at Dolphin Park.

 If we have to schedule a match on any of these dates for a specific year group, unfortunately, we may need to cancel training for the other year groups.

 Similarly, in the event that we are not permitted by TSS to use their pitch due to poor weather, we may need to cancel training at short notice.

 In the event of either of above, we will notify all students on the Friday morning via the school intercom and the Sports noticeboard outside Room 16 and all parents via the school app.

We also look forward to hosting our annual Educate Together GAA blitz in Term 3.  Date and times to be confirmed.

 Thank you for your continued support.

 Kind regards,

School Office.

Save the Date for the HCETSS Annual Pub Quiz Night!

Prepare to flex those brain muscles... or just laugh at everyone else's attempts.

 When: Wednesday, April 2nd at 7:30 PM

 Where: Peggy Kelly's Pub

 How Much: €15 per person, or grab a table for €60 (because teamwork makes the dream work... or at least makes the losing slightly less painful).

Grab your tickets from the link below, grab your mates, and let's see who's the pub quiz champion (or at least the team with the best excuses). See you there!
