Our school is home to both a *Junior and Senior Book Club, meeting *once a month* to explore a wide range of stories. Over the course of the year, we read *14 books*, diving into discussions about characters, themes, and the moments that keep us turning the pages.  

It’s a great space to share ideas, challenge perspectives, and enjoy a good debate—whether about a surprising plot twist or whether the book was really better than the movie.

It’s a space where creativity thrives, confidence grows, and friendships are made—all while having a great time on and off the stage. Who knows? We might just have some *future Oscar winners* in our midst!  #DramaClub #TheShowMustGoOn #SchoolTheatre #CreativityInAction #FutureOscarStars

Today, the HFSS 5th year Chemistry class participated in a STEM event on site at Pfizer to celebrate Engineers Week and Women in STEM along with many other schools in Kildare. They had the opportunity to listen to and ask questions of inspirational speakers on Pfizer’s apprenticeship and graduate programmes. They also enjoyed many interactive displays in tablet production, laboratory testing , robotics and virtual reality. The students thoroughly enjoyed the event and hopefully this will encourage them to pursue careers in STEM. Many thanks to Pfizer for organising the event. It was great to meet past pupils, Kellie McMahon,Caoimhe McConnell, Kirsten McGuirk and Chloe McGuirk.
