The Under 16 Gaelic Football team had an impressive win versus St. Wolstan's yesterday in the first round of the league.

Today we held our annual 1st Year Sports Day. Throughout the day the students got to sample many of the extra-curricular sports we have on offer. The day finished with a Catch and Throw tournament which forms a part of the annual 1st Year Cup.
A special thanks to the 5th Year Leaving Cert PE class for aiding the running of the activities throughout the day.

Extra-curricular sports and clubs will begin over the next few weeks. Please remind your daughter to check Teams regurlarly to find the timetable of activities.

After a long bus journey, our TY students arrived at Colaiste Acla. Today they are enjoying the waves off Achill Island as they learn to surf.

We held our annual HFSS Sports Day on the 10th of May. The day began with the traditional dress up parade involving the 6th years and their English teachers. Then the activities began with rounders, dance, multisport, benchball and races. The day concluded with the annual 6th years versus teachers basketball match where the teachers continued their winning streak.
A great day was had by all made better by the ice cream from the ice cream van, the tunes from the DJ and the lovely weather.
