Bhí Meánscoil an Chreidim Naofa ag glacadh páirte in Gaeilge24 arís i mbliana. Is dúshlán é Gaeilge24 a spreagann daltaí chun Gaeilge amháin a úsáid ar feadh 24 uair an chloig: sa bhaile, ar scoil agus gach aon áit eile. Tá an dúshlán á eagrú ag Conradh na Gaeilge. Bhí an dúshlán ar siúl Dé Máirt 15 Samhain 2022. Deis iontach a bhí ann chun do chuid Gaeilge a úsáid. Bhailigh gach dalta a bhí ag glacadh páirte €10. Tabharfar gach brabús do Chonradh na Gaeilge chun tacú le cur chun cinn na Gaeilge ar fud na hÉireann. Fuair gach dalta a bhí ag glacadh páirte sa dúshlán pacáiste tacaíochta chun cuidiú leo. Fuair siad t-léine, banda láimhe agus frásaí samplacha. Maith sibh gach duine a bhí ag glacadh páirte, rinne sibh sáriarracht. Mar a deir an seanfhocal, "tír gan teanga tír gan anam"
Once again Holy Faith Secondary School took part in Gaeilge24 this year. Gaeilge24 is a challenge which encourages pupils to speak exclusively in Irish for 24 hours: at home, in school and everywhere else. The challenge is organised by Conradh na Gaeilge. The challenge took place on Tuesday November 15th 2022. It was a great opportunity for students and staff to use their Irish. Every pupil who participated raised €10. Any profits made from the campaign this year will go towards Conradh na Gaeilge's efforts to promote and support the Irish language. Every pupil who participated received a support pack to help them on the day; including a t-shirt, a wristband and a leaflet with useful phrases. Well done everyone who participated, you made an excellent effort. As the saying goes, "A country without a language is a country without a soul"

Parent nominees are Mr Anthony Fallon and Ms Joanne Giles and teacher nominees are Mr Barry Hayden and Ms Caroline Lee.
While a report of each meeting of the Board is given at meetings of the Parents' Association, the Board decided to post the Agreed Statement to the school app and hopes that the school community can be more aware of the workings of the Board.
