Dear parents/guardians,

A final reminder that the closing date for FIRST YEAR enrolment applications is tomorrow (Tuesday, 24th October) by 1pm.

A form for any sister coming to HFSS next year, must be submitted to by this date and time or it is considered a LATE application.

We are very happy to support any of our families with this process- please don't hesitate to call if you need any assistance.

We hope to have the first Clothes Bin collection (Parents' Association fundraiser) over the mid term break so please send any clothes bags to the school during any school day before the school mid-term break begins this Friday (27th). The bags can be left at reception.

Kind regards

Well done to all of our Transition Year students who received their Junior Cycle results today.

Congratulations to you all for learning with determined focus to achieve your own individual goals. Thank you to all of the HFSS staff and teachers for continuously supporting HFSS students to their successes.

In order to facilitate final preparations for the HFSS Open Evening & Transition Year EXPO this Thursday, school will finish for students at 1pm.

A reminder again to please return an application form if there is a sister looking to start at HFSS for the next school year. Application forms are available on the website to download or from reception. The closing date is fast approaching.

Lastly, a reminder also about our Parents' Association clothes collection bin at school for unwanted clothes donations.

REMINDER- PARENTS' ASSOCIATION AGM tonight

7.30pm Monday 9th October 2023 at the Holy Family Secondary School

Dear Parents and Guardians,

 It is the start of a new school year; therefore, we would like to invite you to the AGM of the Parents Association of the Holy Family Secondary school. The AGM will be followed by a short Parents Association meeting.

 As parents and guardians of the students attending the Holy Family Secondary School, you automatically belong to the Parents Association. The Association meets one Monday each month at 7.30pm in the school.

 Our role in the school

· Review and advice, as required, with the principal and staff on school policies.

· Fundraising for the benefit of the school, e.g., Christmas raffle.

· Build effective partnership between school and the home.

· Maintain communication with the school and keep up to date with school news.

· We seek to support and promote the wellbeing of the school, the students and each other.

We are always looking for fresh ideas to bring to our school community and parents are one of our greatest resources. With that in mind we are always looking for new members to join our association. We would encourage you to come and get involved.

 If you cannot attend the meeting but would like to be included on a mailing list, you may email your contact details to <28>hfssparentsassociation@gmail.com. 

We look forward to seeing you.

Caoimhe O'Connor- Chairperson
