Holy Family Secondary School Parents' Association Christmas Raffle

• As we welcome our students back to HFSS after the October mid-term break, I would like to take this opportunity to compliment our students on their respect for our school community protocols and expected behaviours at school. As part of this ongoing work, our Year Heads will have a uniform check tomorrow. It is important to be consistent with learning about the high standards that we expect for our students at HFSS. As we have previously communicated, the HFSS school uniform allows for greater student equity, school cohesion and allows for the focus to be on learning. Thank you for your continued support in this important area. The school uniform policy is in all of the students' journals.
• In the next few weeks, most of our students will begin their November assessment exams. Teachers have been guiding the students to prepare and there will be another week of Study Skills preparation next week.
• The Parents' Association has arranged for Wayne Denner to speak to the parent body next Monday, 13th November at 7pm in school. Wayne Denner is a Technology and Online Safety Specialist. "Wayne inspires and empowers Parents to take control with practical advice and tips to protect their family" www.waynedenner.com/

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.
