Our fourth annual Festival of Flavours takes place tomorrow, Thursday 24th November. This food festival celebrates the rich and diverse culture within our school. We have 22 countries represented with over 100 students involved in creating this wonderful festival. Entry to the Festival for students is €2. All money collected this year will go to a local chariety - The Dining Room.

Unfortunately, yesterday turned out not to be Holy Family's day when the 1st Year Soccer team from 21/22 were defeated in the All Ireland final by Presentation College, Athenry. Despite a gallant effort the girls were beaten 2-1 after extra-time in Athlone Town AFC. 

The students playing would like to thank all the students, teachers and parents who have given them support over the past few months as they progressed through the rounds in the cup, sealing a Leinster title and before the final yesterday. These girls now move up to Under 15 level and will hope to go one step further this year.

A reminder that classes will finish at 3.30pm tomorrow Thursday 24th November to facilitate the 3rd Year Parent Teacher meeting.

Dear Parents/Guardians

Yesterday, we celebrated a national event for TY students, #Think Languages2022

Students watched the opening ceremony, took part in the live quiz and attended workshops including Chinese Art, Danish Design, Arabic & Bellydancing & Russian & Ballet. 

Our foreign language assistants Laura & Bente hosted a Christmas Cookie decorating workshop.

Thanks to our MFL teachers for facilitating a great morning for all our @HolyFamilyN TY students.

Big thanks to our Think Languages student committee for helping with the organisation, to our two language assistants for the fun workshop, and to all the TY students for taking part!

An exhibition of the photographs from our Photography Club is on display on the corridor at the back of the dining area. If any student wishes to join the club please contact Ms. Lynch on Teams.

Also a massive 'Thank You' to Fujifilm Newbridge for their kind sponsorship of the club.

A reminder of last week's notification:

As you may be aware, the HFSS First Year Soccer Team (2021/22) have made it to the All-Ireland Final (Coaches Mr. Beggy and Mr. Mulvey). These students are now in 2nd year. The All-Ireland takes place on Tuesday, 22nd November. (HFSS v Presentation College (Athenry)). This will be played in Athlone. We are inviting all students on the school's soccer teams, all 2nd years and all 3rd years to attend as supporters. This will be a nice opportunity to have a school supporters' day away in recognition of all the hard work that they have been doing. There will be a €10 charge for the bus for students, but the admission fee and other costs will be paid by the school. Students who do not wish to attend will have classes as normal. The bus money can be paid via the school app shop.

The closing date for payment was yesterday; however there are still a number of seats available on the buses. A request for payment can be found in the 'shop' section or Mr. Beggy will collect cash outside Ms. Kissane's office after 8.20 in the morning.

Dear parents / guardians,
