The Under 15 soccer team travelled to Tullamore today to play Sacred Heart in the last 16 of the cup competition. After a quick start HFSS found themselves 2-0 up after 5 minutes. By half time the girls were 4 up and dominating possession. The second half started slowly and Sacred Heart pulled one back from a penalty. As both sides made changes HFSS scored the final two goals of the game. The girls will play their Leinster Quarterfinal at home before the Christmas break. Scorers: Sadie Daly (2) Ella Donellan, Eva Filgate, Lily O'Connor, Tara Christie

Anti-Bullying Staff Training

Archived : 25 Jan 2022, 12:00 AM
Dear parents/guardians There will be no school for students on Monday, 6th December as school staff will participate in anti-bullying training on that day. Our school is currently involved with two anti-bullying focused initiatives, the 'FUSE' programme (with Dublin City University) and the 'Helping Hands Anti Bullying Programme' (with a specific focus on 'hidden bullying') At HFSS, we know that the key to addressing bullying, within the school environment, is the fostering of an ethos under which bullying is unacceptable. Our school wide anti-bullying ethos is enhanced and supported by: The ongoing evaluation of the HFSS Anti-Bullying Policy and robust protocols for intervention. A respectful and safe school environment that encourages the disclosure of bullying behaviour and ensures that there is a zero-tolerance culture for bullying behaviour. Anti-bullying awareness raising measures and restorative practice approach amongst teachers, students and parents. Ongoing evaluation of the overall effectiveness of the anti-bullying work at HFSS. Dublin City University Anti-Bullying Centre FUSE team will be hosting a FREE parents webinar for all FUSE participating schools, such as HFSS. This will take place on Tuesday, December 14th from 7 pm to 8 pm.

Our third bite of the Festival of Flavours took place today. This food festival celebrates the rich and diverse culture within our school. We have 15 different first-generation countries within the school, and in total, 18 stands were displayed. The quality and diversity of food available was absolutely wonderful to see! Our students brought in traditional food from their home countries, such as Jollof Rice (spicy Nigerian rice), Pierogi (Polish dumplings), Roccos (Spanish biscuits), and Ube Cake (purple yam cake from the Philippines), Tiramisu from Italy, Samosas from India, and of course the traditional Irish Soda Bread. Students were asked down in class groups and paid an entry fee of €2 to sample an array of world cuisine. €1010.50 was raised for Teach Tearmainn - a charity which supports women who have been affected by domestic violence and abuse.

We have been celebrating LGBT+, inclusion and awareness in HFSS over the past two weeks. In tutor time last week students took part in an LGBT+ awareness lesson and today, surrounded by rainbow flags and bunting and with our pride flag proudly hanging from our flagpole, HFSS students and staff wore all the colours of the rainbow to support inclusiveness and diversity. HFSS values the importance of ensuring that that our school environment is a place where students feel welcome and safe, and that all young people learn about equality, diversity and inclusion. Well done to the SRC for organising our Rainbow Day.

18th November 2021 Covid 19 Guidelines for Close Contacts 
Created : 18 Nov 2021, 1:36 PM

Dear Parents/Guardians, the revised COVID 19 guidelines focus on close contacts of a positive case in a domestic setting (family household) and offer guidance in terms of restricting movement and testing. This new advice states that all members of a household, even if fully vaccinated, must now restrict their movements for 5 days and take 3 antigen tests within that period if a member of that household is Covid positive. If any member of a household displays symptoms they should contact their doctor to arrange a PCR test or book one on line using the HSE website. We want to commend our parents/guardians for being so proactive in this regard.  If your child is not vaccinated and is deemed to be a close contact of a positive case, they must restrict his movements for 14 days and take a PCR test on day 0 and day 10.                                          Close contacts: New advice that comes into immediate effect is that household close contacts who are fully vaccinated and showing no symptoms should now restrict their movements until they have three negative antigen test results within five days.                            Antigen tests should be taken in this order:                                                                                                                                                                 • First test on the day you receive your tests                                                                                                                                                                • Second test two days after your first test                                                                                                                                                                  • Third test two days after your second test.     www2.hse.ie/conditions/covid19/testing/
