Dear Friend,
We are reaching out to request your support for our upcoming school musical extravaganza, “Popstars: The 90’s Musical,” which will be held at Holy Family Secondary School from October 14th to 17th, 2024.
After a hugely successful production of ‘Grease’ last year, both our school communities understand the value that drama has for our students. The students from both the Holy Family and Patrician Secondary Schools are busy rehearsing. We look forward to the months to come.
Would you like to be a patron of this year’s school show?
Your support to our school community is invaluable. It would be motivating for the students of both schools to feel that they have the backing of the local community.
As a patron of the show, your namewill be featured in our Show programme in recognition of your support.
Option A (without a ticket to the show)
€50
Option B (with a discounted adult ticket)
€60
Our programme will be finalised on the 1stOctober, 2024. Please email me with the selected option before this date in order to have your name featured in the programme in recognition of your support.
On behalf of the students and staff, thank you for reading this letter.

As you may be aware our school is working towards an Active Schools Flag. Each year the students complete a questionnaire around their physical activity levels, barriers to physical activities and things they would like to see in the school that may improve physical activity levels. The results of this questionnaire form the data around which all Active Schools initiatives in the school are based. There is further information surrounding the research in the pdf attached and also in the video: vimeo.com/616922710/cacc13464b?share=copy
The questionnaire will be administered to all 1st Years in their next PE class.
Consent is required in order for your daughter to complete this questionnaire. If you have read and understood the information on the attached form, have read and explained the information to your child, and are happy for your child to take part in the survey there is NOTHING you need to do.
If you DO NOT want your child to take part in the survey please discuss this with your daughter and she can let the PE teacher know that she will not be taking part.
Many thanks,
Mr. E. Beggy
(Active Schools Co-Ordinator)
