The HFSS Additional Needs team will be working with parents and students in the upcoming weeks on the state exam supports for Junior (3rd year) and Leaving Certificate (6th year) students. The State Examinations Commission (known as the SEC) has confirmed the dates for applications for Reasonable Accommodation for Certificate Exams (this is known as 'RACE') for students in Junior and Leaving Certificate this year. The forms will be issued to schools in early October. The SEC circular states “that the criteria for learning difficulty cases will not change from 2021.” Therefore, schools can begin preparing and doing any testing (where required) now following the issue of this circular (S48/21). The application deadline for Leaving Cert. students is November 5th 2021. The application deadline for Junior Cert. students is January 14th 2022. In addition, there are further deadlines for both late and emergency applications outlined in the circular which is available at www.examinations.ie/schools/EN-1013-18562364.pdf The HFSS Additional Needs Coordinator and Additional Needs team of teachers and SNAs work alongside parents and all staff to support our students' abilities and needs.

Mary Ferris, artist and sculptor has gifted a bronze of Saint Brigid to our school community. Saint Brigid was born in 454 and was the founder of the first monastery in County Kildare.. There are many stories of her piety and her deep concern for the poor who were never turned away. Saint Brigid became known for her kindness, generosity and faith and the making of the cross of rushes became synonymous with her and the tradition now bears her name. She is one of the Patron Saints of Ireland, along with St Patrick and St Columcille. A beautiful gift, gratefully received.
