Good afternoon everyone and welcome back to the second half of Term 2. Thank you for your recent feedback in the February survey. Consequently, from tomorrow TUESDAY, 23rd February, we are going to amend our school day timetable while we are in remote school. We hope that these changes will give our students the important time needed for more regular screen breaks and more frequent fresh air and activity breaks. What do these changes mean? Every class is MAX 50 minutes. 10 minute break (minimum) between each class 25 minute morning break 60 minutes Lunch hour Class 1: 8.45am-9.35 (10 minute break before Class 2) Class 2: 9.45am-10.35 Break: 10.35am-11.00 (25 minutes- fresh air and screen time break) Class 3: 11.00am-11.50 (10 minute break before Class 4) Class 4: 12.00pm-12.50 Lunch hour 12.50pm- 1.50pm (one hour for fresh air and screen time break) Class 5: 1.50pm-2.40pm (10 minute break before Class 6) Class 6: 2.50pm -3.40pm For LIVE classes: Microphones – All students' microphones must be on and working for live classes. If there are any issues at all please contact reception@holyfamily.ie Cameras- will now be switched on as the norm for live classes. This is at the subject teacher's discretion. Students who have any technical issues with cameras for camera-on classes need to keep in contact with the subject teacher. We hope that this improves our students' experience of remote school. A reminder that if any student needs additional support, our school counsellors are available and can be contacted via reception@holyfamily.ie

A special congratulations to the TY students who participated in our 'What's in the Fridge?' challenge. They were asked to plan and make a breakfast, lunch or dinner using the resources they had available to them. They also researched food waste in Ireland to find out how they could plan use up leftovers to make their dishes. They displayed excellent creativity and innovative ways to combat food waste and make the most of resources they already had. Reminder to all students that you can enter pictures of your baking/cooking/sewing in the ATHE Déanta le Grá competition. Swipe for more details on how to enter.
