A huge congratulations

 to 5th year students Sarah Moran and Katelyn Dennehy, who competed in the first ever Miss Ireland Teen competition. The girls took part in various workshops and rehearsals leading up to the final on May 4th, when they underwent a challenging process that tested their skills in debating and public speaking, and their involvement in charity work, modelling, sports, and talent sections. Katelyn won the talent section with a lyrical dance and Sarah Moran was crowned Miss Ireland Teen 2024. As part of the ‘Teens for change’ initiative, Sarah will now be involved in events and charity work with Miss Ireland and Miss Universe Ireland, as well as being invited to be an ambassador for The Hope Foundation. All here in Holy Family wish you the very best of luck Sarah. Well done to both girls, you have done yourselves proud, as well as your families and your wider communities

We were delighted to have the Newbridge Parish Novena icon in school this week. The icon is dedicated to Mary, our Heavenly Mother. 

The history and place of the Holy Family Secondary School in the wider context of the local community, and parish, will be celebrated at the Novena to Our Lady Of Perpetual Help, on Monday, 20th May at 7pm in St. Conleth's Parish Church. 

Further details about the Novena and the icon can be read on the Parish website at https://newbridgeparish.ie/news/novena-of-perpetual-help

The Parents' Association has gifted a fantastic work of art to the HFSS school community. The newest art installation is a liquid metal design on plaster, by artist, Barry Lyons. The working clock is incorporated into the HFSS school crest and sits high above one of the busiest corridors of our school.

This beautiful gift was made possible by the fundraising efforts of the Parents' Association. Such artworks can spark the imagination, encouraging students to think more creatively about the world around them.

A beautiful clock, keeping us all on time and also reminding us to have the best of school times. Thank you to all of the Parents' Association for all that they do and to all who continue to support our school.
