On Friday, 8th of March, students from TY exhibited their projects in our first in-house SciFest@School in Holy Faith Clontarf. SciFest is a national STEM fair programme for second-level students, encouraging a love of STEM and inquiry-based learning. The programme is funded primarily by Intel Ireland, Boston Scientific, EirGrid, Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and the Department of Education. Students demonstrated their knowledge of science, technology, engineering, and maths through their creative and innovative projects. The overall prize went to “Effects of Sedentary Lifestyle on Students Ability to Learn” by Aoibheann Conlon, Emma Phelan, and Sally Flynn. Runner up prize and the “EirGrid Cleaner Climate” rosette went to a project about using a kinetic floor to harness energy: “Are the Coldplay bikes the solution to the energy crisis?” by Dervla Conlon and Natalie Kilcullen. There was also a best display and booklet writeup award that went to “Two Liters of Water Everyday – Ordinary or Unnecessary?” by Ana Walsh, Rachel Ardiff, and Rosie Cudden. A big thank you goes to 5th years BT Young Scientists 2024 category award winners Caoimhe Mc Caul and Cara Mulligan, and rosette winners Phoenix Hickson-Pitt, Marianne McGovern, and Sara Hanney, for judging alongside Ms Culloty and Ms Carragher. Thank you also to Ms O’Brien for organizing the event, and to second year teachers who allowed the girls come see the fair. Commenting on the success of the science fair Sheila Porter, Founder and CEO of SciFest added: “Since its nationwide launch in 2011, SciFest@School has grown remarkably. I am consistently impressed by the enthusiasm and commitment shown by the students. SciFest@School serves as a vibrant celebration of STEM subjects, encouraging students to extend beyond the confines of the classroom, apply their scientific knowledge, and engage in creative and investigative projects. The accomplishments of these students are truly inspiring, reflecting not only their own efforts but also the dedication and support provided by their teachers.”
Green Schoos Clothes Swap

Today HFC Green Schools held the HFC annual Clothes Swap. This is a very successful event involving all year groups. Students bring in an item of clothing that they dont wear or wore once or twice. They get a ticket per item and can then use the ticket to get something else in the event. The idea to teach about swapping clothes instead of letting clothes end up in landfills. To preserve our Naural Resources and swap instead of binning and buying new. Well done, especially to Phenoix Hickson-Pitt and Fae Doherty for leading today.

Today is Le Chéile Day, a special day where we celebrate the ethos and values of the Le Chéile Schools Trust. The trust was formed in 2009 when the Holy Faith Sisters, along with several other religious congregations, joined together to continue their mission in education.

This year’s theme is ‘Spreading Kindness in Le Chéile Schools’, reminding us of the importance of compassion, respect, and community in our school . Well done to the prefect Ethos Committee for playing a key role in celebrating the day.
