What a day! Our fabulous First Years had an unforgettable time at *Emerald Park* today — from screaming on the roller coasters to laughing non-stop on every twist, turn, and splash!
They were brilliantly behaved and full of energy from start to finish — a credit to themselves and the school!

Congratulations to Meadbh Patricia Harnett, who was a finalist in the Healthy Chef Competition held yesterday at St. Angela’s / ATU Sligo.

Meadbh showcased her culinary skills with a delicious, well-balanced dish:
Pistachio & Hazelnut-Crusted Fillet of Cod with Shallot, Lemon & Crème Fraîche Sauce, accompanied by Fish Skin Crackling.
Served with Garlic & Rosemary Roasted Potatoes & Carrots and Sautéed Broccoli.

Although Meadbh didn’t place 1st, 2nd, or 3rd in the All Ireland Senior Final, being selected as one of the 16 finalists among over 600 students across Ireland is a tremendous achievement — especially for the second year in a row.

We are so proud of her for representing Holy Family Secondary School with such skill, dedication, and creativity. A big thank you to the school, the Home Economics Department, and her teacher Ms. J. Byrne for their support and guidance.

Well done, Meadbh! ️

Thank you,
The Home Economics Department

This week, TY students engaged in climate action workshops. They investigated global climate issues, identifying possible causes, consequences and solutions. A big thank you to Claudio from Self Help Africa who delivered these interactive and engaging workshops!

Our 1st year students took part in a very competitive soccer competition on Wednesday as part of Active School Week. Students had great fun competing for their base class group and certainly enjoyed the brilliant weather!

The 5th year School Tour took place today. They went to Goquest Carrickmines and Dundrum Shopping Centre. A great day. Very successful and enjoyable.

To kick off Term 3, our senior Art students took part in an inspiring ceramics workshop led by artist and HFSS alumna Eleanor Swan. 

Best of luck to Bronagh Malone (TY) who is playing in the U16 Camogie All Ireland Final this Saturday against Laois in Coralstown Kinnegad GAA. A fantastic opportunity, well done.
