Our students have been taking time in their Religion classes this month to remember loved ones who have died. Each student has taken time to write the name of a loved one on a leaf. This leaf is now displayed on our Remembrance Board for the month of November.
Holy Family Secondary School Senior Gaelic Footballers had another comprehensive win in their Leinster championship group today over Ardscoil Rath Iomgháin. With victories already over St. Pauls of Monasterevin and Kildare Town Community School progress to the knockout stages will be guaranteed with a win over Pipers Hill in two weeks time.
Thank you also to DSV for sponsoring the new away strip that was sported for the game.
Well done to all involved.
Our u16 team played St.Mary’s of Naas today at home. A strong start by HFSS saw them leading by 6 points at half time. St.Mary’s battled back in the second half with a thrilling second half performance by both teams. In the end the HFSS team came away with a 1 point victory. Well done to all involved.
Last Thursday the 3rd year students enjoyed some tapas in our school. The girls tasted: tortilla de patatas, garbanzos con chorizo, palmeritas, jamón serrano, lomo y chorizo among other flavours. They also took home some recipes with them.
We can’t wait to hear back from our Spanish chefs!
The u16 Gaelic Football team were away to Sacred Heart Tullamore today for their first match of the year. A very wet and miserable day did not stop the HFSS girls from displaying their skills and teamwork. Unfortunately the result did not go our way losing out to a good Tullamore team with a score of 2-3 to 2-11. The girls did their school and clubs proud.
Our 6th year Home Economics students recently studied protein and completed a tasting session of alternative protein foods. They were great sports and tried 10 different products. They reflected on the taste, texture, appearance & aroma of the food products, and they studied the food label to examine the health claims and protein content of each food product.
