Our TY students were in flying form during Activity week as they got to learn some Taekwon-Do with European and World Champion Mr. Hong Looi from the Nio Taekwon-Do Newbridge club -new skills and great fun had by all.

Transition Years have been busy in class making Christmas decorations. 

On Thursday the 24th of November, we celebrated our school's beloved Festival of Flavours for the fourth year in a row. This much-anticipated annual tradition was first established by our 2019-2020 school captain, Mehetabel Ojienor, and soon became a favourite amongst students.

During this day, students of different cultural backgrounds and heritage come together toshare food from their culture with the rest of the school. Participants are also encouraged to display their talents - be it singing, dancing, or playing an instrument - and traditional clothing at this event.
This year's festival was a wild success, involving 23 countries and over a hundred participants, who worked hard to raise over €800 for the Dining Room; a local charity providing food and basic necessities to all those who need it.
This was in no small part due to this year's wonderful organisers: Ms. Lynch, Ms. Croke and, of course, the Festival of Flavours Student Committee, lead by our very own Melodie Aremu.

This event has quickly become a staple of Holy Family Secondary School and we hope to maintain its place within our walls for many years to come.

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!
