Transition Year students Grace Murphy, Rebecca Loftus and Clodagh Kelly travelled to Galway on Friday, to represent our school at the “F1 in Schools” All-Ireland Final. The team ranked 16th out of the 65 competing teams on the day and were nominated for best newcomer. This was a huge achievement as it was the first time the school had ever entered this competition. The girls were complimented on their car design and it’s speed (it raced down the 20 meter track in 1.367 seconds) and the girls were thrilled with how the car performed. Thanks to Mrs. Loftus and Mrs. Murphy who travelled with the girls Friday and to their teacher Ms Whelan.

The Intelligent Transport Ireland programme reached it’s conclusion for this year’s TY group today. This programme has been running since the start of the year with students learning about transport systems, mobility and accessibility. They applied their problem solving skills to complete a group project on Newbridge. A winning project from each class was chosen by ITS as well as overall winners Katie O’Connor, Aoibhe O’Connor and Dominika Stisz from 4i. The winning project was on the new cycle lane system in Newbridge and has already opened up discussion with Kildare County Council. Today, TY students also heard a number of interesting presentations on careers in engineering. Congratulations to our winners and thanks to all in ITS and the HFSS Geography Department.

Holy Family Secondary School TY students have been working with World Wise Global Schools (WWGS) this year and it is with great pride we have been awarded The Citizen’s Passport Award - for school's emerging engagement with GCE (Bronze). This year our students highlighted and raised awareness on the topic of 'Reduced inequalities'. Student benefitted from their own research and action on the topic and the funds allocated by WWGS also allowed for interaction with role models in this realm such as Nigerian Irish poet Felicia Olusanya (Felispeaks) and Kurdish Leitrim hurler Zak Moradi who visited students. Well done to all involved!

Unfortunately, the verdict didn't go our way today but our team did their school and teachers proud. Our thanks to Barrister Peter Paul Hughes who held a very informative and insightful questions and answers session afterwards for our upcoming legal eagles. Well done to all!
