Well done to our TY Law team who competed in the Mock Trial Competition today against Presentation Kilkenny. The team have been working hard to prepare a case for both defence and prosecution with only one side getting to perform on the day. 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!

Our first Sports Day since 2019 was a resounding success. The day began with our famous 6th year dress up parade which produced a few surprises and plenty of laughs. Students participated in an array of activities including benchball, dance. multisport. rounders, field games and team races. Well done to the green team who were the overall winners on the day. Things got even more competitive in the student-teacher basketball match, a ferocious battle and the closest match in the history of the contest #Sportsday #HFSS

Active Schools Week concluded today with dance aerobics for all students from 1st to 6th year. Although the weather put a stop to our “Jog a Mile” plans, that didn’t dampen our spirits! From tag rugby to soccer tournaments and plenty of steps in between, it certainly has been a very active week in our school. #getmoving #ASW22

6th years did a cycle in school today as part of the Headstrong programme under the Cycle Against Suicide programme. They cycled a total of 281km over the 4 hour cycle, the equivalent of cycling from Newbridge to Derry. This event raised some much needed funds for two very worthy causes, Pieta House and the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association. Well done 6th years!
