Today we held our annual 1st Year Sports Day. Throughout the day the students got to sample many of the extra-curricular sports we have on offer. The day finished with a Catch and Throw tournament which forms a part of the annual 1st Year Cup.
A special thanks to the 5th Year Leaving Cert PE class for aiding the running of the activities throughout the day.

We held our annual HFSS Sports Day on the 10th of May. The day began with the traditional dress up parade involving the 6th years and their English teachers. Then the activities began with rounders, dance, multisport, benchball and races. The day concluded with the annual 6th years versus teachers basketball match where the teachers continued their winning streak.
A great day was had by all made better by the ice cream from the ice cream van, the tunes from the DJ and the lovely weather.

On Friday May 3rd our first ever Pitch and Putt teams competed in the Leinster Secondary Schools Competition in Lucan. We sent two teams of three to the event made up of students from 1st to 3rd year. On the day they were competing against other school's teams in a 36 hole strokeplay competition. The girls gave a great account of themselves and were happy with their performance in their first outing for the school.
Unbeknownst to the girls, one of the teams had won the girls section of the competition and were presented with their medals in the school today by Breda Brophy of Pitch and Putt Ireland.

We are delighted to announce that Amelia Kogut Burkatska in TY was selected as the winning sketch artist at the PAL National Mock Trial Competiton in the Criminal Courts of Justice with 24 schools from all over the country taking part.
