Hard luck to the Senior Soccer team who’s season came to an end yesterday after losing in the last 16 of the league knockouts.
For the 6th years it marks an end of their soccer experience in HFSS. They have been incredible role models for the younger students over the past 4 years we have had soccer in the school. In fact, this year marks the girls first year of not winning a medal.

Today Tuesday 4th March, Ms. Kennedy's and Ms O' Dea's 1st year Science classes took part in a live Microsoft Dreamspace Event to celebrate Engineers Week. The students got to listen to some inspiring Engineers talk about their careers in Engineering and talk part in a fun, engaging introduction to coding session using microbit coding. Students can continue exploring their interest in this area on the following link. There are lots of coding tutorials to complete.

The 3rd years were recently at Solas Bhríde in Kildare for their religion retreat. Thank you to Father Joe McGrath from ThrowFire for facilitating this day. Thank you to the 3rd year religion teachers for planning this. It was enjoyed by all

Our 2nd year Spanish classes had a great morning tasting some Spanish food. A great cultural experience that links well with Diversity week. The students got to experience elements of Spanish culture and try new cuisine.

Our 2nd and 3rd year Junior rugby team travelled to Clane RFC to take part in a qualifying blitz for the Leinster finals next week. While the girls enjoyed a good win against KTCS, they unfortunately fell short against strong Ardscoil Na Trionoide Athy and St Paul's Monasterevin sides and missing out on a qualifying spot. Well done to the girls for the great display of skills and many thanks to Leinster Rugby as always for organising.

Well done to the 5th and 6th year footballers who competed in the 7’s competition hosted by Carlow SETU. Our team competed brilliantly against but came up just short in the final.
