The Holy Family School for the Deaf are hosting a fundraising Golf Classic event on Friday 22nd April 2022 in St Margaret’s Golf & Country Club, Co Dublin. All funds raised via this event will go towards a new 18 seater bus for Holy Family School for the Deaf. It is very important that the Holy Family Deaf School can fully engage with learning in external environments. A new bus can be used to bring our students on educational field trips for example a trip to the Print Museum, National Art Gallery, Kildare National Studs, Titanic in Belfast and so much more.
We would truly appreciate if your company/organisation would consider being involved in our event.

The HSE continue to rollout the COVID-19 vaccination programme and with over 90% of those aged 12 years and above fully vaccinated. For anyone aged 12 and over who hasn’t had their COVID-19 vaccine yet; dose 1 or 2 they can register on https://vaccine.hse.ie/ for an appointment in a HSE clinic. People can also talk to their GP or local pharmacy about getting their COVID-19 vaccine. Booster clinics are also open for eligible people aged 16 years and older. Visit www.hse.ie for more information.
COVID-19 vaccine for children aged 5 to 11 years The National Immunisation Advisory Committee (NIAC) recommends parents and guardians consider vaccinating their 5 to 11-year-old children. COVID-19 vaccine is particularly recommended if children:
· Have a health condition that puts them at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19
· live with a younger child or adult who is at risk of severe illness if they get COVID-19 e.g. another child with complex medical needs, or an immunocompromised adult The vaccine that will be offered to children aged 5 to 11 years is Comirnaty® Children’s formulation.
Children in this age group will be given a smaller dose of the vaccine than adults.
Parents and guardians can register their child for their vaccine online at https://vaccine.hse.ie/.
As part of this stage of the COVID-19 vaccination programme, information for people considering vaccinating their children including information about the benefits and risk of vaccination and information about how to get vaccinated is available on https://bit.ly/HSEC19511
A cartoon strip has also been developed to help children understand what will happen when they go to a HSE clinic to get their COVID-19 vaccine https://bit.ly/C19Cartoon511
Getting COVID-19 vaccines with other vaccines NIAC advises that children aged 5 to 11 years wait at least 2 weeks between getting a COVID-19 vaccine and other vaccines, like the flu vaccine or 4 in 1 and MMR vaccines. Children aged 2 to 17 years can get the free nasal flu vaccine through participating GPs and pharmacies until the end of this month. Information about the flu vaccination programme is available on the HSE website at www.hse.ie/flu. A list of pharmacies giving flu vaccines is also available on https://bit.ly/PhFluFinder Children in Junior Infants may also be due their 4 in 1 and MMR vaccine, school teams will work with your school to ensure where possible the vaccination programme continues and children whose parents have consented for them to receive 4in1 and MMR vaccine can do so.
Consent Only parent(s) and legal guardian(s) are entitled to provide consent for vaccination for students under 16 years of age. A video covering information about consent is available from our office YouTube Channel at https://youtu.be/vE1X5AcwNgE
Further information on COVID-19 vaccines we recommend visiting the HSE website www.hse.ie/COVID19Vaccine.
***** UPDATE ***** In light of Dublin moving into Orange alert within the last hour, the Board of Management have decided it is safer if our pupils and staff are not travelling during this period.

The Minister’s statement is very welcome but we need assurances from the HSE that the current in school SLT post will be retained permanently and our pupils can access additional supports from the HSE team local to Cabra. @HSELive@marie_sherlock@MarkWall1https://t.co/vLxL5DLo0J

This is very welcome. Thank you Minister @AnneRabbitte .@HFSchoolDeaf1 has always said that a permanent on-site specialist speech and language therapy service is absolutely crucial for the pupils' development and their education.
On Thursday 25 February Holy Family School is inviting students, staff, family, friends and the deaf community of all ages to get reading.
Why? Because taking some time for yourself to relax and do the things you enjoy (like reading) is important to help look after your mental wellbeing.
Please pick up your favourite book and 1. READ 2. Time yourself reading 3. Email wellread@holyfamilydeaf.com your time and a selfie of you reading your book (optional)
Happy Reading!!!
Great to see our staff involved in our new book club. The first book they will be reading is The Dark Room by Sam Blake. We will have an opportunity to talk to Sam Blake on the 4th of March World Book Day to discuss her book! @LiteracyLink1@jcsplibraries#IrelandReads#Wellbeinghttps://t.co/ojqCBUK6tT

We are continuing our preparations for the return to school this Thursday 11th February.
Thank you to parents & Guardians who have already emailed Eugene Doyle Deputy Principal /School Office to notify us of your decision regarding your son or daughter’s return to school.
Please see below the schedule for pupil attendance in each section of the school; Early Intervention, Primary & Post Primary up to the end of March 2021.
Please note: This schedule may change inline with public health advice and Department of Education and Skills directives.
We have devised a schedule which best meets the Department’s requirement of a 50% capacity each day and which maximizes socially distancing. The post primary 6th Year exam classes 6A & 6B have been prioritized for daily attendance.
I know some pupils will be very disappointed that they are not scheduled to return this week. We very much regret this, but we have tried to be as fair as possible to all class groups. We look forward to their return after the mid term break.
Please do not send your son or daughter to school on the days they are not scheduled to attend. If this happens we will phone you to come to the school to collect your child.
We will share the schedule of pupil attendance with Bus Éireann, but it is the parent/guardian’s responsibility to inform the bus driver of the days your son or daughter will be attending school.
Early Intervention
Early Intervention: very regretfully, due to staff illness, and health and safety concerns, Early Intervention will NOT reopen until Monday 22nd February 2021.
The Early Intervention teachers and SNAs will continue to support remote learning to the end of this week.
