Holy Family School were honoured to work with Dublin Concert Band on the HEROS2US initiative. They thought it would be beautiful to have it signed in ISL and let the music and signs talk for themselves.
It was a small way for us to show our appreciation to all the Front Line Staff for what they are doing.
Thank you to Shirley and to everyone for taking part and special thanks to all our Front Line Staff – You are indeed our Heros <3

Holy Family School Staff created this imovie for DEAR (Drop Everything and Read), which is this Friday the 24th of April. We also want to let all our students know that we miss them very much and we wish them well and to keep safe. It is very important that everyone is looking after their well-being. We hope that all our students, staff, family and friends will drop everything on the 24th of April at 12 noon to READ for 20 minutes. You can read anything; it can be books, magazines, graphic novels, comic books, newspapers, digital library etc.
When Joe Duffy visited us last February to open our new Reading Room, he shared a quote with us, that is “Books will get you through times of no money better than money will ever get you through times of no books.” in other words, books will get us through challenging times. Happy Reading Everyone, and please send us pictures and/or photos of books you are reading for DEAR. Below is a photo of our students Shauna, Emma and Shane getting ready for DEAR challenge. Well done guys!

Here is the video (including ISL) of Sinéad Burke from today’s Home School Hub.
Sinéad is an activist, designer and educator. Sinéad has given a TED Talk, spoken at the World Economic Forum in Davos and she was the first little person to feature on the cover of British Vogue.
Sinéad makes every attempt to advocate for the inclusion of all and to amplify the voices of the most marginalised members in our communities.
Sinéad talks about her decision to become a teacher, her love of fashion and the importance of dreaming big.
