What a fantastic start to Maths Week. Our Transition Years students and 6th years did a Juggling Maths workshop with Mr Math Weeney. It was exciting, fun, interactive and engaging. Our students learnt some soft skills today on how to juggle and how to make a connection with Quadratic Equation. They learnt how to plot points of the juggling experience onto co -ordinate graph, identify the turning point and explore algebra. It was the most exciting mathematical lesson in Holy Family School. Not only did Mr Math Weeney enhance our students’ numerical skills he also injected some fun literacy activity into the workshop where students had to create an acrostic poem with the letters in JUGGLE. Special thanks to Eoin Gill from Maths Week Ireland for helping to make this workshop possible and inclusive by proving an ISL Interpreter. Thank you Mr Math Weeney for such a fun mathematical afternoon!

Well done to 3C Class and TY1 for teaching students from Castleknock College Irish Sign Language. Our good friend Fr Stephan Monaghan organised this trip bringing the students from Castleknock College so that they can learn about the Deaf Community and Deaf Culture. They also learn about some of the social injustices in modern society and how Deaf people try to overcome them. We were very proud of our students for welcoming the students and confidently teaching them ISL.
We were delighted to welcome Liam back to Holy Family School to collect his plaque and HFSD 2021 Hoodie and graduation pack. Unfortunately, Liam couldn’t make the graduation in person but he and his family were able to celebrate with us virtually online. We would like to wish Liam the very best of luck in his future endeavors.

We were delighted to go on a physical trip to The Cowshed Gallery, Farmleigh to see Pluid -The National Comfort Blanket Art Exhibition. Two artists and sisters Claire Halpin and Madeline Hellier made a call out to the public to add to the National Comfort Blanket by creating artwork in any medium on a 6×6 inch square. Some of our students have artwork in the exhibition. They were delighted to see their work among the wonderful collection of 6 inches by 6 inches square canvas of artworks. Artworks will be auctioned online in aid of Pieta HOuse.
We will implement and follow the same safety control measures as last year to ensure that this will be a safe re-opening. It is important that we all follow these procedures to keep everyone safe and to prevent the spread of Covid-19. There will, undoubtedly, be some unforeseen challenges and we will deal with these as they arise.
