We are priveleged in Holy Family Senior School to have a Home School Community Liaison co-ordinator. Carmel Flannery was appointed as Home School Community Liaison co-ordinator (HSCL) at Holy Family in September 2008. The aim of the HSCL scheme is to promote partnership and cooperation between home, school and the community to make sure that every child participates fully in the education system.

The HSCL scheme recognises parents as the primary educators of their children. The HSCL coordinator is there to support you, the parent, and assist you in your role as parents and educators. The way in which the HSCL co-ordinator can offer you support is by informing you of educational and financial supports in place in the school.

Classes are organised regularly for parents. Classes which have been held in HFSS include:

• English for non-English speaking parentsMaths for funChristmas Crafts
• Cookery

Parents are invited to take part in these worthwhile classes. For any further information, please contact Carmel Flannery on 0866040686, between 9am and 3pm, Monday to Friday.
