16. To all the First Year students and their fabulous tutors!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
From Hayley 
La la la la ...
I'm wishing on a star
And trying to believe
That even though it's far
He'll find me at Christmas Eve
I guess Santa is busy
Cause he never comes around
I think of him when Christmas comes to town
The best time of the year
When everyone comes home
With all this Christmas tear
It's hard to be alone
Putting up the Christmas tree
With friends you come around
It's so much fun when Christmas comes to town
Presents for the children wrapped in red and green
All the things I've heard about, but never really see
No one will be sleeping on the night of Christmas Eve
Hoping Santa's on his way
“我向星星许愿，并坚持相信，圣诞老人确实存在。我想，他一定很忙，不然不会不来看我。圣诞来临时，我总会想到圣诞老人，那是一年中最好的时光，所有的人都回家团聚，朋友们聚在一起竖起圣诞树。平安夜里，没有人睡觉，大家都翘首盼望圣诞老人的降临。他驾着的雪橇铃声响起，我听到了，四周全是鹿铃声……”
When Santa's sleigh bells ring
I listen all around
The herald angels sing
I never hear a sound
And all the dreams of children
Once lies will all be found
That's all I want when Christmas comes to town

17. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of the Second Years
Enjoy your break – Be kind to each other and your families – Stay safe
Best wishes from Ciara and all of your tutors

18. Message from Seán, Year Head to 5th Years
Dear students of Hansfield ETSS, 
Thanks to everyone for your efforts so far in school this year. Some efforts have been big, some efforts have been small, but all are appreciated. Not everyone will always see the good/kind/decent things you do for people, but the important thing is that you keep doing the decent thing - because it is the right thing to do. Saying hi to someone could help them feel like they're not alone. Happy Christmas. Keep well & keep safe. 
Seán

19. Message from Bernie Judge, Principal
Greetings and good wishes as you get ready for a much deserved rest from Friday.
There has been some great highlights, a good number of laughs and thankfully not much upset or tears during the term.
Well done  and a big thank you to  everyone for their efforts.  
This week is another really busy week ahead with lots of action such as the Enterprise Fair, out of school trips and a Talent Show during which there will be some prizes and treats. So hang on in there and enjoy the last few days of term and in the spirit of Hansfield ETSS be especially kind and helpful to each other.
Bernie
