3rd and 4th Class recently planted vegetables in a plot at the side of the school. The pupils set potatoes, onions, carrots and lettuce. We hope to see some signs of growth in the coming weeks! Many thanks to Barbara Cole who gave very generously of her time to guide the children through each step in planting the vegetables.
Athy Model School is a primary school under the patronage of the Department of Education, with a Church of Ireland ethos. We endeavour to enable each child to acquire a set of moral values based on the ethos of the school.
We encourage parents and children to involve themselves in the activities of both the Church of Ireland community and the wider community. However, we have due recognition of all other beliefs and cultures and we respect cultural and religious diversity.
