The annual Diocesan Service for 6th class was held in Christchurch recently. The pupils were accompanied by Mrs. Cole, Mrs. Griffin and Rev. Cliff. After the service we were allowed tour the crypt in Christchurch. Here the pupils saw a selection of interesting items including Tudor costumes and a mummified cat and rat! An enjoyable day was had by all.
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.
