On the 13th of September 5th-6th class visited a World War 1 Exhibition in Athy Library. The pupils were able to witness a replica of what life was like in the trenches during the war. There was also records of many local family names who had fought during the war. It was a great way for the children to experience history as it gave them a real sense of the conditions and hardships associated with the time. An enjoyable trip was had by all.
Athy Model School Ethos
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.
