The Heineken Rugby Cup paid a visit to the school recently. It was a super surprise for all of our rugby loving pupils! The Cup was passed around and each of the children got to hold it. Most were amazed at how heavy it was, it weighed 5 Kg. A big thank you to Athy RFC and the Leinster Branch for facilitating this visit. It was a day the pupils won’t forget.
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.
