The Official Opening and Blessing of our School was held on Thursday June 21st. We were delighted to have so many parents and past pupils of the Model attend. The day consisted of a Service in our new PE hall led by Rev. Cliff, then the Most Rev. Dr. Michael Jackson, Archbishop of Dublin and Glendalough cut the ribbon and unveiled a plaque to mark the opening. Afterwards everyone was invited for tea and refreshments in the school assembly room. We would like to thank everyone who helped out to make this day possible, parents, clergy, the B.O.M and the Parents Association who all contributed to this special occasion.
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.
