The rescheduled West Glendalough Children’s Festival took place on Tuesday June 19th. After a beautiful service in St. Mary’s Church Blessington we were treated to some teas and traybakes in the grounds of Blessington National School. We then took to the nearby G.A.A field for our races. Huge congratulations to all of our pupils who took part, each child represented the school with pride. We won lots of medals on the day and managed to secure the Girls and Boy’s Championships, The Clergy Cup and the overall Winners Cup. It was a very enjoyable day and even the weather managed to behave! Here are some photos taken on the day.
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.
