The Athy Model School Christmas Carol Service took place on Sunday 15th December. Infants, First and Second Class put on the play ‘Donkey for Sale’ and all classes performed songs and played instruments. Bible readings and prayers were read by pupils. A dance was performed by 6th class and a 5th class pupil played an accompaniment to the Infants rendition of Away in a Manger. Pupils donated gifts and a collection was held for the local St Vincent De Paul.
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.
