As part of Seachtain na Gaeilge events our pupils took part in an inter-campus G.A.A blitz on March 9th. Their were 8 teams, the teams consisted of pupils from the Model school, the Gaelscoil and Scoil Phadraig Naofa. Each team was assigned a manager, these managers were pupils from Athy College. The children enjoyed the experience and hopefully got a chance to speak cúpla focal!
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.
