The proceeds of this years 6th class sale will be given to the ISPCA. On Wednesday, Brendan Hughes of the ISPCA visited the school and spoke to the children about caring for animals. He brought along ‘Spud’ a dog which was rescued by his organisation 5 years ago. The pupils got an opportunity to pet ‘Spud’ and even witnessed him playing football with Brendan! I think you will agree that the ISPCA is a very worthy charity.
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.
