3rd-6th class were delighted to receive an invitation from Athy library to have a talk from Oisín Mc Gann. Oisín is an Irish author and illustrator. He writes in a range of genres for children and teenagers, mainly science fiction and fantasy and has illustrated many of his own short stories for younger readers. His talk offered tips and encouragement to all of our pupils on how to improve their writing skills.
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.
