Third – Sixth Classes went to Dublin on the train this year again. Their first visit was to see the live crib outside the Mansion House. Then on to Dáil Éireann, for a guided tour and lastly a talk from Martin Hayden, T.D.
They also took in a visit to TrinityCollege to see the Book of Kells. A fun day was had by all.
A huge thank you to the Parents Association for organising and subsidising both trips.
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.
