We recently celebrated World Book Day in the school. Pupils from Junior Infants – 4th Class dressed up as a character from their favourite book. 5th-6th Class pupils depicted characters from their class novel ‘Under the Hawthorn Tree’. I think you’ll agree a super effort was made by all.
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.
