Lovely to welcome back Spanish students to Athy College.  Between Friday and today another 50 of our visitors have experienced the Barrow both canoeing and jumping in! Thanks to Johnny, Olivia, Helen and Patricia for making it happen.

Great excitement as the first plans for the new extension to Athy College are completed.  Well done to architects MCOH for an excellent job.  As this project advances we will see a 12million euro investment in Athy education creating both employment and a state of the art facility for students.

Athy College is delighted to be awarded the title of School of Distinction for the second year running by Trinity College.  This is a very prestigious award and acknowledges successes in a variety of areas.  Well done to all teachers, staff and students.

After their long journey we were delighted to welcome our Japanese guests this evening.  Thank you to all of the host families who are helping to make their visit so memorable and to Equinox for organising this venture.

Athy College is delighted to welcome 43 Japanese students who are arriving this evening to attend language school.  The students will stay with local families and we wish them a strong Athy welcome.

Best of luck to the students of Athy College and other students who are sitting their state examinations this week

We have just received word that Athy College has been awarded the prestigious "Well Read School" bu the PDST.
Encouraging students to read, creating reading spaces and placing boxes of books to borrow around town are just some of the initiatives which merited this award.  We will be presented with the award in the autumn and we hold the title until 2022!!
Well done to Ms Doyle and Ms O'Connor for their work in achieving this - you read it here first!

A massive well done to Ms Daly and the first year students who raised over €1500 for our beloved four legged friends.  The funds were presented to the Kildare West Wicklow SPCA who even brought along some friends to say thanks "Woof".
