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".
