Honour Roll Trip

March 25, 2025

There was great excitement today when 65 students who made the school’s Honour Roll for the second trimester went to Blanchardstown for a morning of bowling.

The trip was co-ordinated by Miss Gallagher, who was accompanied on the day by Mr. Magner, S.N.A.’s Elena O’Donoghue and Blathnaid Keely and Debbie Connor from the Parents Council. After the bowling the students were given time to have lunch in the shopping mall and to engage in some vital retail therapy.

As part of Athboy Community School’s Learning Code, students have been building up an Asset Portfolio since the beginning of the academic year. Assetsare awarded to students by staff members for a whole variety of reasons such as ongoing hard work, oral contributions in class, acts of kindness, improvement in classwork or homework, promoting a positive school spirit, promoting sustainability, creativity, manners and respect, digital skills, sporting achievements, taking initiative, being good with their hands, extra-curricular activities as well as other talents, skills and achievements. 

Students can also earn Citations for more sustained or major achievements which required training, preparation and sustained effort by the student and also Superlatives which required a supreme ongoing effort and training and preparation over a more significant amount of time. 

The top 10% in each year group made the School’s Honour Roll and were presented with Certificates of Merit by their Year Head at assembly and earned a place on today’s trip to Blanchardstown as a reward for their endeavours. Congratulations to all concerned and a big thank you to Miss Gallagher for organising the day.
