There was great excitement in the school gymnasium at the recent Opening Ceremony for the 2024-25 Academic Year in Athboy Community School when the first ever School Captains were chosen. Although there has been a thriving, active Prefect system in the school for many years now, this was the first time in the school’s history that Captains were chosen from the student body. The two Captains are excellent role models for other students to look up to.
The Captains were chosen from the cohort of 6th year Prefects. The candidate must have put themselves forward by way of an application and must have carried out the role of Prefect to an excellent standard. All candidates were considered and a shortlist was decided upon by Principal, Deputy Principal, relevant Year Heads and the Student Leadership Coordinator, Miss Di Lucia. The teaching staff then voted on the short listed candidates.
Athboy Community School is proud to announce that the School Captains for the 2024-25 Academic Year are Fiona Boylan and Keelin McKeogh, two very worthy and exemplary candidates.
