ATHLONE PRIMARY SCHOOL

Preparing children to become more confident, well-balanced members of the community.

At Athlone Primary School, we believe education is the foundation for a lifetime of learning. We are a co-educational school that offers a safe, nurturing, and enthusing environment for learners to grow and develop academically, socially, and emotionally. Our dedicated teachers and support staff strive to create a dynamic and engaging learning experience, where children feel valued and supported in their journey of discovery. We encourage support from parents, guardians, and the wider community to help us create a positive and inclusive learning environment. Since the first day when Athlone Primary School’s gates opened, learners have been provided with an exceptional educational journey and a myriad of special, happy memories.

“ And we will walk into the world with heads held high
Fearless and Faithful 
We will reach for the sky…”

Thank you for visiting our website, and we look forward to partnering with you in your child’s education.

WE ARE THE WOLFPACK

Wolves are known for their exceptional teamwork and communication skills. One can learn from wolves that teamwork requires trust, communication, and a clear understanding of roles and responsibilities. At Athlone Primary School, we value input and involvement from stakeholders in ensuring, maintaining and building upon education excellence.

Wolves have a strong sense of community and take care of each other, as in our school, where our Staff foster a supportive and collaborative environment by helping each other and and working towards a common goal. Each member of our team is respected and brings different skills, knowledge, and perspectives to the table. It’s important to recognize and appreciate these individual differences and treat each member with respect and dignity. At the same time, it’s necessary to work collaboratively as a team, recognizing that everyone’s contributions are important and valuable to the group’s success. By balancing respect for individuals with value for the team as a whole, we can create a positive and productive environment.

Everyday life for a wolf is about survival. When it comes to hunting, wolves fail more often than they succeed. Rather than becoming discouraged, and giving up, wolves choose to keep going. They persevere, they learn lessons, and they improve each time. Wolves are forward thinking, and in this regard, we have a lot to learn from them. At Athlone Primary, we celebrate our successes and we choose to approach mistakes and failures as stepping stones towards our goals.

Our identity is underpinned by the acronym, PACK, which stands for:-

P– Passion – Honour commitments with passion –  a passion for learning, for sport, for our School Athlone

A– Attitude – Have a positive attitude “Attitude determines Altitude”

C– Courage – Have courage and integrity, be brave to stand up for what is right. 

K– Kindness – Treat all those around you with kindness and respect.
