I scream, you scream, we all scream for Ice-Cream!

Free Ice-Cream for Athy College students!

A wonderful and memorable day at Athy College as we joined in celebrating the achievements of the graduating 6th year students. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and pride as students and staff came together to mark this important milestone. To add a touch of sweetness to the celebrations, everyone enjoyed delicious complimentary ice cream provided by Rockfield Ice-cream, which was a big hit on the sunny day.

As part of the event, Belinda and Carol delivered an engaging and informative presentation designed to support students as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives. Their talk covered a range of important topics, including our scholarship award and the various student loans options available.


Ice-cream bike stand set up at entrance of Athy College with People First Credit Union pull up banners around it advertising their student loan.

Additionally, the presentation tackled the serious issue of money muling—a growing concern among young people. Belinda and Carol highlighted the risks, consequences, and warning signs, aiming to equip students with the knowledge to protect themselves from financial crime.

Overall, the day was a fantastic mix of celebration, education, and community spirit, and we were delighted to be part of it.
