Fáilte go Scoil Naomh Fiach!
As Principal of St. Fiach’s N.S., I am thrilled to welcome you to our vibrant and close-knit school community. Nestled in Ballinacree, our school is a place where children flourish academically, socially, and spiritually. At St. Fiach’s, we celebrate the individuality of each student, helping them develop into confident and compassionate individuals, fully aware of their unique talents and role in the world.
We are especially proud of our rich tradition of academic excellence, participation in sports and the arts, and our commitment to environmental sustainability through initiatives like the Green Flag program. Our dedicated staff fosters a spirit of curiosity and creativity, guiding students through a range of enriching activities, from Seachtain na Gaeilge Week to Active Week celebrations, where fun and learning go hand in hand.
Our Catholic ethos inspires us to create a nurturing environment where children can deepen their faith, develop lasting friendships, and cultivate a positive attitude towards life. Tá sé mar aidhm againn cabhrú le gach páiste a bheith sásta agus muiníneach, agus muid ag forbairt ár gcreideamh mar phobal láidir agus tacúil.
Go raibh míle maith agat as do spéis, agus tá súil againn go mbainfidh tú taitneamh as d’eolas a fháil faoi Scoil Naomh Fiach.

Our 1st and 2nd classes visited Mullaghmeen Forest on Monday June 20th. We got to see some wonderful trees in Mullaghmeen arboretum: whitebeam, hornbeam, wild cherry and bird cherry, whitethorn and blackthorn, crab apple and spindle, alder and elder, beautiful names with poetry running through them.
Special thanks to Mr. Smith for the guided tour around the forest. Thanks also to the super parents who provided lifts there and back.
Our senior classes journeyed to Lilliput Adventure Centre, for the second year running, for their very active school tour. Special thanks to the wonderful leaders who guided the children through all the activities. Thanks to all the teachers for organising this super fun tour.
Our junior classes had their school tour recently at Rathbeggan Lakes. It was a wonderful day of fun and everyone had a great time. Thanks to all the teachers and parents who helped make this a memorable experience for our little soldiers!
Congratulations to the pupils of 2nd class who celebrated their First Holy Communion on Saturday May 14th 2016. It was celebrated beautifully by Fr. O’Connor. A massive thanks to our wonderful Parents Association for decorating the hall and preparing food after the ceremony. A special thanks to Dr. Bennett and Ms. Smith who dedicated their time and effort to make it such a special day.
Congratulations – Annie, Kirsten, Linda, Eabha, Shauna, Caprice, Ríain, Ivan, Shane, Laurynas and James.
Yoga has been introduced for the first time at St. Fiach’s NS for 8 weeks in term 3 2016. Yoga has been around for thousands of years. It started off in India but has now become hugely popular thanks to its physical, mental and spiritual benefits. Yoga uses stretching, movement, breathing methods, relaxation and meditation to exercise your body AND mind. A huge thanks to Catherine for teaching us this fine art.
Please take a look at our gallery of all classes enjoying Yoga!
