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.

Science Week 2015

St. Fiach’s celebrated Science Week Ireland: November 8th-15th 2015. Each class practiced their investigation and experimental skills through many experiments that covered a wide range of the Science curriculum strands. 5th and 6th class visited Oldcastle Library for a very worthwhile Science Workshop with Heather Bothwell. The children were introduced to taxidermy. There was an owl, a mouse and a stoat on display. The children were also given the opportunity to use a microscope to see exactly what lives on rush leaves. Please ask your children to explain the findings!!

We held our very own Coffee Morning on September 17th to raise badly needed funds for local hospice services. The morning was a great success. Our 3rd-6th classes played music throughout the morning. We would like to thank all the families and friends for attending the event in Ballinacree Community Centre. An event like this could not be held without the generosity of our wonderful parents who were very busy baking cakes, tarts and buns. Go raibh míle maith agaibh!
