At St. Fiach’s NS, we celebrated our Proclomation Day on Monday March 14th 2016. As part of the celebrations, our students performed  ‘A Triumph of All Sorts’, a play by Damien White. The play described the main events of The 1916 Rising including the historic reading of the Proclamation. We also had some wonderful instrumental, singing and Irish dancing performances on show. Well done to all our fantastic students. A big thank you to Seán McCabe for his display on the day. Special thanks to all our teachers, especially Ms. McKenna, Mr. Farrell and Dr. Bennett, for orchestrating the event.

After the play we held our flag raising ceremony at the school. Special thanks to Frank and Seán O’Meara for raising the flag. Frank is the grandfather of three of our students: Lucy,Kelly and Amy. It was a great honour to have these two men attend our event. In 1985 they wrote the lyrics for the very popular song ‘Grace’ which was sung beautifully by Caitlin and Jules during the play.

An event like this wouldn’t be possible without the assistance of our wonderful Parent’s Association. They provided refreshments for everyone in the hall and the school. Thanks to Seamus for the use of the Community Centre. Thank you to all who attended our special events. We hope you enjoyed your day. Please enjoy our gallery below:

We celebrated our annual World Book Day on March 3rd. Once again the children made a spectacular effort with their costumes. From Harry Potter to Snow White, we had a wonderful display of literary characters. Maith sibh!

At St. Fiach’s NS we are open to experimenting with all types of sports and games. 1st and 2nd classes were introduced to GAA handball recently. Thanks to Mr. Clarke for sharing his expertise with the children. Unfortunately we don’t have an official handball alley so we had to improvise! Well done to all the children who took part in the mini competition.
