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.

On Friday 10th October we held our annual Trad for Trócaire session. The children were very busy over the last few weeks practicing and preparing for the day. A huge thanks to all the children from 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th classes for their excellent solo and collective performances. A special mention has to go to the wonderful children from 1st and 2nd classes. With only a couple of lessons, they were able to put on a great show. Well done guys!!
Thank you to all parents and families who supported our event especially Brendan Melia and Seamus Smyth who joined in with their instruments. We raised over €300 for Trócaire which makes us very happy!

September 1st was the beginning of our Friendship Week. We completed many activities and lessons during the week relating to the importance of friendship. Our most amazing achievement was our ‘Friendship chain’ around the school. Well done everyone and remember ‘Stop……think……words can hurt’!
As part of Friendship Week, each class were asked to put on a variety of tasks to show the importance of our friends!
The senior classes produced some beautiful artwork and slogans to show how much they appreciate their friends. ‘A Friendship never sinks!’
1st and 2nd classes sang the popular Toy Story song ‘You’ve got a friend in me’. They were wonderful!
Our Infant classes put on a wonderful singing and dancing performance. Superstars!!!
