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.

We could not have asked for better weather than we had on June 18th for our sports day. We had an action packed day which included class and relay races, long puck, wheelbarrow races and sack races. A big thank you to all the pupils who participated so well throughout the day. Thanks to all the teachers and former pupils Orla and Shannon for their help and also a huge thanks to Mary and Sinéad who provided much needed refreshments throughout the day. Well done everyone!
Our senior classes (3rd-6th) went on their school tour to The National Museum of Ireland and The National Art Gallery. We had a terrific day viewing precious items from different times in our history. We also got to appreciate some of the wonderful Irish and European art that’s on display in the gallery. A massive thanks to our tour guides in both places and to Mrs. Bennett for buying us ice-cream on the way home in the Phoenix Park.
Our infant classes along with 5th and 6th had a wonderful trip to the bog recently. We learned how to make soda bread before visiting a fairy stone. Hope all of our wishes come true!!! Then we learned all about bogs and footing turf. A big thank you to Winnie and Joe Moynagh for the great day. 🙂
We had some very exciting visitors to our school recently. TaytoPark Wildlife on Wheels stopped off for a visit and we got to see some beautiful birds, animals and reptiles. A big thanks to Jessica Harley from TaytoPark who brought the animals to the beautifully redecorated Community Hall.
