In Science we have been studying Forces and investigated different materials which are attracted (stick) to a magnet and those that repel (push away). Before we tested materials we had to make a prediction first. Look at our photos to see which materials are attracted to magnets.
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.

Beaudin Barrett returns – From Under 10s to No. 10!
Beaudin Barrett remembers his time in St. Fiach’s ……..
The International All-Black, Beaudin Barrett returned to St. Fiach’s on December 5th. A skilled former mid-fielder, Beaudin played Gaelic football with St Fiach’s U10 and St Brigid’s GFC where he showed early promise. He now plays at No. 10 out half, recently playing against Scotland, Wales and Italy in the Autumn internationals. He made his international debut against Ireland in June 2012, although he was already the proud holder of a world cup medal, which he won with the U20 All Blacks in 2010.
Staff, Pupils and Parents would really like to thank Beaudin for his time – his performance of the haka was awe-inspiring!
We really appreciate his visit; he gave freely of his time, with a lively Q & A session with the classes. He assured the children that hard work and perseverance comes to fruition, advocating a healthy, balanced lifestyle. As he reminisced about his time in St. Fiach’s and Ballinacree, he also treated some lucky pupils to a quick ball session which they will remember forever.
