5th and 6th class students were busy experimenting and investigating during Science Week 2022. They made hokey pokey, saw raisins dance and presented projects on some of the most famous scientists in history.
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 2022
We had a busy Science Week this year. We experimented with bicarbonate of soda by making honeycomb and by making raisins dance. Children researched a fantastic range of scientists and we ended our week with a visit to Oldcastle Library. Here we took part in a science workshop created by the Rediscovery Centre. Big thanks to them for having us. We’d a great time.
Credit Union Art Competition 2022
Congratulations to Anna, Calum and James who won prizes in the recent Oldcastle Credit Union Art Competition.
Science Week (1st and 2nd)
Materials and change: Our 1st and 2nd class students were busy making playdough during Science Week. They mixed all the different ingredients and added their own colours. Well done everyone!
Science (3rd and 4th)
As part of Science Week we carried out an experiment to see how balance is important and how we use it every day, without even thinking about it. Our challenge was to pick up a €2 coin off the ground. Sounds simple right? Wrong! We had to have our backs to the wall and could not bend our knees. The wall prevented us from counter balancing as we bent forward and so it was nearly impossible to pick up the coin. Well done Suzanne, who defied the laws of physics and managed to claim the €2 without falling forward.
