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.

Interview with Alan Moore

The children from 5th and 6th class interviewed Alan Moore, team member of the Irish Cerebral Palsy Soccer Squad. Alan is also a past pupil of the school and we were delighted to have him back in Ballinacree. It was fantastic to listen to Alan’s story. He has had many ups and downs, but with great strength and determination he has gotten to where he wants to be. He had some great advice for us all.

Not only did Alan answer the children’s questions, he brought them outside for some drills and games.

Computational Thinking

We had another visit from the Maynooth PACT team. Taina and her team brought their brand new workbook to 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th class. The children loved it and even created their own problem in groups for the others to solve. We look forward to Taina and her team returning to St. Fiach’s N.S. next year.
