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.

Príomhoide
Kon’nichiwa from 3rd & 4th Class! Using our new laptops in school and working at home, we spent the last 6 weeks researching, preparing editing our projects for presentation on Tuesday. From Sport & Geography to Gaming & Deadly Delicacies we learned I much from each other. With flights at around €1000 and a travel time of over 15 hours, we might just have to say Sayōnara to Japan as a school tour destination for this year!
6th Class have been busy learning about VAT, interest and the workings of bank accounts. Some very practical skills to have.

Congratulations to our students who were confirmed today. Thanks to Bishop Smith and Fr. O’Connor for the lovely ceremony. Thanks also to Ms. Reynolds for all the preparation.
Magnetism
We experimented to see what affect a magnet would have on iron filings. The magnetic field made the filings move and some of them even turned spikey! We then investigated items in our classroom to see whether they would be attracted to a magnet or not. Although we worked in pairs, we were poles apart on some of our predictions.
We had a chance to get a taste of what life was like going to school
during the Penal times. As Catholic schools were forbidden, Hedge
Schools sprang up around the country. The weather was nice today so we
had the pleasure of learning in the shade of a hedge. We’re still
unsure as to what price is upon Mr. McHugh’s head!
