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.

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!
Congratulations to the students in 2nd class who received the Sacrament of Reconciliation today. Thanks to the parents for coming and supporting their children. Thanks also to Fr. O’Connor for the lovely ceremony.
