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.

We learned about The Vikings in History. The Vikings contributed a lot to the way we live our lives today. Among other things, Vikings were expert boat makers. They made long ships that could travel great distances to help them conquer new lands. We decided to see if we could be expert boat makers. What do you think?
Today the PACT (Programming and Algorithms = Computational Thinking) team from Maynooth University Department of Computer Science visited our school. The children in the senior end of the school worked in teams to solve computer science problems. Computational Thinking is a set of problem solving skills that computer scientists use when they do their everyday work. It intersects with all STEM fields. This activity puts emphasis on the process of solving the problems, working as a team, listening to your teammates and clarifying your answers. It’s important to remember that it’s not always about the result.
5th and 6th class students were busy writing and performing short dramas. Well done to all!
