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 keep our PE equipment in the shelter shed. It is well labeled and accessible during breaks (without Covid restrictions). We check it regularly and discard old and broken gear.
We are an Active School since 2013 and we hope to renew our flag this year. We are partaking in many events throughout the year including ‘Feel Good Fridays’, Active Breaks, Steps Challenges, ‘Take on the Teachers’ and Active School Week.
Our 6th class students came up with a fantastic Active School slogan:
Being Active is Real Fun. Jumping and Running in the Sun!
Thanks to the students in Mr. Donohoe’s classroom for organising a fantastic Easter Hunt with the younger students. They had great fun finding the clues and earning their lovely Easter eggs! Cáisc shona daoibh!
1st and 2nd class students were exploring the ‘Procedural writing’ genre in literacy this week. They also put the methods to the test by making the buns in the recipe!
