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.

Another fun Maths Week at St. Fiach’s. Infants had help from the 5th and 6th class students on their shape hunt and Mr. Farrell and Ms. Sorohan’s rooms ‘buddied up’ for their school yard Maths trail. Well done all! There was great participation on Mangahigh again this year with plenty of medals achieved. Maith sibh!
We had our last coaching session on Wednesday in St. Brigid’s GAA grounds. The coaches had wonderful, healthy treats for all the children at the end. Special thanks to Martin, Brendan, Patrick and Kathryn for all their help!
Our senior classes are being put through their paces, every Wednesday morning, in St. Brigid’s GAA pitch. There is a wonderful club/school link in place and we look forward to the sessions for the rest of the autumn term. Special thanks to the St. Brigid’s GAA coaches for sharing their coaching skills.
