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.

Paper Bags – 6th class school play

‘Paper Bags (Abbey Khan) is a dramedy about a new teacher’s first day in a classroom. The students attempt to mess with the new teacher and become disruptive. Worst of all, when Miss Cort arrives, she finds all the students wearing paper bags over their heads! She doesn’t let them defeat her and she turns the tables on them! This powerful and timely play challenges who we think we are!’

Parents and teachers had a great treat on Graduation Night! Our 6th class students performed a play called Paper Bags. We are so proud of everyone for putting in a huge effort over the past few weeks. Thanks to Sheamus for allowing us to use the Community Centre. Special thanks to the wonderful Kyle Riley who shared his expertise with the students and helped them express their dramatic qualities! Maith sibh Rang a Sé!

Congratulations to our super 6th class students who have come to the end of their primary education. We had a wonderful evening on Wednesday, June 19th. There were memories shared and tears shed! Thanks to the parents for supplying refreshments on the night.

We wish each and every 6th class student all the best next year and for the future!

Special thanks to Hughie and St. Brigid’s GAA for allowing us to use their wonderful facilities.
