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.

Our senior classes had a wonderful time in the Community Centre today.
Mr. Séamus Smith and Mr. Tommy Tuite presented a talk on The Ballinacree Banner, local mills and local farming practices. The talk was followed by a wonderful PowerPoint featuring lots of photos from years gone by. Mr. Tuite had a number of old farm tools which he showed us how to use: butter churn, a drag, a corn scythe; amongst other artefacts. The children also had a tour of the Heritage Room.
Mrs. Rita Briody and Mrs. Brigid Heery provided delicious home-bakes and juice for refreshments. Special thanks to everyone all involved!
We are currently taking part in the Meath County Council Writer-in-Schools residency. Special thanks to Oisín McGann for sharing his expertise with us. We are looking forward to the rest of the programme.
A huge welcome back to all our wonderful students for the 2019/2020 school year. A special welcome to our new junior infants. We hope you all have a great start to your primary school lives!
Congratulations to our past pupil, Michael Flood, who captained the Meath Junior team to Leinster Final glory in Croke Park yesterday. We are so proud!
