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.

Our junior classes visited Mollie Moo’s Adventure and Pet Farm for their school tour this year. The children were able to feed and interact with some of the exotic animals. There was also go-carting, sandpits and an interactive playground. Thanks to Mr. Donohoe and Mr. McKiernan for organising such a treat!
We held this year’s Celebration Day on Friday, June 14th. Thanks to Carmel Halpin, from the HSE, for attending and presenting us with our 2nd Health Promoting Schools flag. This year we also achieved our 3rd Blue Star flag for our work on the European Union. Our 5th and 6th class students received their Junior Entrepreneur Programme medals and certificates and raised the JEP flag. Finally, we continued our superb Discover Primary Maths and Science record by achieving our 8th DPSM Plaque of Excellence! Well done to all our students for their great work this year. Thanks also to all the teachers for their efforts, especially Ms. Sorohan for her leadership with the HPS programme.
