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 annual Christmas concert took place in Ballinacree Community Centre on Friday, December 14th.
Our junior classes performed a wonderful nativity play called The INN-spectors.
Our senior classes sang a selection of Christmas favourites in their groups. They also sang and played the tin-whistle to some traditional Christmas carols.
Well done to all our students for their super effort on the night. We are very proud! Thanks to Clara and the wonderful Parents’ Association for their organisation. Thanks to Seamus for the use of the hall to practice. Special thanks to Kyle Riley and Mr. Clarke for playing the guitar and accordion with the groups and choir.
Wow what a wonderful visit to the library we had this week! It was a pleasure meeting Shane Hegarty, author of the Darkmouth series. He provided a very entertaining and worthwhile discussion with our children. We hope that he inspired a few of our budding writers! Special thanks to Oldcastle Library for organising the event for us!

As part of our Junior Entrepreneur Programme (JEP) 2019 our 5th and 6th class students visited Briody Bedding ltd.
Special thanks to the Briody family for inviting our 5th and 6th class students on a tour of their manufacturing plants. We got to witness, first hand, how a mattress is produced from the springs to the finished product. We also got to see a variety of bedroom furniture being manufactured and painted. Seán Blake explained how the transport department works so hard to get the finished products delivered to their customers.
It was a wonderful day and we hope that our students have gathered some inspiration for their products for JEP. Thanks also to Kathryn Cooke for organising the visit and for the pizza and chips to finish the day!
