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.

‘It’s hope, it’s God’s love, it’s joy and excitement – It’s the whole of Christmas wrapped up in a Shoebox !’
This year marks the return of the Team Hope Christmas Shoebox Appeal to St. Fiach’s. Thank you to all our students who made a wonderful effort with their shoeboxes. They have been sent off to the most vulnerable children in the world so that they can enjoy a much needed Christmas gift. Thanks to Ms. Sorohan for organising the event.
We had an action packed Science Week 2018. Our students were busy predicting, creating, analysing and experimenting through a whole variety of science experiments. Plants, Sound, Forces and Magnets were some of the areas we explored:
We had a very special visitor to our school this week……..All Black superstar, Scott Barrett. Scott attended St. Fiach’s almost 20 years ago with his other famous brothers, Beauden and Jordie. Our children performed their own version of the Haka (as Gaeilge) and had many insightful questions for him! Thanks to Barney Tighe for arranging the visit and thanks to Scott himself for taking the time out of his busy schedule to revisit his past! Best of luck in your career!

Congratulations to all the winners of the best homemade costumes. Very scary! Special thanks to the Parents’ Association for providing the goodies!
Happy Halloween everyone and stay safe!!
