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.

We held our annual soccer tournament recently to celebrate this year’s World Cup in Russia. After a few weeks of competitive action we finally got down to 2 teams for the final. Congratulations to both teams for a pulsating final that ended with the dreaded penalty shoot-out!! Well done to Katie and Cian’s team on their victory!

Well done to all our representatives at Claremont. We had a few very close events and were very unlucky not to return with a medal. Thanks to Mr. Donohoe for supervising and to Mary and Brendan for the lifts.
2 in a row!!! Heartiest congratulations to our boys and Aoife for retaining their Division 5 title from last year. They gave it their best and it was all worth it in the end! It is wonderful to see such bravery and commitment at such a young age! Well done to Ivan Carroll for winning the Spirit of the Final Award. Maith thú!

What a fantastic way to get Active Week started by having our Sports Day!! Thankfully our great spell of weather continued. We had fun stations including tug of war, the parachute, spud and spoon race and sack races. Each class had their own running races and also took part in a fun relay. Poor Mr. McHugh is still recovering!!!
Thanks to St. Brigid’s GAA for the use of the pitch! Well done to everyone for their participation and cooperation!
