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 senior classes had a great day in Funtasia, Drogheda on their school tour. The activities were excellently organised by the staff of Funtasia. Firstly, we visited the Reptile Zoo where we got to hold a snake and lizard! Secondly, we had a very competitive game of bowling that Mrs. Glynn won! Finally, the children had a great time in the water park. Thanks to Mr. McHugh, Mrs. Glynn and Mr. Farrell for organising this wonderful tour.

Our junior classes visited Mellowes Adventure Park for their school tour. There was a wide variety of activities for the children including go-carting, bouncy castles, climbing walls, crazy golf and the playground. The children also planted seeds and placed a memory on the ‘Memory Tree’. Thanks to Mrs. Smith, Ms. Sorohan, Mr. Donohoe and Ailish for organising this great tour. The children had a ball!
Congratulations to our wonderful 6th class students who are coming to the end of their primary school adventure! We had a special evening on Monday, June 18th to celebrate their graduation. Each student read out some of their memories of St. Fiach’s and then came the embarrassing photo slideshow! They also released memory balloons into the sky together.
Special thanks to our ever obliging parents for supply the refreshments and making the event so special for their children.
Special thanks to Alma from Agrikids for her wonderful and informative visit to our school today. Farm safety is to the fore of our thoughts at this time of the year and the children engaged eagerly in the presentation. Also thanks to James Sheridan for organising the event.
