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.

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!
Our boys have now qualified for the Division 5 final on Saturday, June 9th after a narrow win over Dunderry. They played a super match and we are so proud.
Congratulations to our boys Gaelic football team for winning a hard fought contest away to Mounthanover today, May 22nd. We wish you all the best in the semi-final.
Oh what a wonderful day we had on Saturday, May 26th and the weather was fantastic to match. Our 2nd class children received the sacrament of Holy Communion. Thanks to Fr. O’Connor for celebrating the sacrament and to Clara and her choir for their wonderful performances. Mrs. Smith had her class excellently prepared and the children were so good.
Congratulations: Holly, Sarah, Luca, Stephanie, Jenny, Fiachra, Kelly, Zach, Aoife and Anthony.
We had a wonderful visit from Fr. Alo Connaughton last week who talked to our 5th and 6th class students about his time in China. He gave a fantastic presentation on the modern history of the world’s most populated country. Fr. Alo is doing wonderful work abroad and it’s always a pleasure welcoming him back to his native Ballinacree!
