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.

Mrs. Smith’s class were very busy in art class this week. The children created beautiful clay baskets to hold their mini Easter eggs! When the clay dried, they painted them with beautiful, bright colours.
Our junior classes took part in a fun Easter egg hunt on the final day of the term. Great fun was had searching for the eggs!
Cáisc Shona Daoibh!
Well done to all our students who participated in the Meath Primary Schools Cross Country finals in Navan on March 14th. It was a bitterly cold day but all the teams braved the elements to perform excellently. Maith sibh!
It was a long and anxious wait but our 6th class students eventually received the sacrament of Confirmation on Tuesday, March 20th! The snow cleared and the sun was shining for this special day. The wonderful ceremony was celebrated by Monsignor Heaney and Fr. O’Connor. Special thanks to Clara and the choir for their wonderful singing.
Congratulations to Danielle, Pádraig, Katelyn, Cian, Katie, Ciarán, Ivan, Aoife, Lauren, Saoirse Rose, Joshua, Lucy, Bobby and Saoirse.
