Reviews
"Beyond amazing - passion, enthusiasm and dedication in a friendly and caring environment We wanted to hold off on a review until Hugh was in his second term at St Finbarr’s to make sure we had a good understanding of school life. My goodness we have been nothing but impressed since we attended an Open Day long before he started. St Finbarr’s is a beautiful, small, community-feel school with so much to offer and so many opportunities for both students and parents to be involved. We have always felt welcome and part of the Finnies family which is so lovely and something I’m sure we wouldn’t feel at a bigger school. We were tossing up between our catchment school and St Finbarr’s and we are so thankful and confident that we made the right decision. Not once has Hugh said he doesn’t want to go to school; quite the opposite. He now has a love of learning and often comes home wanting to read, write or draw instead of screen time. He is thriving in many different areas. A huge part of that is because of his amazing prep teacher, Mrs Fiechtner. Her enthusiasm, passion and dedication to these little preppies is so comforting. When we met her before starting at the school, we felt so reassured and knew our son was in the best possible hands. With a new principal starting this year, we were a bit disheartened as we loved the previous principal but Catherine Connors is a shining light. I couldn’t think of a more perfect lady to lead our school. Her energy radiates through everything she does and ‘talented’ is an understatement. Not only does she set such a high standard across the board but her musical ability blows my mind. Playing guitar and piano with such a beautiful singing voice, she often leads assembly, mass and a new student choir group. I wish I could share a video I have of her leading the students first choir performance. I was lost for words. Amazing! Mrs Connors introduced the Arts to the STEM program and has already made many more positive changes. She is so motivated and inspiring. What an asset! Each time I see her, she is so warm and approachable. I just want to give her a big hug. The other teachers and support staff are so friendly and caring. I’m always surprised how they remember our names given they haven’t had Hugh in their class! I’m so thankful for all these amazing leaders my son is fortunate to be taught and fostered by. We couldn’t think of a better place for his primary school years. We highly recommend St Finbarr’s!"
"Dedicated, caring and hard-working teachers definitely make this school stand above the rest in our area. The community of parents who support new families and ensure a lot of fun happens throughout the year is an added bonus. Highly recommended ✅"
"Our children transferred here at the end of the 2021 school year and they were immediately welcomed by the students, parents, and staff. We are happy to have found such a lovely school community for our kids."
"Inner city school with a welcoming community feel. My daughter loves going to school every day, and my younger son can’t wait to go! We are so glad that we chose St Finbarrs."
"A truly incredible school, I had so much fun when I was there. All of the teachers are so nice and encouraging, I wish I never grew old and moved to high school. Everyone is treated the same and all the teachers are lovely. Highly recommend this school, your kids will always come home with a smile."
