  • Back where it belongs!!

    One the most talked about gestures made just before the newly refurbished school was re-opened in June 2011 was when the late Matt Carty (a past pupil himself and father and grandfather of past pupils) from Antelope Road, came into the school with a match-stick model of the school. Painstakingly crafted from thousands of matches and with no little skill, no-one was aware of Matt's labour of love until he brought it into the school complete and ready for display. It fascinated hundreds of children as they went about their daily business i ...

  • First Communion 2019

    Congratulations to all the children who made their First Holy Communion last Saturday in Bride Street Church beautifully decorated with the children's Art work. On a day that started with worrying weather, all the children were in 'tip top' form, from their behaviour to their participation in the Sacrament. In front of a congregation that spanned many generations and four continents the children enjoyed their special day as all the hard work done at home and in school since September 2018 came to fruition. The Choir under the dual direct ...

  • From Frogspawn to Frogs

    I am a boy in 5th class who has always been fascinated by animals and nature. Throughout my life I have taken care of many different types of animals, and I was delighted to get the opportunity to take care of the frogspawn in school. It is a difficult task to take care of frogspawn and tadpoles as they require specific conditions. In captivity they require an artificial environment to ensure the survival of as many tadpoles as possible. In the wild only 0.8% of all tadpoles turn in to frogs and 0.1% will reach adulthood. Most of them are los ...

  • Runners-Up in South Leinster - FAI 5-a-side Soccer - Well done boys!

    On a day when you 'wouldn't have put a bucket out' the entire 6th Class headed off to Bunclody for the finals of the FAI / Spar South Leinster 5-a-side Soccer Tournament accompanied by the ever present Mr. Murphy, Mr. Doyle and a few very well wrapped up parents. Though normally one of the most picturesque settings in Wexford to play sports, it was one of the worst possible days that pupils were expected to play soccer with howling winds and driving rain from start to finish. The appalling conditions can be seen on the video shown be ...

Huge Thanks - Shauna's Fund

  • Print
FaceBook  Twitter  

Shauna Scullion is currently in 6th Class in the Faythe School. While you would never know it to see her, Shauna is blind in one eye, has only 30% vision in the other eye and this is getting  progressively worse.  On Monday 18th November 2013 she heads to Moorfield Eye Hospital, London for the start of treatment that will hopefully be life changing and save her sight. Costs associated with this on-going treatment is estimated at between €20,000 - €30,000 and a massive fund-raiser is currently being co-ordinated by the Wexford Lions Club.

On Friday 8th November the pupils held a 'No Uniform Day' while the staff had lunch cooked for them...for a fee. At the end of the day a massive €980 had been raised for Shauna's fund. It is hard to adequately acknowledge such incredible generosity but the contributions of all will be long remembered.

Rianna Returns for Aviva Soccer Sisters Launch!

Past pupil and Republic of ireland Soccer international Rianna Jarrett returned to the Faythe on Monday 7th October to launch the Aviav Soccer Sisters Halloween Programme for 7 - 12 year olds. has been one of the driving forces behind the increase in numbers in participation of grassroots soccer in girls over the past 5 years. As part of the "Introduction to Football" banner, the aim of Soccer Sisters is to increase the number of children playing soccer and utilising facilities countrywide while attracting new volunteers into soccer, i.e. parents and guardians who it is then hoped may get involved in the game in some capacity.

Rianna proved a big hit with Ms. MacFadden's 5th & 6th Class as can be seen from the video below.

Future of the School

FaceBook  Twitter  

From September 2014, boys enrolling in the St. John of God Primary School will be able to complete their education, from Junior Infants through to 6th Class, in this school. 

The outmoded process by which boys had to leave the Faythe School at the end of 3rd Class will now cease and boys enrolled here as Infants will be able to complete their primary education in a co-educational setting that reflects society.

The BOM acknowledge the role played in this monumental change by Bishop Denis Brennan and Minister Ruairi Quinn. A special word of thanks go to Minister Brendan Howlin, Cllr. George Lawlor and Fr. Jim Fegan , Adm. Wexford Parish, for 'their behind the scenes work' in helping to have this decision made before the end of the current school year.

A Common Enrolment Procedure will apply for enrolment to St. John of God Primary School, The Faythe, CBS Primary and the Mercy. Completed Application Forms for the School Year 2014 - 15 are requested to be returned to the school by 3pm Friday 1st November 2013.

    the crest

    Our logo is a cross and an open pomegranate. The cross is the universal symbol of Christianity. The pomegranate has a strong association with the city of Granada in Spain where our patron, St. John of God, lived. The abundance of seeds in the pomegranate is a reminder of God's endless love for us.
