Welcome

Welcome to Strabane Academy

It was Aristotle who said that, “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence is not an act, but a habit.”

Within these pages we have tried to capture something of the spirit of school life and convey the sense of pride we feel in being part of this community. As you view our website, look out for the many opportunities that we provide which help students develop positive habits for life.

It may be how we extend learning beyond the classroom; through sports, Languages, Duke of Edinburgh, opportunities to travel abroad, practical life skills such as wood working and the culinary arts, work-based learning, leadership opportunities and the school council all of these are enriching on many levels.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post 📍 10E Visit NWRC for Taster Day
10E enjoyed an insightful visit to NWRC for their taster day, exploring the wide range of courses available on our Mourne Pathway. From Catering & Hospitality to Tiling, Plastering, and Childcare, pupils got a hands-on introduction to exciting career options and practical skills.
A fantastic day was had by all – well done to everyone for getting involved and making the most of the experience! 👏

💪 Well done everyone, you pushed through and made it to the end. Time to rest up those feet… the assessment hike is just around the corner!
Not many photo ops this morning — a few tired and grumpy heads made for a quieter start to the day! 😅 But spirits lifted as we got moving! 🤪

Wishing our Year 14 pupil, Rhiannon, the very best of luck as she heads to Belfast to compete in the Miss Northern Ireland final! 🌟
We’re so proud of everything you’ve achieved, especially your incredible fundraising efforts for Kinship Care over the past few weeks.

We kicked off Day 1 with sunshine, stunning views, and great spirits all around. A few sore feet by evening, but everyone is well fed, in good form, and happy to be settling into camp. Looking forward to what tomorrow brings! 🌞🥾🏕️

Photos from Strabane Academy's post The Lough’s Agency brought their Marine Machine along yesterday, giving year 8 pupils an opportunity to learn about the wonders of our local waterways.
This event offered lots of exciting and interactive experiences from exploring the River Foyle through virtual reality to meeting various species of crab and other marine life.
A swimmingly good time had by all!
