What's Happening

🚀 Arkwright Engineering Scholarship Success! 🚀
Huge congratulations to Year 12 pupil Eliza-Jane on being awarded the prestigious Arkwright Engineering Scholarship, one of the most sought-after honours for aspiring engineers across the UK!
Making history for Strabane Academy, Eliza-Jane is the first student ever from the school to achieve this incredible distinction. With over 1,500 applicants nationwide and only a handful of scholarships awarded in Northern Ireland each year, this is an outstanding accomplishment.
Eliza-Jane impressed judges throughout a highly competitive selection process, successfully completing:
-A demanding aptitude test
-A professional interview
-A presentation of her GCSE Technology & Design project to a panel of industry experts
Her hard work, talent, and passion for engineering truly set her apart.
As part of this exciting journey, Eliza-Jane will soon be matched with a leading industry sponsor with global innovators like Rolls-Royce having supported scholars in the past.
This is a phenomenal achievement and a proud moment for the entire school community. We can’t wait to see where Eliza-Jane’s engineering future takes her! 🌟

🎶 What a night to remember at Christ Church, Strabane! 🎶
Our talented Strabane Academy choir were honoured to be part of a truly special occasion, the world premiere of a new hymn celebrating Cecil Frances Alexander.
The church was packed, the atmosphere was electric, and the music was simply breathtaking. From powerful choral performances to the incredible collaboration with local schools and musicians, it was a celebration of community, history, and talent.
A huge well done to our pupils for their dedication and outstanding performance, you did us all proud! 👏
