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.

📚👏 Huge congratulations to Calum in Year 10 for showing fantastic powers of persuasion! Calum wrote to the Irish Farmers Journal requesting reading materials on a topic of real interest to many of our young boys. Their efforts were rewarded—not only did they receive a wonderful selection of reading resources, but also some thoughtful goody bags too!
Well done, Calum – a brilliant example of initiative! 🌾📖🐄
If you have any reading material that you no longer require that would engage teenage boys, drop them in for Ms Malone.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Amazing start to our S.A.V.E team fundraising efforts for our community A.E.D. Our pupils certainly know how to lead with heart and act with purpose in all that they do. Voluntary spirit was high with fellow year 9 & 10 pupils pitching in and helping out where needed. A total of £105 was raised today and we have lots more to look forward to on our restart a heart non uniform day this Thursday 26th June.

📢 Year 11 Business Studies – Industry Visit to McColgan’s
Today our Year 11 Business Studies pupils enjoyed a fantastic industry visit to McColgan’s! They explored the fascinating history of the company, gained valuable insight into the Human Resources department (a key topic they’ll be studying in September), and toured the factory floor to see products like sausage rolls, quiche, and cottage pies being made.
A highlight of the day was seeing theory brought to life! As someone said, “What’s good enough for Paddy, is good enough for us!” 🥧👏
A big thank you to mccolgans_foods for such a warm welcome and an engaging, informative experience!
