Photos from Strabane Academy's post Italy Trip Update 🇮🇹☀️🍕
After a long day of travelling on Day 1, the group hit the ground running with a visit to the iconic Colosseum. It was a very hot day, but thankfully there was plenty of delicious gelato to help everyone cool down! 🍦😎
Friday morning was spent exploring the incredible Vatican Museums, taking in the amazing history, art and architecture. After all that sightseeing, it was time to refuel with some authentic Italian pizza for lunch! 🍕🇮🇹
The group are now on their way to Sorrento, where the next part of the adventure begins. Everyone is in great spirits, and we can’t wait to share more updates over the coming days! 🌊☀️

Photos from Strabane Academy's post ❤️ Restart a Heart Day 2026 ❤️
What an incredible day our whole school community enjoyed yesterday as we came together for our annual Restart a Heart Day!
Our Year 10 pupils took part in a hands-on CPR and AED training session, but this year there was something extra special… they were taught by their peers!
Following their recent Train the Trainer day, our amazing SAVE Teams confidently shared their lifesaving knowledge and skills. We were so impressed by how much they remembered and, more importantly, how brilliantly they communicated it to others. Every Year 10 pupil had the opportunity to practise CPR and learn how to safely use an AED in a practical, engaging session that could one day help save a life.
A huge thank you to Bonnie and Gareth from the Northern Ireland Ambulance Service for once again supporting the delivery of our Community of Lifesavers programme and helping inspire the next generation of lifesavers.
At lunchtime, the school was buzzing with activity! Pupils enjoyed:
🎨 Painted Pig Paint a Heart Workshop
💪 Tug of War
🥾 Welly Throwing
⚽ Beat the Goalie
🏀 Shoot Some Hoops
🧁 Allergy-friendly Bun Sale
🍿 Allergy-friendly Popcorn Stall
🧸 Guess the Bears
🍬 Sweetie Cart
Even Poppy from Trolls popped by to teach pupils how to safely use an adrenaline auto-injector, reminding everyone:
💙 Blue to the sky, 🧡 Orange to the thigh!
Our allergy-friendly bun sale and popcorn stall also helped raise awareness that everyone deserves safe, inclusive treats.
We finished the day in the sunshine with our Year 8 Sponsored Skip, bringing a fantastic end to a day filled with lifesaving learning, laughter and community spirit.
A huge thank you to everyone who supported the day. We are incredibly proud of our pupils and the confidence they have gained in skills that could one day help save a life.

What a day at Costa Del Portrush! 😎🌊
We were blessed with beautiful sunshine, plenty of laughs, and mighty craic all day long. From speeding around in the bumper cars to braving the ghost train at Currys Funpark Portrush, there was never a dull moment! 🎠👻🚗💥
Of course, no trip to Portrush would be complete without ice cream… and then more ice cream! 🍦🍦😋
A fantastic day celebrating the hard work, effort and achievements of our Key Stage 3 pupils. Memories made, smiles everywhere, and a great way to start the summer! ☀️🎉
