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 In Science, 8S have been exploring chemical changes and completed the Flame Tests. During this, they learnt how different metal ions produce different flame colours when they are heated. We think there are some great scientists already in Year 8, Well done!

Photos from Mayor of Derry City & Strabane District's post WOW! Our girls have had the priviledge of being invited to meet the Mayor of Derry City & Strabane District! She wanted to meet them to congratulate them on being selected to go to play in the all Britain u16 Gaelic football tournament in London and she was especially impressed that they had got to the quarter finals even only being a team for a few months and some of them had never played Gaelic football before. Brilliant!

Photos from Strabane Academy's post 10S are studying A Christmas Carol for their novel this term. As part of their study of 19th Century Prose, Mrs Irwin challenged students to research the Victorian Era and Charles Dickens for homework, they were then asked to make revision posters highlighting what they found. Here are some examples of their creative work.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Exploring Woodlice Habitats in Mr Haughey's Year 10 Class!
Today, Mr Haughey’s Year 10 class delved into the fascinating world of woodlice habitats. Pupils eagerly investigated their favourite conditions and explored various adaptations and characteristics of these intriguing creatures. This enthusiastic group, inspired by David Attenborough, demonstrated a remarkable curiosity about the natural world. It's wonderful to see such passion in our future biologists!

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Exciting Workshop for Year 12s!
We had an amazing time today with our Year 12 students as Carlos from Hip Psychology led an interactive workshop on Peak GCSE Exam Performance! 🎓✨
Did you know that even the most prepared students can ‘freeze’ on exam day, often due to their mindset? With over five years of experience working with the Ulster Rugby Academy, Carlos shared psychological skills tailored for peak performance, and now he's passing these techniques on to our students!
By the end of the session, our students left feeling empowered, equipped with strategies to tackle exams with confidence and clarity. It’s all about making learning fun and ensuring they feel in control when it matters most. Bring on those exams! 💪📚

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Exciting Workshop for Year 8s!
We had an amazing time with Carlos from Hip Psychology, who recently ran a fantastic ‘Ready for Action’ workshop with our Year 8 students! As they step into post-primary school, it’s only natural for them to feel a bit anxious about making new friends and handling the changes ahead. But fear not! This interactive 60-minute session equipped our students with the essential skills they need to forge friendships, stay organised, and face new challenges with confidence. The energy in the room was electric, and it was heartening to see our young people getting excited about their journey ahead. Here’s to embracing new opportunities and building lasting friendships! 🌟
