Massive congratulations to Mrs. Gallagher who stormed the Dublin Half Marathon last weekend - just one week after she stormed the Ebrington HYROX! We are so proud of you!

✨🥂 Tonight’s the night! 🥂✨

Wishing our fabulous Sixth Form a wonderful Formal this evening! 💙✨ We hope you have an unforgettable night filled with laughter, dancing and plenty of special memories! 🪩

We’ll see you at 6pm at the Silver Tassie Hotel. ✨

Have an amazing night, everyone, you deserve it! 💙🤍

Bonjour! ✨ Our Year 8 pupils started yesterday with a taste of France as they enjoyed a delicious French breakfast to celebrate the European Day of Languages. What a wonderful way to bring language learning to life! A big merci to Mandy and all of our fantastic canteen staff for making the morning so memorable.

Great to see former pupil Amy McNeely putting her passion for agriculture into practice at CAFRE! 👏

Amy is gaining hands-on experience in modern livestock breeding technologies as part of the Bovine Genetics Project. 🧬🐄

Fantastic to see our past pupils continuing to learn, develop and achieve!

🌟 Another great Wednesday Enrichment afternoon at Strabane Academy! 🙌

❤️ 13LJK took part in their Community of Lifesavers Resus training with Bonnie — gaining valuable lifesaving skills along the way.

💬 13BM enjoyed their second session with Ronan from Include Youth, with some fantastic discussions and reflections around stereotypes.

Another afternoon of learning, discussion and experiences beyond the classroom! 💙

🌱 Strabane Academy Business Studies Department – RiSE Project 🤝

We are delighted to be involved in the Unlocking the Potential of Rural Innovation and Social Enterprise (RiSE) Project.

RiSE is a cross-border initiative encouraging rural communities to explore the power of social enterprise as a pathway towards greater sustainability, innovation and growth.

The project, supported by PEACEPLUS and managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), aims to create new opportunities for community development, business and economic growth.

For our sixth form pupils, this is a fantastic opportunity to explore how entrepreneurial ideas can make a real difference within our local community, while developing valuable skills in innovation, enterprise and problem-solving.

We look forward to working with the RiSE project and seeing where our pupils’ ideas and creativity can take us! 🚀💡
