Photos from Strabane Academy's post Civilisation Belfast 2026
Alex, Cian and Eliza-Jane were selected to take part in Civilisation Belfast 2026, a hands-on civil engineering experience hosted by Queen’s University Belfast on Tuesday 6th October 2026. During the day, they explored major engineering projects across Belfast, including Belfast Grand Central Station, the Lagan Weir, and Victoria Square, gaining valuable insight into how civil engineers design, shape and maintain the built environment.
The programme also included a university taster lecture, A Day in the Life of a Civil Engineer, delivered by a recent Queen's graduate, and the opportunity to learn about careers in civil engineering from industry professionals.
The visit provided an excellent opportunity for the students to see engineering in action, develop their understanding of real-world STEM applications, and consider future study and career pathways in the field.

✉️ 💌 Our lovely students in 8I have started the year so well in English! They have all written a letter back to their primary school to let them know how they are getting on at Strabane Academy. Letters are in the post as we speak! Who knows, we might even get a letter back? 🤩💌
From 8I and Mrs MacManus.

Photos from Strabane Academy's post A busy few days of sport for the Strabane Academy teams. ⚽️🏉🏑
Kicked off by our year 8 football players, as the boys and girls travelled to Holy Cross, both teams battled valiantly in horrific conditions the girls edging a tight affair with a single goal from Dakota, with a finish reminiscent of Francis Jeffers…after good work from Tillie Marie and Jessica on the right wing our fox in the box found the back of the net. Our boys didn’t manage a goal, but sone very positive signs for the coning season.
On Saturday it was hockey time and the senior, u14 and u13 teams began their campaign with a visit from Omagh Acadeny. Despite resolute defence the two older teams came out on the wtong side of the result but the u13’s managed to put a silver lining on the days play, with a well deserved 3-0 win… Beth, Robyn and Daisy the standouts of that day.
Tuesday it was the turn of the Rugby team and they did not disappoint a home crowd with a superb display, running out 42-5 victors against a very physical and well coached Omagh High School, captain Conn led from the front and it would be wrong to single out players from such a complete team performance but mentions must go to Adam, Alfie, Sam and Jacob in the pack. With the fans favourite Harry aka Dinky setting up a brace of tries for Alfie as well as one on debut for Levi.
Tomorrow the u14 football team head off to Markethill High as the Northern Ireland cup begins….
