A huge congratulations to Oliver, who was awarded the Ian Heaslett Cup for Junior Club Player of the Year award. As this is a brand-new award, Oliver will forever have his name immortalised as the first-ever recipient! 👏🏆
Oliver has worked incredibly hard throughout the year, taking every opportunity to get involved in school cricket. He has also attended coaching sessions with the Northwest Cricket Union alongside Louis Botha, while continuing to practise and play with his home club, Sion Mills Cricket Club, across the U13s, 2nd XI and 1st XI teams.
Oliver is a fantastic example of our #ASPIRE values, demonstrating ambition, resilience and enjoyment across the many teams he represents. He truly embodies our school values by setting high expectations, striving to be the best he can be and, above all, never giving up.
Well done, Oliver! Keep aspiring, keep working hard and keep enjoying your cricket! 🏏💙

Photos from Strabane Academy's post Maths Week has begun!
Yesterday we welcomed Dr Ken Farquhar and his fantastic show, "It Doesn't Add Up", to Strabane Academy to start our Maths Week celebrations.
We were delighted to host almost 500 students from 12 local primary schools, who joined us for the first performance and experienced the perfect blend of maths, magic and problem-solving.
Our Year 8 students then had the opportunity to enjoy the show, engaging enthusiastically with Dr Ken's tricks, puzzles and mathematical illusions.
A huge thank you to Dr Ken for an entertaining and inspiring start to the week. There are plenty more exciting Maths Week activities still to come!

Congratulations to Blake who was part of the Strabane Shanrocks u13 squad who won the Ulster Winter Hurling league. Shamrocks defeated Lisbellaw (Fermanagh) in a tightly contested final this morning at Sigersons park. It was great to see the finals played in Strabane and even better that one of our pupils played such an important part in this victory scoring the winning goal . Well done!
