Recharge and Regroup: Omagh High School Calls a Timeout at Shared Campus
"Protesting the Groundbreaking: School Announces Final Steps to Avoid Shared Campus Construction"
The top dog at Omagh High School, Christos Gaitatziz, and the school's governors are taking a stand, opting out of the groundbreaking ceremony at the Strule Shared Education Campus - a highly anticipated, transformative project in County Tyrone.
The principal himself has revealed a long-standing struggle with the plans regarding the Strule Campus's new school construction. This boycott, a decisive move, marks the culmination of ongoing tussles.
With its ambitious scope, the Strule Shared Education Campus project takes the lead as the most substantial school building project in Northern Ireland's history. After years of postponements, the overdue groundbreaking finally unfolds, albeit without Omagh High School's participation.
The Department of Education (DE) voiced disappointment over the school's decision, reassuring that their concerns have been duly considered.
