Post 16 at Omagh CBS is a special part of the school. Each student entering Year 13 will leave, after two years here, a different person. You will be a young adult with your own beliefs, values, knowledge and skills. You will have gained the confidence and maturity to face the challenges in the years ahead. You will make friendships which will last for a life time.

 

I wish you success in your Post 16 studies.  You may wish to gain further information on particular courses or aspects of life in Senior School. If so, please do not hesitate to contact our school, telephone should you decide to follow your Post 16 studies at Omagh CBS, I look forward to meeting you in August 2010.
