Trinity Anglican School (TAS) is an independent, Anglican, co-educational, P-12 school, located in the Cairns suburb of White Rock, in Far North Queensland, Australia.[1][2][3] It is administered by Independent Schools Queensland, with an enrolment of 1,062 students and a teaching staff of 88, as of 2023.[3] The school serves students from Prep to Year 12,[1][2][3] over three campuses set over two grounds. TAS White Rock caters for students from Kindergarten through to Year 12, and TAS Kewarra Beach serves students from Kindergarten to Year 6.
History
[edit]The school opened on 25 January 1983.[4]
In 2015, TAS White Rock opened the Science Technology Engineering Mathematics (STEM) building (S-Block) designed by Charles Wright Architects, for students in Years 7 to 12.[5] The White Rock campus' also have the first Olympic-sized swimming pool in Cairns, completed in 2000. TAS White Rock is currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation programme of the older classrooms to bring it into line with that of the recent Science Block.
Houses
[edit]Trinity Anglican School, in a tradition common to many schools in Britain and Commonwealth countries, has a house system that groups students across age- and academic-levels for certain co-curricular activities.[6][7] Cultural, academic, and sporting activities are, in-part, channeled and encouraged through house involvement, and achievement rewarded by group recognition. The four houses of TAS and their corresponding colours are, Leichhardt – yellow / gold; Mulligan – red; Kennedy – green; and Dalrymple – blue. They are named after four prominent explorers.
