THROWBACK THURSDAY | This week we are looking back to 1966 when the Connal Wing was officially opened at the then Church of England Boys School.

According to a Toowoomba Chronicle article from the official blessing, the $54,000 project would accomodate 150 boarders, classrooms for 380 students as well as a sports oval and a swimming pool.

The paper described former Headmaster Mr N 'Boss' Connal as "his usual witty self" as during the ceremony he was quoted as saying he was "used to opening jam tins and fish tins, but not schools".

What are some of your memories of the Connal Wing?

FRIENDS FOR LIFE | After a hiatus, our beloved alumni magazine has returned and trust us, you’ll want to clear your schedule before you open it.

The latest edition of Friends For Life is packed with unforgettable stories, incredible achievements, cherished memories and the familiar faces that make the TAS community so special.

From alumni updates and milestone moments to life around the School today, this edition is a celebration of the friendships, traditions and connections that continue long after graduation.

If you’ve ever walked the halls of TAS, this is your chance to reconnect, reminisce and rediscover what makes our community truly Friends for Life.

Thankyou Ian Wickham for sending this through to us.

THROWBACK THURSDAY | It has been 20 years since Bligh House and the JH Fairfax Library Extensions were officially opened.

As documented in the 2006 'St Aidan' yearbook, "The new Bligh House, with
spacious accommodation for 36 students, has been a most welcome addition to the boarding operation at Prep".

While it described the opening of the JH Fairfax Library as a "another proud milestone in the School's history when we celebrated the opening of the new extensions of the J H Fairfax Library.

Mr Tim Fairfax AM, representing the Fairfax family, officially opened the new Library at a ceremony that was conducted by Archbishop Phillip Aspinall who dedicate the new library. Joining him in the dedication was Her Excellency
Ms. Quentin Bryce AC, the Governor of Queensland."

THROWBACK THURSDAY | This week, we are taking a look back at what the front entrance to our wonderful school looked like 30 years ago in 1996.

A lot has changed, but the same warm and inviting presence of our campus has not.

What are some of your memories of the Connal Building?

THROWBACK THURSDAY | House competition has long been a highlight of the school year from athletics, to cross country and swimming, house spirit has been alive and well for generations.

This week, we take a look back 40 years to 1986 and the group photos of Fairfax and Gill houses.

JOIN US - Hi I’m Simone Redwood. I stepped into the President role in October 2025 and in July we will be having TASAs AGM. While I promise to put my hand up again for election, we are actively welcoming new members to the Committee. New people bring fresh ideas and increase our ability to support and grow fun Alumni events & opportunities.

Do you realise in 2028 it will be 10 years since our first Year 12s graduated? We would love our Young Alumni to get involved on the Committee and help us grow social events such as the Gala which we sponsored this year, Barefoot Bowl (June 26) and back to TAS events like last years TAS v Young Alumni Mixed Netball (Oct 26).

We also plan in the future to focus on including past students that left at the end of Primary (Junior Alumni) or during their Secondary Years. If you went to school here you are always Alumni.

Other events we have or will support this year are Alumni BBQs and Tours and the Year 12 Formal & Graduation celebrations.

You don't need to start in an Executive role, just come along. Don't worry if you join you won't be seeing everyone else taking a step back and leaving you to carry the ball.

More information to follow.
