YEAR 6 EXCURSION | Recently, our year 6 students enjoyed an excursion to the University of Southern Queensland - Australia as part of their studies into electrical circuits.

As well as hearing from experts in the field, our students also enjoyed exploring the University's new solar panel facility and a scenic visit to the iconic Japanese Gardens.

HANDS-ON LEARNING | Recently, students from our senior years were treated to a visit to the Frazer Institute to hear first-hand about its latest Sarcoma research.

Our students enjoyed learning more about the research, which is looking at a new way of using the body's own immune system to fight sarcoma.

A huge thank you to everyone from the Frazer Institute for guiding our students through this wonderful experience.

SPECIAL VISIT | Recently, our students took part in the QFES Road Accident Action Plan (RAAP), which is a powerful, real-world experience that highlights the serious consequences of road trauma.

Through confronting and emotional scenarios, they gained a deeper understanding of the importance of safe choices behind the wheel.

A big thank you to QFES for delivering such an important message, one that could truly save lives.

KINDY - YEAR 2 CROSS COUNTRY | What a wonderful day we had at our Kindy–Year 2 Cross Country!

It wasn’t about who came first or crossing the finish line fastest—it was all about having a go, sharing plenty of smiles, and enjoying the experience together. And our students did just that.

From determined little runners to happy walkers and lots of cheering along the way, the energy and encouragement were amazing to see.

We are so proud of every child who participated, showed resilience, and supported their friends and a big thank you to our Year 6 students, Year 10 HPE students and our staff for their efforts in putting on such a wonderful event.

RANKIN LEADERS DINNER | Recently, our Head of Secondary Mr Fancourt, Head Girl Sophie and Head Boy Ezekiel had the honour of attending the annual Rankin Leaders Dinner, hosted by The Glennie School.

Bringing together leaders from across the region, the dinner named in honour of Named in honour of Dame Annabelle Rankin, encourages students to reflect on their leadership and the impacts they can have on our community.

A big thank you to The Glennie School for hosting the event and to guest speaker Deputy Mayor Councillor Dr Rebecca Vonhoff.

ADF VISIT | Recently, TAS Principal Mr Johnstone met with Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Mapperson, Commanding Officer of the 7th Signal Regiment, Australian Defence Force, and Regimental Sergeant Major, Warrant Officer Class 1 Craig Patch, to discuss Toowoomba Anglican School’s long and proud connection with the armed forces and future opportunities for our students.

The conversation explored potential career pathways, opportunities for excursions and visits, and ways to strengthen connections with local cadet units.

TAS greatly values these partnerships, which help foster leadership, service, resilience and character in our young people.
