Welcome from the PRINCIPAL

Nick Johnstone

As the year draws to a close, I reflect with gratitude and pride on a remarkable 2025 for Toowoomba Anglican School – a year marked by growth, community spirit, and shared purpose.

WELCOME AND TRANSITION

I am deeply thankful for the warm welcome I received upon joining TAS just prior to the Easter school holidays. It has been a privilege to step into this community of learners, educators, and families, who so clearly embody our school values of togetherness. I have been living our core values this year - “Together we BELIEVE, Together we CARE, Together we LEARN and Together we THRIVE”.

I wish to sincerely thank Miss Trina Faint, who led the school with great dedication as Acting Principal during Term One and supported my transition into the role. Every school has its own culture and rhythm, “the TAS way”, and I have greatly appreciated Miss Faint’s guidance and the goodwill shown by all staff, students, and families as I settled in.

GOVERNANCE AND COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS

A thriving school rests upon the strength of its partnerships, and TAS is fortunate to be supported by dedicated governance and community bodies.

My thanks go to the School Council, our governance arm, for their strategic oversight and steadfast support. I particularly acknowledge Mr Mac Drysdale, Chair of Council, for his leadership, mentorship, and care for our school and its wider community. A Chair’s role is often a quiet and thankless one, but Mac’s contribution has been both visible and deeply valued.

The Toowoomba Anglican School Foundation, led by Mr Peter Buchanan, continues to make an extraordinary difference in the life of the school. This year, the Foundation contributed $200,000 towards the Gill Precinct, alongside its ongoing bursary support for families in need. I thank the Foundation for its generosity, friendship, and vision.

Our Alumni Association (TASA) has also played a vital role in strengthening community ties by hosting events from lawn bowls, to get togethers, to netball matches, reconnecting past students, and supporting current families through a bursary program. After an incredible 19 years of service, Mr Andrew Drysdale stepped down this year as President. I thank Andrew for his long-standing commitment and acknowledge Mr Craig Brittian for his leadership during the year and Ms Simone Redwood, who will guide the Association into its next chapter as the incoming President.

The Parents and Friends Association, under Mr Pete Hewett’s leadership, has been another shining example of community engagement. The Twilight Fete was a highlight of the year, not only raising important funds for the school but, more importantly, building connections and joy across our community.

COMMUNITY AND CULTURE

The sense of belonging and shared purpose that defines TAS has continued to flourish in 2025.

Our Winter Woolies Charity Day raised almost $1,000 for the Queensland Cancer Council and Base Services Toowoomba – a tangible expression of compassion and service.

The Performing Arts Department once again shared their gifts with the broader community, performing at both the St Luke’s Organ Restoration Fundraiser Concert, St Anne’s Open Day and at nursing homes throughout the region where their contributions were warmly received.

Our community fund raising at every chapel service has been a true highlight where families have literally donated tonnes of food stuffs to the St Luke’s Anglican Church food pantry and as you can imagine, this has been well received by Rev Neil’s team of helpers.

The Year 12 major fundraiser has been the Leukemia Foundation’s Shave for a Cure. This year the staff and students raised more than $12,000 to support this very worthy cause.

I had the honour of being involved in Mothers’ Day, Fathers’ Day and Grandparents’ Day events as well this year. I do believe that we do Grandparents’ Day, in particular, especially well. I’ve been working and leading Anglican schools across the country since 1994 and I think we do this event better than any school I have seen.

And, of course, the recent Twilight Fete, coordinated by our tireless P&F team, was a joyful celebration of all that makes our school special.

LEADERSHIP AND STAFFING

This year also brought significant staffing transitions and exciting new appointments.

After nine years of exceptional service, Mr Jason Locke concluded his role as Head of Primary to take up a new position at Matthew Flinders Anglican College on the Sunshine Coast. Jason’s warmth, leadership, and dedication will be deeply missed, and we wish him every success.

We also farewelled Mr David Klan, Head of Secondary, whose compassionate leadership and energy have left a lasting mark. Dave will remain part of our school community as a parent, and we wish him well in his new business venture in the UK and Europe.

Earlier in the year, Mr Scott Whitters concluded his time as Director of Boarding for family reasons. His successor, Mr Kyle Langman, joined TAS in Term Three from Rockhampton Grammar School, bringing rich experience from both Australian and international boarding settings. Kyle has already made a significant and positive impact on the daily life of our boarding community.

Looking ahead to 2026, we welcome several key appointments:

• Mr Mark Fancourt, Head of Secondary, from St Luke’s Anglican School, Bundaberg, where he was the Head of Middle School.

• Mrs Pam Staines, Head of Primary, from Fairholme College where she was the Head of Teaching and Learning.

• Mrs Chrissie Edwards, Head of Faculty – English and Languages. Chrissie has been working at the school for a number of years in our English department.

• Mrs Bianca Lingard and Ms Tammie Irons, as our new Middle Years Coordinators

I also extend my gratitude to Mr Craig Brittian for his excellent leadership as Year 7 Coordinator, as he transitions to a part-time role next year.

Change, while sometimes challenging, brings renewal and opportunity. These leadership transitions strengthen our capacity and ensure the continued growth of TAS into the future.

LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT

Academic excellence and a love of learning remain central to our mission. This year’s NAPLAN results highlighted strong Literacy and Numeracy outcomes, particularly in the early years, while identifying opportunities for further growth in Writing and Spelling. TAS has continued our tradition as the highest performing academic school in the region.

TAS has joined the Independent Schools Queensland Mathematics Program, a research-based initiative aligned with our pedagogical vision. Under the leadership of Dr Brett Rangiira, the school has also been developing the TAS Pedagogical Framework, to be launched in early 2026. This is something we are extremely proud of.

Our students have continued to achieve remarkable success across academic and enrichment programs, including:

• Regional champions in the Science and Engineering Challenge (Year 10)

• Regional winners in the Readers Cup (Years 9/10) advancing to the state finals

• Opti-Minds division winners and state finalists (Years 9/10)

• Ag Careers Immersion Camp participation, earning QCE credits (selected Year 10s)

• UniSQ Headstart students gaining university credit in advanced subjects (selected Year 11s).

THE PERFORMING ARTS

2025 was another outstanding year for Performing Arts at TAS. At the Toowoomba Eisteddfod, our ensembles and choirs achieved first place across multiple divisions, earning the prestigious Clive Berghofer Instrumental Aggregate Trophy.

Special recognition is due to:

• George (Year 12) and Ojas (Year 11), whose compositions were performed by the Queensland Symphony Orchestra

• Seven students were also selected for the Gondwana National Choir

• Numerous students representing TAS at the Queensland and Australian Honours Ensemble Programs

The Primary Musical, Alice in Wonderland, delighted near-capacity audiences and showcased the confidence and creativity our programs nurture. I also had the privilege of attending our Secondary Play, Pride and Prejudice, in Term Two. Both of these performances were outstanding. Those who were in attendance would agree they are at a near-professional level. This is something that our whole community can be proud of. Next year, our Secondary musical will be Footloose and I am already looking forward to this one – although please don’t ask me to dance (Mrs Johnstone can attest to that statement).

SPORTING LIFE AT TAS

TAS students continued to excel in sport, teamwork, and school spirit.

Highlights included:

Rugby – retained the Downs Super Schools Cup for the third consecutive year

Netball – four teams reaching grand finals, with runner-up finishes

Football – U13 and U17 team finishing runners-up in TAS United competitions

Volleyball – Intermediate Boys 2nd place and Senior Boys 4th

Camp drafting – outstanding representation at a number of events including most recently at Pittsworth.

Athletics – 3rd overall at QCIS, with several state representatives attending and gaining medals at the state championships in Townsville.

Andrew’s Cup – strong finish in several events with our primary girls Cricket – continued growth in team and player numbers

My thanks go to the staff, parent coaches, and families who make these programs possible – your commitment ensures that every student has the opportunity to participate, grow, and thrive.

CAPITAL WORKS AND GROWTH

The Gill Precinct project reached practical completion ahead of the Year 12 examinations in October. This transformative development provides modern, flexible learning environments to support our growing enrolments and enhance our middle years program into 2026 and beyond. I wish to recognise Mrs Elsa Geringer, our TAS Business Manager, who has worked tirelessly with builders and the project manager to bring this build in both on budget and on time. The Gill Precinct will be officially opened in March next year and coincide with our 115 celebrations.

LOOKING AHEAD

Our enrolments remain strong, with 754 students from Kindy to Year 12 and close to 100 boarders in residence. Interest continues to grow from regional Queensland and international families, affirming TAS’s reputation for quality education and holistic care. I have been particularly impressed with our growing partnership with Ritsumeikan Primary and Secondary School in Kyoto. In 2026, we will have primary and secondary students join our school throughout the year, building our school’s capacity to provide greater cultural understanding.

We are currently developing our 2026 Strategic Plan processes. The school is committed to instituting a collaborative co-design process involving students (from year 5, 7, 9 and 11), all staff, School Council, all parents, as well as from Associations and support groups such as the Alumni Association, the Foundation, the Parents and Friends Association and the Boarders Support Group. This strategic plan will guide the next chapter of our growth and lead into a new Built Environment Master Plan in 2027. We also look forward to celebrating our 115th Anniversary Gala on 21 March 2026, a night to honour our history and celebrate the generations, past and current, who have shaped and continue to shape TAS as a community.

CLOSING REFLECTIONS

As 2025 comes to an end, I give heartfelt thanks to every member of the TAS community – students, staff, parents, council, foundation, alumni, and friends – for your support, commitment, and belief in what our school stands for. Together, we continue to nurture young people of character, curiosity, and compassion.

I’d like to take a moment to acknowledge and thank our student leaders for their wonderful contributions this year. Head Boy George Lawrence and Head Girl Bonnie Bryant and in Primary, Judah Lean and Mikaela Londono, along with all the student leaders across Boarding, Primary and Secondary, have set a positive tone, shown great enthusiasm, and represented TAS with pride.

To all our student leaders, thank you for your energy, teamwork, and commitment to the life of the school.

Our students continue to impress with their achievements in and beyond the classroom, and these successes are supported by the dedication and care of our TAS staff. My sincere thanks to all staff for their ongoing hard work and integrity.

TAS remains, at its heart, a true village – one where every person matters and where faith, learning, and community unite to create something extraordinary.

Welcome from the SCHOOL COUNCIL

Ben Lyons | Deputy Chair, School Council

This year has seen significant progress in our Master Plan, most notably with the Gill Precinct project.

This major capital works project was ready for our Year 12 students to use for their final examinations in October. The project has been managed effectively, staying within budget with minimal variations. I would like to thank everyone involved for their hard work and dedication in bringing this important project to fruition.

In addition to the Gill Precinct, we have also completed the new staff car park, which provides an additional eight parking spaces, and the Principal’s residence. We are also planning for a new bus bay and a significant upgrade to our IT infrastructure, which has been identified as a key priority for the school.

This year we have farewelled a number of dedicated staff members, to whom we extend our sincere thanks and best wishes to. We have also farwelled two school executive members including Mr. Dave Klan, our Head of Secondary and Mr Jason Locke our Head of Primary.

Mr Klan will be leaving us at the end of the year to pursue a new career in the United Kingdom. Mr Klan has been a great Head of Secondary and the wider education industry will be the poorer for losing an educator and leader of his calibre.

Our Head of Primary Mr Jason Locke, after 9 years at the helm is leaving us at the end of 2025. Jason has accepted the position of Head of Primary at Matthew Flinders Anglican College on the Sunshine Coast.

Jason has been a cornerstone of the leadership team at Toowoomba Anglican School for the past nine years. His stewardship of the Primary Years has coincided with a period of significant growth and change. On behalf of the School Council, I acknowledge Dave and Jason’s outstanding service and ask that you join me in wishing them every success.

The School Council would like to also welcome our new Head of Secondary, Mr. Mark Fancourt, who will commence in 2026. Mr. Fancourt brings a wealth of experience from the independent education sector and a passion for educating the “whole child.” We also welcome Mrs Pamela Stains as our new Head of Primary, who has a wealth of leadership experience in K-12 settings. .

We also extend a warm welcome to Mr Kyle Langman who joined TAS as the new Director of Boarding in Term 4. Mr Langman joins TAS after forging an impressive record of fostering inclusive, values-driven residential communities that enable students to flourish academically, socially, and personally. We welcome Kyle, his wife Monique, and their children, Nathan and Hannah to TAS as they become an integral part of our school and boarding family.

This year, we welcomed Mrs. Crystal Wagner to the School Council. Mrs. Wagner’s appointment was confirmed by the Anglican Schools Commission, and she will serve a three-year term. We also endorsed the reappointment of Ms. Alison Kennedy for another term. The Council has identified a need to increase our legal and cultural diversity to better reflect our school community, and we will be actively seeking new members with these skills and backgrounds.

2025 has been a year of significant achievement and progress for Toowoomba Anglican School. Our record enrolments are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire school community. As we look to 2026, we are excited about the opportunities that lie ahead. With the support of our dedicated staff, our engaged parent community, and our enthusiastic students, I am confident that TAS will continue to go from strength to strength.

Welcome from the HEAD BOY & GIRL

Bonnie Bryant and George Lawrence

As we reach the end of our journey at Toowoomba Anglican School, it’s hard to believe how quickly time has gone by.

From our very first steps into Prep, being wide-eyed and wearing uniforms a few sizes too big, to now graduating as Year 12s, this school has truly become our second home.

Being part of this incredible community for so long has shaped who we are. We are proud to say we are ‘Preppies for life’ and what an honour it’s been to finish our final year, not only as Year 12 students, but as your School Captains and representing TAS alongside an amazing cohort. We could not be more grateful to have led with such a supportive, kind, and inspiring group of Year 12s.

Our grade has shown heart, humour, and strength in everything we’ve done, and every moment has been made special because we did it together. Thank you to all the student leaders who have worked with us and made our journey just as special. Thank you to all Year 12s for your contributions throughout the year, which have made our school a better place. When we think of our favourite memories, it’s the shared ones that stand out most. The laughter on camp buses, the final pool jump at the swimming carnival, the group huddles before exams, and, of course, our classes with our teachers. We will carry these memories forever.

We want to take the time to thank all of the incredible teachers at TAS. Thank you for your wisdom, patience, and your genuine care for us over the years. We’re grateful for every lesson, tutorial, last-minute assignment question and late-night marking session.

We also want to acknowledge just how special the school community is. Even though we’re walking through the Gatehouse for the last time, the memories, the friendly faces, the rituals and the joy of being a part of this school will always remain with us. Traditions and symbols like the Cape Chestnut Tree and the school war cry will always be a part of our lives, and the spirit of being a student here will follow us forever.

At the heart of TAS are the values that have been woven into our daily lives: Learn, Care, Believe, Thrive. We’ve seen them in action in every corner of this school from Prep to Year 12, and they’ve given us a foundation that will carry us into whatever comes next. We’ve learned how to ask questions, how to face challenges, and how to never stop growing. We’ve cared for each other and for our community. We’ve believed in our abilities, our school, and in the potential of every student who walks through the gate as learners, leaders, and friends.

As we prepare to take the next step, whether it’s university, work, travel, or something else entirely, we do so with excitement and pride. The friendships and the memories we’ve made at TAS will always be with us. From two ‘Preppies for life’, thank you TAS and we wish you all the very best for 2026.

TAS FOUNDATION

Peter Buchanan | TAS Foundation President

I would like to thank all of the hard working members of the Foundation and all of the support we get from the school and staff.

A special mention needs to go to Valma Dyer for all of the work and effort she puts in. She makes our roles within the Foundation significantly easier.

This year has been a year of transition within the Foundation with a change of the President and new members coming on to the committee as well as some departures.

I would like to thank Mat Sanson for his eight years as president, he left us in a very good position, as well Catherine Humphery, who was invaluable, especially in getting events off the ground. There has also been great change in the school with a new Principal appointed, the P&F and Alumni also have new management teams. So it truly has been a year of renewal.

So far this year we have had a busy fundraising schedule with a range of activities. The Long Lunch proved to be a very successful day, despite having a couple of false starts due to event clashes. It ended up being a wonderful day for those that attended on Main School Close. We are hoping that the event’s popularity will continue to grow into the future.

We also ran our annual Family Tennis Day, which always proves to be very popular. It is amazing that people say they are only playing for fun, but that all changes when you start to keep score. Congratulations to this year’s winners and place getters.

By far our most successful fundraiser for the year to date has been the reintroduction of the “Buy a Brick” campaign, in which we managed to raise a little over $37,000. The bricks for the campaign are being installed in the new Gill Precinct.

The Foundation capped off 2025 with its annual Golf Day and Ladies Lunch, which was warmly enjoyed by everyone who attended. Within the Foundation, we have goals and aspirations that we would like to achieve to keep growing the school as well as the assets that we manage. We have committed to the continued funding of two bursaries for the duration of time the recipient is attending TAS.

Also, we have made a major contribution of $200,000 to the school to assist with the Gill Precinct. This brings a total of $1.4 million that the Foundation has contributed to the school in the past 11 years.

We also manage a Tennis Scholarship that is being generously funded by a donor though the Foundation. This all comes at a great expense to the Foundation. We currently have approximately $1.4 million invested, income return is covering our current commitments.

Our long-term goals for the Foundation include continuing to grow the funds of the Foundation to around $5 million in the next seven years (yes, you have to think big). While building our funds we will continue to support the school with building funds and bursaries.

Our short-term goal is to raise about $350,000 next year so we can offer another bursary. Thank you to the TAS community for your ongoing and generous support of the Foundation.

It adds great benefit to the recipients of bursaries who would otherwise not be able to attend such a wonderful school and help enhance the infrastructure that is a benefit of the entire school community.

Parents & Friends ASSOCIATION

Pete Hewitt | P&F President

For the Parents & Friends Association, 2025 began with new leadership and three new Executive Committee team members

We welcomed Pete Hewett (President), Petra Avery (Vice President), Lydia Duddy (Secretary) and thanked Baden Crittle for his ongoing support as Treasurer. We thank the previous P&F teams who over many years developed a fantastic community.

This year we set to work with a vision and focus on ‘friendraising’ and community building to bring the TAS community together, under our new school Principal, Mr Johnstone. With new leadership for the P&F and various other supporting associations of the school, we set about strengthening the fabric that is our school community.

After some alignment in governance and strategic planning, the P&F team now works more closely alongside the school executive to foster a positive community culture between the school and families. The P&F is for everyone and enables our families to all be involved in the school journey for our children.

From a small sausage sizzle at the parent-teacher interviews, to the wonderful success of the Black Auto Group Twilight Fete, the parents and friends of TAS came together in 2025 to support each other and the School in building friendships, community spirit and creating lifelong memories for our children.

TAS families had fun helping at the junior and senior performances, we enjoyed the buzz of running the canteens at sports and chess carnivals, we shared the excitement with the kids as they selected gifts at the Mother’s and Father’s Day stalls and joined the fun of the fete games, rides and stalls.

Our parents helped with sporting teams as coaches and volunteers, bopped to the tunes at Grandparents and Special Persons Day, and volunteered at the tuckshop.

They bought books for the library, admired the Beautiful Baskets, cooked barbecues, celebrated artworks and the performing arts, shared meals, had class parties, connected with our class reps network, made new friends and we raised some funds!

We had fun, we laughed, we helped and supported each other through our individual journeys.

We strengthened our community and celebrated all that is TAS.

Our P&F very much thank the hard working mums and dads who have helped make 2025 one to remember so positively.

We all look forward to what next year brings as we continue to build the TAS community, and who knows - we may even see the Main School Close clock tick again!

TAS ALUMNI

Mr Craig Brittan | Outgoing TASA President

This year has marked a significant chapter in the life of the Toowoomba Anglican School Association (TASA)

A year defined by transitions, legacies, and the intent to evolve with the needs of the past students, families, and staff of our fine school. As the Association continues its mission to foster connection and lifelong engagement within the Toowoomba Anglican School community, this year has seen a changing of the guard, with longserving committee members passing the baton to a new generation of passionate contributors.

The strength of the TASA has rested on the shoulders of dedicated individuals whose commitment to service, stewardship, and communitybuilding has shaped the very fabric of our alumni network.

The efforts of Andrew Drysdale (15+ years), John Herbert (20+ years), and Chris Johnson (20+ years) have ensured that past students have remained connected not only to each other, but to the values and traditions that define our school.

This article is but a small moment to honour the legacy they have nurtured: the events they helped bring to life, the stories they preserved, and the relationships they nurtured across generations.

The contributions of committees past have laid a foundation of excellence and inclusivity that will continue to guide the TASA in the years ahead as we delve into a new chapter which calls for TASA to extend our engagement to include and celebrate the school’s secondary school graduates, many of whom we hope to welcome back at some point so they can add to the fibre of our senior cohorts.

TASA’s new leadership signals a cementing of purpose, acknowledging that the strength of our alumni community lies in its ability to evolve while remaining anchored in its core values.

Already, these new members have begun shaping the future of the Association with enthusiasm and vision.

From exploring innovative ways to engage alumni across digital platforms, sponsoring significant events in the life of the school, to reimagining events that reflect the diverse interests and experiences of our graduates, their contributions are breathing new life into our shared mission.

Our Year 12 Barefoot Bowls event has been one example of this and is set to become a significant event where we provide an opportunity to link our senior students with our alumni members.

This year has also seen the development of documents that clearly articulate TASA commitments and aspirations. The Alumni Charter, in particular, has emerged as a signature piece that formalises who we are and what we do. It is a document born of reflection and dialogue, and it serves as a point of reference for decision making - ensuring that we continue to grow a relevant alumni network that can contribute to the fibre of our school community for generations.

As we look ahead, we do so with confidence. The changing of the guard is not merely a shift in personnel - it is a reaffirmation of our shared belief in the power of community. It is a moment to pause, give thanks, and then press forward with renewed purpose. To those who have served, thank you. Your legacy is woven into every story we tell and every connection we foster.

Together, we continue to build something enduring - a network of relationships that spans generations, honours tradition, and embraces the future with open arms.

Welcome from the DEPUTY PRINCIPAL

Miss Trina Faint | Deputy Principal

As I reflect on the year that was, I am filled with pride and gratitude for the incredible energy, growth, and spirit that has defined our school community in 2025.

It has been a busy and vibrant year, filled with opportunities for students to challenge themselves, take safe risks, and embrace new experiences with enthusiasm and courage.

One of the great joys of working in education is witnessing students step outside their comfort zones—whether in the classroom, on the stage, in sporting arenas, or through leadership and service.

Our students continue to impress with their willingness to “give it a go,” and it is this attitude that strengthens our culture of resilience, curiosity, and community.

This year also brought new professional experiences for me. I had the privilege of serving as Acting Principal during Term One, guiding our school through a period of transition before warmly welcoming our new Principal, Mr Nick Johnstone, in Term Two.

Additionally, I stepped into the role of Acting Director of Boarding for several weeks in Term One and throughout Term Three. It was a pleasure to work alongside our dedicated boarding staff and to support our wonderful boarding students—always a highlight of my year.

The pages of this Yearbook offer a rich snapshot of the year gone by. They showcase the many ways our students, staff, and families contribute to the life of our school. From academic achievements to creative pursuits, sporting triumphs to community service, this publication is a celebration of all that makes our school special.

A heartfelt thank you to our TAS Alumni team, the hardworking Foundation Committee, and our ever-supportive P&F volunteers. Your ongoing contributions help shape the future of our school and ensure that our community continues to thrive.

“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” — Helen Keller

Please enjoy this reflection of 2025—a year of growth, connection, and shared success.

Gill PRECINCT

Mrs Elsa Geringer | Business Manager

A Bold Step Forward in Learning and Wellbeing

2025 marks a transformative milestone for Toowoomba Anglican School with the completion of the Gill Precinct—a visionary new facility at 51 Wirra Wirra Street. Replacing an existing residence, this two-storey development is set to become a vibrant extension of our campus, seamlessly integrating education, sport, and community into one dynamic hub.

In collaboration with BURLING BROWN ARCHITECTS and NORTHBUILD CONSTRUCTION, the school has brought this project to life—combining thoughtful design with expert execution.

At the heart of the design are THREE GENERAL LEARNING AREAS (GLAs), all equipped with operable walls to allow for larger group activities and collaborative teaching. These spaces will enhance our curriculum delivery, especially in Health and Physical Education (HPE).

The building features a STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING SUITE, tailored for secondary students and sports teams. This gym will be a game-

changer—providing all-weather training, upgraded equipment, and a space that supports both physical fitness and mental wellbeing.

A standout feature is the TIERED OUTDOOR SEATING overlooking our tennis and netball courts. This space will serve as an outdoor classroom, a strength and conditioning zone, and a viewing area for sports training and events. Adjacent to it is OUTDOOR SEATING, which will offer a relaxed setting for learning, socialising, and community gatherings.

The new building also includes MODERN AMENITIES AND CHANGE ROOMS, solving a long-standing issue of students having to cross a public road to access facilities.

With improved STORAGE, dedicated STAFF OFFICES, and versatile spaces for PARENT AND COMMUNITY MEETINGS, the Gill Precinct is more than a building—it’s a hub for learning, wellness, and connection. It reflects our commitment to innovation and our belief that education thrives in spaces that inspire.

TAS CHAPEL

Mr Pat Wysel | School Counsellor

WORSHIP

Students engaged in Chapel services that delved into Biblical teaching, God, prayer, and life, making these gatherings a highlight of our school year. Different classes took turns leading both primary and secondary services, fostering a sense of ownership and community. We also had the privilege of hosting several special events, including staff services, Caps and Candles, the Chapel Choir induction, the Easter Service, and the Carols Service. Each occasion provided meaningful opportunities for our community to connect with their faith and build lasting relationships within our school community.

TAS CHAPEL TEAM

This year, TAS deepened our missional partnership with the TAS Chapel Team, in collaboration with members of St Bart’s Anglican Church. We were excited to offer a range of activities, including regular chapel services, ecumenical services with schools in the region, and ongoing pastoral care, ensuring meaningful engagement with our students. This partnership has further solidified the relationship between the school and the church, allowing the Gospel to remain a vibrant presence in the life of the School. Through shared experiences and community support, we continue to nurture a strong spiritual foundation for our students.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

Students from Prep to Year 12 participated in engaging RE lessons throughout the year, exploring themes of faith, ethics, and religious belief through the six strands identified in the Anglican Schools’ Shared Syllabus.

These strands include:

• T he Bible and Christian Belief

• Christian Traditions and Practices

• World Religions and Worldviews

• Christian Living

• T he Inner Life

• Philosophy of Religion and Ethics

This comprehensive curriculum allowed students to deepen their understanding of diverse beliefs while developing their own perspectives on faith and morality. Each lesson aims to encourage thoughtful discussion and reflection, enriching the spiritual and ethical foundations of our students.

SERVICE

It was beautiful to see the generosity of students all throughout the School. Together with their families and members of the community, students provided food for those in need in our community through the St Luke’s Pantry this year. Other service projects have also been a joy to support in both the Primary Options program and Secondary Thrive activities. Students have been fortunate to engage with several other service activities throughout the year. Opportunities included raising money for social causes through clothes drives, book stalls, and toy stalls, participating in Winter Sleepout, and supporting organisations such as the RSPCA and Hope for our Children. As another year ends, it is a great time to reflect and look at the incredible example of Jesus; life of faith and service to all of us through his birth, life, death, and resurrection. For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6

Year in Review PRIMARY

Jason Locke | Head of Primary

As we turn the final pages of another school year, I am reminded that schools are places of constant movement.

Each day, our students take small but significant steps forward— steps that build not just knowledge, but resilience, confidence, and character.

This year has been a remarkable journey of moving on, growing, and celebrating the experiences that shape us. From our youngest learners bravely entering their first classrooms, to our oldest Primary students preparing for the next chapter of their schooling, growth has been at the heart of our story.

Along the way, we have shared many moments that remind us of the joy of learning and the importance of community. The year began with much excitement and anticipation as students embarked on camps that challenged and inspired them.

Our Year 5 students ventured to Tallebudgerra, where the beachside setting became a backdrop for teamwork, courage, and leadership. Meanwhile, our Year 6 cohort journeyed to Canberra, immersing themselves in the history and governance of our nation.

These experiences stretched each student to step beyond the familiar, to live out our values of curiosity and courage, and to carry those lessons into their everyday lives.

Back at school, our community gathered for some of the most treasured annual traditions. Book Week once again transformed our school into a colourful parade of imagination, as characters leapt from the pages of beloved stories and reminded us of the power of reading to open new worlds.

The School Musical gave students the opportunity to shine on stage, building confidence and showcasing the depth of creativity within our community. Whether performing under the lights or working behind the scenes, each child discovered new ways to express themselves and to contribute to something bigger than themselves.

Our Mothers’ Day and Fathers’ Day events were cherished occasions to celebrate the families who give so much to our school. The joy on children’s faces as they offered handmade gifts or shared a special breakfast with their loved ones was a reminder of the strength of the partnerships that nurture our students’ growth.

Similarly, the School Fete brought together parents, students, staff, and friends of the school for a vibrant day of laughter, community spirit, and shared pride in what we achieve together.

Through all of these events, and countless quiet moments in classrooms and playgrounds, our students have been learning what it means to grow—not only in knowledge, but also in kindness, responsibility, and empathy.

Each experience, whether it was trying something new, stepping up to lead, or offering a helping hand to a friend, has been a stepping stone on their journey of becoming.

As we now prepare to move on to a new year, I want to acknowledge the incredible contributions of our teachers, staff, and families who make this journey possible. Together, we create the environment in which our students can thrive.

To our graduating Year 6 students: you carry with you not only your memories of camps, concerts, and classrooms, but also the lessons of resilience, courage, and hope.

May you continue to grow with each step you take. And to every child in our school, remember—each ending is also a beginning, and the best is yet to come.

As I personally complete my nine-year journey as the Head of Primary at this fantastic school, I will hold close the memories of individual achievements, long imagined projects that came to fruition, the development of a robust curriculum, teaching and learning framework and the cherished friendships I have made with student, parents and staff alike.

I know that I leave the school in a fantastic position for future growth and I thank each and every person who has joined me as we travelled this adventure together since 2017.

Year in Review KINDY

Mrs Jenna Goleby | Director of Kindergarten

A Year Full of Discovery and Joy in Kindy

This year in Kindy has been nothing short of amazing!

The children’s enthusiasm and eagerness to learn have made every day exciting and rewarding. It’s been incredible to watch them grow, develop new skills, and deepen their understanding of the world around them.

At Kindy, play isn’t just fun—it’s how children explore, ask questions, and make sense of their environment. Our dedicated team has focused on creating a rich variety of playful learning opportunities that encourage creativity, problem-solving, and friendship. This approach has supported the children’s emotional, social, and cognitive growth in meaningful ways.

Our involvement in school-wide celebrations such as Pyjama Day, Book Week, Under 8’s Day, and the Kindy Athletics Carnival has brought a wonderful sense of connection and excitement. These events gave the children a chance to be part of the wider community while creating joyful memories.

One of the highlights this year was our Buddy program with Year 5 students. These weekly meetups were special times of sharing, learning, and caring. Both older and younger children looked forward to their time together, building friendships and developing important social skills.

Family involvement has played a huge role in our year. Welcoming parents, grandparents, and carers to celebrations like Come and See morning tea, Father’s Day, Mother’s Day, and Grandparents Day added warmth and richness to our program, strengthening the bonds between home and Kindy.

Our outdoor spaces have been a constant source of wonder. From tending the worm farm to spotting native birds and insects in the vegetable garden, nature has offered endless opportunities for discovery. The arrival and hatching of baby chicks was a magical experience that captivated everyone and sparked ongoing curiosity.

When the weather got warmer, the children dove into sensory play— building rivers in the sand and mud, crafting mud pies, and sailing little boats. Our excursions to Queenies Paddock gave them the freedom to explore nature, gather treasures, and enjoy unstructured outdoor play.

Reflecting on 2025, it’s clear that Kindy has been a place filled with laughter, learning, friendship, and growth. We are deeply thankful for the joyful moments we have shared together and look forward to what lies ahead for the Kindy 2025 cohort in the years to come.

Year in Review PREP

Mrs Lou Darr & Mrs Susie Eales

Congratulations to our amazing 47 Prep students for completing their first year of formal schooling in 2025!

We have had a wonderful year celebrating birthdays and milestones like losing first teeth, learning to read and making new friends.

Throughout the year, our Preps embraced countless learning opportunities, learning to love reading, and blossoming into writers, mathematicians, scientists, and caring citizens. They truly flourished in the nurturing environment of the Prep Centre, which helped them grow and thrive.

The Prep year was filled with many memorable moments, and some of their favourites included the celebration of 100 Days of School, where they dressed up as little old men and women, the Mr. Men and Little Miss culminating activity, and the excitement of Book Week.

The students took great pride in their growth and accomplishments throughout the year, which was often demonstrated by their big beaming smiles!

We wish our Preppies every success as they continue their educational journey. With their wonderful aspirations of ‘When I Grow Up,’ our future is certainly in capable hands.

Year in Review YEAR 1

Mrs Katrina Eames & Mrs Leisa Adams

At TAS, our values of Believe, Care, Learn and Thrive are the foundation of how we nurture learning across every part of school life.

Chapel services, special assemblies, the THRIVE program and Religion lessons have provided key opportunities for students to engage meaningfully with their learning, approach challenges positively and celebrate success.

From the sporting field to the classroom, the playground to the library, and even through music, Year 1 students have been able to develop confidence, knowledge and skills in many different ways.

Each child brings their own unique qualities to our school community, and these contributions are highly valued and deeply appreciated.

The kindness and respect shown towards one another has fostered a sense of belonging and helped many students build lasting friendships.

Throughout the year, students also enjoyed taking part in a variety of community events including sporting carnivals, Mother’s and Father’s Day breakfasts, Under 8s Day, Book Week, the QFES visit, and our endof-year celebrations.

Learning at TAS extends far beyond the classroom walls, with countless opportunities to demonstrate understanding and creativity in different settings.

Whether observing insects in their natural environment around Main School Close, building constellations with marshmallows and pop sticks

in Science, sharing a love of reading in the library, coding Lego creatures in the Tech Box, or doing gymnastics in the Millennium Centre, the Year 1 students experienced learning in diverse and engaging ways.

Students at TAS flourish not only because of the variety of rich experiences they encounter but also through the ongoing support of the wider school community.

We are grateful to our parents and families for their encouragement across the year—whether by attending school events, ensuring uniforms are worn proudly, or keeping open communication with us—these partnerships are invaluable.

We also extend our heartfelt thanks to our dedicated Teacher Aides, Mrs Newton and Mrs Zwolsman, whose guidance, care and expertise have supported each child in reaching their personal goals.

As teachers, it is truly rewarding to reflect on a year filled with joy and achievement.

We have been privileged to witness each student’s enthusiasm, imagination, effort and diverse talents as they have grown and developed.

Congratulations on your many successes, thank you for embracing challenges with determination, and we look forward with confidence to all the future learning opportunities that await you.

Year in Review YEAR 2

Ms Tammie Irons & Mrs Silver White

What an unforgettable year 2025 has been for Year 2!

Our students have been busy developing new skills, deepening their curiosity, and sharing in countless memorable experiences across all learning areas.

From weekly Chess lessons and fascinating excursions to our very first Eisteddfod performance, it has truly been a year filled with growth and excitement!

In TERM ONE, we explored Our Place in the World, learning about continents and oceans through hands-on and interactive activities. We also began The Resilience Project, our wellbeing program that encouraged us to reflect on gratitude, empathy, and mindfulness while developing our emotional literacy.

TERM TWO was a musical adventure as we prepared for our debut at the Toowoomba Eisteddfod! All that practice paid off when we proudly achieved 2nd place in the Primary Junior B Grade Choir. Although a few nerves were felt before stepping on stage, every student showed courage and teamwork to deliver a wonderful performance. Our first big excursion to Peacehaven Park with the Amaroo Environmental Education Centre was another highlight. We learned about Indigenous connections to Country, used mapping technology, and expressed stories through symbols.

In TERM THREE, history came to life during our visit to The Royal Bulls’ Head Inn. Students stepped back in time to experience what life was

like long ago—washing clothes on a washboard, playing knuckles and croquet, solving Morse-code puzzles, and even making butter by hand! Dressing up in historical costumes made the day even more memorable.

Our weekly Chess lessons with Mr Lord continued throughout the year, challenging our problem-solving and critical-thinking skills. The Primary Schools Chess Tournament gave us a chance to put our new strategies into practice and celebrate how far we had come.

The fun continued in TERM FOUR with our excursion to the Cobb & Co Museum, where we explored Toowoomba’s rich past through interactive displays. In Science, our Earth in the Solar System unit took us on a journey beyond our planet as we learned about the sun, moon, and stars.

The ultimate highlight of the year was undoubtedly Year 2 Camp! For the very first time, students experienced the excitement of camping at school—some in tents with their parents on Main School Close, and others in the classroom with Ms Irons and Mrs White. It felt just like a giant sleepover! We swam, played games, scooted through the cloisters, enjoyed a movie night, and made memories to last a lifetime.

After such a wonderful year of learning, laughter, and adventure, Year 2 2025 is ready to take on the challenges and discoveries that await in Year 3!

Year in Review YEAR 3

Mrs Bethany Graham and Miss Rebecca Siganto

What an incredible year it has been in Year 3!

Both 3A and 3B have taken part in a wide range of activities and experiences, each designed to stretch their learning, build new skills, and nurture their growing independence and confidence.

It has been a joy to watch every student embrace new challenges and flourish throughout the year. In the classroom, students achieved tremendous growth.

In Mathematics, they strengthened their number knowledge, becoming more fluent with facts and tackling increasingly complex problems.

In English, students refined their writing through careful use of language structures and enjoyed exploring rich stories such as Matty Forever and Charlotte’s Web. Spelling knowledge was enriched through the introduction of the SpellEx program. Book Week was another favourite, with the introduction of the new and very popular ‘Book Week Quiz.’

Science encouraged curiosity as students carried out investigations— making predictions, recording results, and drawing thoughtful conclusions. A highlight of the year was Science Week, when guest presenter Mr. Ted Carter captivated the classes with his spectacular demonstrations.

HASS centred on our students exploring our country and nearest neighbours, comparing climates and cultures.

Year 3 life also extended well beyond the classroom throughout 2025.

In Term 2, students proudly performed in the Year 3 Choir at the Toowoomba Eisteddfod. Each child also learned to play a string instrument through the Year 3 String Immersion Program, later returning to the Eisteddfod in Term 3, where their ensemble was awarded ‘Highly Commended.’

The same term also brought the colourful production of Alice in Wonderland, where every student took to the stage with enthusiasm.

Camp at Lake Cooby was another highlight, offering students a chance to step outside their comfort zones, take on challenges, and experience their first overnight camp away from home.

Adding to the variety of experiences, the Thrive Options Program allowed students to explore their own interests every Friday afternoon, giving them opportunities to try something new and fun each week.

This year would not have been possible without the incredible support of our teacher aides and specialist staff, who contributed so much to the success of Year 3.

Most of all, we thank our wonderful students—their energy, hard work, and bright personalities made 2025 such a memorable year.

Year 3 was truly the place to be!

Year in Review YEAR 4

Mrs Jodi Whittle & Miss Lisa Singleton

This year has been one of energy, discovery, and achievement for Year 4 at Toowoomba Anglican School.

Students embraced new challenges, grew in independence, and enjoyed many exciting opportunities inside and outside the classroom.

In MATHEMATICS, they tackled fractions, decimals, and larger algorithms while working to recall number facts quickly and accurately. Their expanding level of skill and confidence allowed them to engage with tasks of increasing problematic complexity.

ENGLISH was alive with imagination and expression. Students created advertisements and radio scripts to persuade an audience, explored Dreaming stories, and even wrote their own. A class study of The Twits inspired them to experiment with descriptive language, while research projects on invasive species built their skills in researching and presenting information.

Through HASS, students investigated early Australian history and learned about life before and after European settlement. Their studies explored world biomes, the importance of environments and sustainable practices. Students examined the roles and responsibilities of their local council and the diversity of cultural, religious and social groups.

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY offered opportunities to experiment, investigate, and invent. From studying ecosystems and the water cycle to designing games based on forces, Year 4 became hands-on scientists. In Technology, they coded Scratch projects and programmed Ozobots, applying digital tools with growing confidence.

Highlights beyond the classroom included the adventure-filled Camp Somerset, the joy of the Band Immersion Program, and enthusiastic participation in Swimming, Athletics, and Cross-country.

Options sessions allowed students to try new skills such as Sport, Chess, Dance, and Craft, while Book Week encouraged a love of stories and reading.

Service and community were also central to the year. Students planted gardens, ran donation drives, visited aged-care residents, and joined sustainability projects, developing empathy and a sense of responsibility to others.

It has been a year filled with teamwork, creativity, and personal growth. The Year 4 teachers are proud of every student and excited to see what they achieve next.

Year in Review YEAR 5

Mrs Emma Harrison & Mrs Tanya Lowein

A Year of Hero Quests, Handball and Huge Growth

The 2025 school year was a memorable one for the Year 5 students of Toowoomba Anglican School. Both 5A and 5B embraced their journey with enthusiasm, energy, and courage, making it truly a year of Hero Quests, Handball and Huge Growth.

TERM 1 – NEW BEGINNINGS

The year began with Miss McIntyre guiding 5A while Mrs Harrison enjoyed Long Service Leave. Both classes settled quickly into the routines of upper primary, tackling new responsibilities with maturity. A major milestone was the completion of NAPLAN, where students demonstrated focus and perseverance.

In HASS, students investigated the colonisation of Australia, which was brought to life through the excursion to Saint Helena Island. This unique experience helped students imagine the hardships of early colonial life and deepened their understanding of Australia’s past.

In Science, they explored fascinating topics about animal and plant adaptations, providing a strong foundation for the inquiry-based learning that would continue throughout the year.

TERM 2 – EUREKA!

The highlight of Term 2 was undoubtedly the Gold Rush game, which brought history to life as students role-played life on the diggings. Alongside this, the novel The Night They Stormed Eureka by Jackie French gave powerful insights into the era and provoked thoughtful discussion.

In Science, students examined changes to the Earth’s surface, building their understanding of erosion, weathering, and natural events. STEAM lessons linked perfectly with this learning, as students worked collaboratively to create BTN-style news reports that combined research, writing, and digital presentation skills.

TERM 3 – ADVENTURE AND DISCOVERY

Term 3 started with great excitement as Year 5 embarked on a Gold Rush excursion, immersing themselves in the sights, sounds, and struggles of the 1850s. This hands-on experience gave context to their historical studies and set the tone for the term.

In English, students crafted imaginative fantasy stories, inspired by their class novel Rowan of Rin. Fractions were a major focus in Mathematics, and through persistence and practice, students made great progress. Science lessons shone brightly with the topic of Light, culminating in students delivering engaging science demonstrations that explained light concepts to their peers.

In HASS, the focus shifted to factors that change environments, connecting geography and science in meaningful ways.

Two unforgettable highlights were the Year 5 camp at Tallebudgera, where students developed independence, resilience, and teamwork, and the school musical, in which many Year 5 students proudly stepped into leading roles.

Adding to the excitement, we welcomed three visiting students from Ritsumeikan School in Japan, enriching our classrooms with culture, friendship, and shared learning.

TERM 4 – FINISHING STRONG

The final term of the year showcased how much Year 5 had grown.

In Science, students investigated the states of matter, while in English they developed creativity and expression through poetry. HASS studies turned to democracy and citizenship, helping students understand the importance of leadership, fairness, and active participation in their communities.

A cherished part of the year was the ongoing Kindy Buddies program. Throughout 2025, Year 5 students showed warmth, patience, and leadership as they read, played, and built connections with their younger peers—truly embodying the TAS spirit.

A YEAR TO REMEMBER

From handball battles at lunchtime to the triumphs of camp, from the challenges of fractions to the joy of creative writing, Year 5A and 5B have experienced a year of learning, laughter, and lasting memories. Their journey has been marked by resilience, imagination, and kindness. As they prepare to step into Year 6, they take with them the skills, friendships, and confidence built during this unforgettable year.

Year in Review YEAR 6

Mrs Ali McIntyre & Miss Jai Dwyer

What an incredible year it has been for our Year 6 students, their final year of Primary School at Toowoomba Anglican School.

It has been a year filled with challenge, growth, laughter, and unforgettable memories.

As teachers, we could not be prouder of the way each student has embraced every opportunity, supported one another, and made the most of their last year in the Primary Years.

In the classroom, the students continued to extend their academic knowledge and skills across all areas. With persistence and determination, they embraced challenging mathematical concepts and strengthened their understanding.

English lessons saw the class exploring the power of storytelling and language through the novels Boy by Roald Dahl and A Ghost in My Suitcase by Gabrielle Wang, sparking thoughtful discussion and analysis.

In HASS, there was a deep dive into Australia’s democratic history and the many ways our nation connects with other countries. Meanwhile, Science lessons took them beyond our planet to explore the mysteries of Space and into the fascinating world of electricity.

Beyond the classroom, there were countless highlights that made 2025 truly memorable. The Year 6 Camp to Canberra was a standout — visiting Parliament House, the Australian War Memorial, Questacon, and many more iconic sites.

We also had the wonderful experience of welcoming Lynn and Sana, our Japanese exchange students from Ritsumeikan School, who enriched our cultural understanding and formed lasting friendships within our TAS community.

Students took great pride in supporting their Prep Buddies, showing leadership, care, and responsibility as they built positive relationships with our youngest learners.

The Alice in Wonderland musical provided a magical opportunity for students to shine on stage and showcase their creative talents.

Of course, break times brought just as much joy with lively games of handball, touch football, and Kick Tennis between classes! Other highlights included the TAS Fete, the ACV Bligh Public Speaking Competition, and our finalists proudly representing TAS at Queensland’s Youth Parliament.

As this chapter closes, we wish every Year 6 student the very best for the exciting journey ahead.

May you continue to learn with curiosity, lead with kindness, and always be proud of the memories you created at TAS.

Year in Review SECONDARY

Mr David Klan | Head of Secondary A Year of Achievement, Creativity, and New Horizons

This year has been a remarkable journey for our school community, filled with achievements, creativity, and growth.

Maya Angelou once said, “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have,” and this sentiment perfectly captures the spirit of 2025.

At every turn, our students and staff have embraced opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and persevere, making this a year to remember.

Academically, our students have continued to excel, achieving outstanding results across the board.

Their dedication and hard work, supported by the tireless efforts of our exceptional teaching staff, have set a high standard for success.

This year, we have also seen incredible creations in subjects like Media and Visual Arts, where students have pushed the boundaries of creativity and innovation, producing works that challenge, inspire, and connect us.

These accomplishments highlight the diverse talents of our students and the strength of our academic programs.

The performing arts have also shone brightly this year.

Our secondary play, Pride and Prejudice, was a resounding success, with three sold-out performances that showcased the immense talent, passion, and hard work of our students and staff. An achievement that illustrates Dr Angelou’s vision of infinite creativity.

These moments remind us of the power of the arts to bring people together and to help us see the world in new ways.

In sports, our students have shown incredible determination and teamwork, with numerous teams reaching finals in Rugby, Netball, Volleyball, amongst others.

The sportsmanship and commitment demonstrated across the board have been nothing short of inspiring, and these achievements are a testament to the dedication of both our students and our coaches.

This year, we also welcomed several new teachers to our school, each bringing fresh perspectives, energy, and expertise.

Their contributions have enriched our community and strengthened our programs.

At the same time, we bid farewell to a few cherished staff members, whose impact will be felt for years to come.

A significant milestone this year was the arrival of our new Principal, Mr Johnstone whose leadership and positivity have brought a renewed sense of purpose and direction to our school.

As you turn the pages of this Yearbook, I hope it brings back fond memories of the moments, big and small, that have defined 2025.

From the triumphs on the field to the creativity in the classroom, from the friendships forged to the challenges overcome, this year has been a journey of growth, discovery, and achievement.

To our Year 12 students, as you prepare to embark on the next chapter of your lives, I encourage you to carry forward the lessons, friendships, and memories from your time here.

Your new journey is just beginning, and the skills and values you have developed will serve you well in the years ahead.

To all our students, staff, and families, thank you for making 2025 such a special year.

Together, we have achieved so much, and I look forward to seeing what the future holds for each of you.

Valedictorian SPEECH

Millie Roberts

Congratulations, I am so excited for us all.

Finishing school is such a monumental accomplishment and we shouldn’t underestimate the significance of what we have achieved today. However, there are a few people I would like to acknowledge. Thank you to all our parents and families. Without your immense generosity and support, I know that we wouldn’t be here today. Mum and Dad, I am so grateful for everything that you have done for me, and I think I can speak on behalf of the cohort and say that we are all incredibly appreciative for all that our parents, siblings, grandparents, aunts and uncles have done. Whether it be dropping us off at trainings or rehearsals, watching games and performances or helping with homework, you have been a constant and untiring pillar of support for all of us over the past thirteen years. We are so fortunate to have attended Toowoomba Anglican School and without the sacrifices you’ve made it wouldn’t be possible.

Thank you to all of our teachers. Your patience and dedication are things that we are all so lucky to have had. Your guidance over the past six years has facilitated the development of our fundamental skills relevant to academic, social, and professional endeavours. The genuine care and support you have offered us has ensured that we have not only been well prepared for assessment but prepared for life. On behalf of the boarders, I would like to thank all of the boarding and health centre staff especially Mrs Lingard, Mrs Piers-Blundell and Mr Biscoe, your unwavering support and compassion have ensured that we have been able to manage our lives away from home, allowing for us to be independent and If I could give any advice to the younger students, it would be to listen to your parents and teachers, but, most importantly, enjoy your experience and make the most of it. Life comes “from you” not “at you.” Your high school experience will be what you make of it. Don’t wait around watching life happen around you, get involved. Join that team, audition for that choir, talk to that person, ask that question. Although it may seem daunting and uncomfortable, that is what makes an experience worthwhile. If you don’t have to leave your comfort zone, then how do you know what you are capable of? Don’t settle for mediocrity just because you don’t think you are smart enough, sporty enough or good enough. Be brave enough to work hard, achieve your goals, and succeed. Embrace challenges. Embrace the things that make life hard, because that’s when you know it was worth doing in the first place. Grit and determination are essential qualities which will provide you with an innate ability and potential to succeed.

Now for the class of 2025, looking back on the past 13 years of schooling is for most people a vague and jumbled recollection of events. Maybe you might be able to remember a couple of school camps, a few swimming carnivals, getting in trouble in class, or mucking around with your friends at lunch. We have learnt many fundamental lessons: how to read, how to write, how to make friends. I don’t think that we should take for granted the big lessons we have learnt. One of the big lessons that school has taught me is to wake up and go again tomorrow. Perseverance is a quality ingrained into students. If you fail an exam or have a bad day, you just have to keep your head up and come back – no matter how much you don’t want to. This approach to life will be highly valuable and relevant for all of our pursuits in the future.

Regardless of how long each of us has been at TAS, there is a common thread that binds us. Even if we have not all been directly involved with each other all the time, we have watched each other grow up, and that is something special that will connect all of us for the rest of our lives.

So far all we have known is going to school, seeing the same people, the same teachers, completing the same routine every day for the past 13 years. It might seem scary to leave the security of the routine, but be comforted by the fact that change and unpredictability is what keeps life exciting. It gives you a purpose to meet new people and learn new things. This is the beginning of our lives. Enjoy this moment right now, revel in the uncertainty and potential of what is to come. We will never be this free from responsibility or obligations again. And if you find yourself overwhelmed by the idea that you could do anything, try to be excited by the prospect that you now can … do anything! Don’t let the fear of the unknown prevent you from reaping the rewards of what could be to come.

So, to the class of 2025, thank you, congratulations, and good luck.

Class of 2025

Last Day of School

Year 12 FORMAL

BUSINESS

Mrs Grace Shearer

Business has been dynamic, hands-on, and future-focused this year. Students across all year levels engaged with real-world opportunities to develop their enterprise skills, financial literacy, and strategic thinking.

Small Business Management students thrived through the $20 Boss program, where creativity and innovation were on full display at the market stalls. From handmade goods to food, it was noted that Cookies, Burgers, Milkshakes and Fairy Floss were among the most popular products sold.

Throughout the market days, students experienced the challenges and rewards of bringing a business idea to life. These stalls not only showcased entrepreneurial flair but also highlighted teamwork, resilience, and problem-solving. The students were also happy to report that proceeds and profits from the stalls were donated to the Western QLD Flood Relief and the Cancer Council.

The Business, Economics and Trading subject gave students a broader lens on how the global economy functions and how decisions made locally and internationally influence markets. Through the ASX Schools Sharemarket Game and economic investigations, students sharpened their analytical skills and developed a greater understanding of the complex systems that underpin business activity.

Senior students in Applied Business and General Business extended their expertise through case studies, projects, and assessments directly linked to real-world business practices. Applied Business learners focused on practical and workplace-relevant skills, while General Business students engaged in higher-order analysis of business environments and strategies. Both groups demonstrated initiative, adaptability, and commitment in meeting the challenges of their chosen pathway.

The General Business students enjoyed an excursion to Eastville as part of the IA2 assessment where they were required to visit McDonald’s and KFC, two mature businesses in the fast food industry. Students were able to compare and contrast the two businesses and prepare business reports where they were able to propose recommendations for improvement.

Another highlight for Year 12 Business was learning about Lewin’s Three Step Change Management Model using Ice-Cream to remember that it is always important to first “Unfreeze” before making a change and then to remember to “Refreeze” to solidify changes and make them stick.

Business education at TAS continues to inspire students to think critically, act responsibly, and create with purpose. The experiences gained this year will undoubtedly support them in their future studies, careers, and entrepreneurial ventures.

CREATIVE INDUSTRIES

Mrs Nadine Reynolds

“The fashion industry has an enormous amount to offer in what we do in industrial design because fashion is fast, fashion has its finger on the pulse. There are very few creative industries that work on that rhythm.” ~ Marc Newson (Australian Designer)

In 2025, a new unit in Creative Industries was launched. “Costume and Cosplay” filled the Artspace with 22 students ready to make costumes influenced by cosplay, contemporary fashion, and a love of history.

With so many students, it was quickly decided to reduce the scale of the work. The engagement of the students was outstanding with all resolving a full, albeit miniature, costume based on robust research and experimentation.

In the second unit in Semester One – Special fx, students perfected painting skills on their hands. The students enthusiastically embraced the theme - “Illusion.”

Our second semester saw more large classes for “Prop Culture.” Students experimented with ceramic and paper construction techniques. It was very pleasing to see students follow a robust aesthetic and inquiry process independently. Students enjoyed deconstructing electrical parts to repurpose a futuristic aesthetic with Star Wars’ lightsabers. Dragons came to the fore, ably created in paper. Works showed that students are showing expertise and a lovely degree of finish in this medium.

In the last term we did a deep delve into the Surreal. Students engaged in various playful activities to stimulate their imaginations. From these experimental works students chose their favourite process to complete a resolved work. The Year 10s are very well placed to take Visual Arts in Senior. I am looking forward to seeing what the Year 9s will do next year in “Mask, Timely, Accessories and Anime.”

DESIGN & DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES

Mrs Deborah Lagden-Hoey

In YEARS 7 AND 8, Enterprise continues to be a dynamic blend of digital design and technology. The program equips students with the foundational knowledge to confidently navigate the rapidly evolving digital world. With creativity, innovation, and enterprise skills at the core, students are challenged to work both independently and collaboratively while developing resilience and adaptability.

A priority across the curriculum remains fostering a broad understanding of the digital landscape, particularly safe and responsible engagement online. Students gained deeper insights into online safety, building essential skills to protect themselves and others.

A highlight in Semester Two was students designing and testing automated systems for fictional clients. By combining coding with creative problem-solving, they created systems that could detect intruders, trigger alerts, and control lighting—an authentic experience that showcased their ability to merge practical function with innovation.

Students also explored network systems, investigating integrated devices and data flow, before applying their knowledge through tools like Microsoft Excel to organise, manage, and visualise information.

The semester closed with the creation of digital games in Scratch, a project that further developed their programming, problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.

In YEARS 9 AND 10, enthusiasm for digital technologies continues to grow as students engage with complex and emerging fields. They explored network security, cryptography, big data, and artificial intelligence, demonstrating their adaptability and curiosity about the technologies shaping the future.

Practical skills were refined through coding robots with C++, operating drones with Python, and creating advanced websites using Adobe Dreamweaver. Students also experimented with augmented reality in Cospaces-Edu, creating interactive storybooks that were shared with early primary students. Explaining the technology to younger students gave them the chance to showcase both their technical skills and their ability to communicate digital concepts effectively.

Creativity took centre stage in graphical design, where students used CAD software Fusion 360 to produce detailed 3D models. These projects, integrated with 3D printing and laser cutting, highlighted how digital concept design transitions into professional prototypes, mirroring realworld engineering and product design practices.

We are happy to acknowledge the growth of ICT into the Senior Years in 2025 with our first cohort of ICT starting in YEAR 11 this year for the first time in a few years.

Students are developing advanced workplace-ready skills in digital communication, information systems, data management, and applied technologies, laying a strong foundation for diverse pathways in employment life beyond school.

The journey across all year levels reflects our commitment to nurturing future designers, developers, and innovators who are prepared to thrive in an increasingly digitalised world.

ENGLISH & LITERATURE

Mrs Chrissie Edwards

As we turn another page in the story of learning, we arrive at a chapter dedicated to the subject that bridges tradition and imagination: English and Literature.

This year at Toowoomba Anglican School, English continued to inspire, challenge and excite as students encountered the enduring voices of Shakespeare, Orwell, Conrad, Fitzgerald, Dickens, Golding and the haunting tones of Gothic literature in our chosen novels, poems and plays.

From witches and the supernatural, to timeless political intrigue and tragic tales, our classrooms became theatres of discovery where words leapt from the page and into the imagination.

At the centre of our learning was the journey of voices. Across the year, students travelled through centuries and genres, listening to the echoes of those who wrote before them while finding ways to shape their own. They read, analysed, debated and wrote with passion, cultivating creativity, critical thought and eloquent expression. In every classroom, multiple voices came together: those of the authors, the teachers and most importantly, the students themselves.

Our English Department remains proudly “bookish,” cherishing the irreplaceable richness of nuance and contemplation that great texts offer. At the same time, we celebrate each new perspective students bring, ensuring that English remains not only about studying voices from the past, but also about adding to an ever-expanding conversation in the present.

As this year comes to a close, we pause to celebrate those who have shaped our learning story as they depart Toowoomba Anglican School. We bid farewell to Mrs Brittany Graham, congratulating her on her promotion to a Head of Department role.

We also farewell Mr Dave Klan as he embarks on his own journey, exploring literature around the globe. Their guidance reminds us that just as every text is part of a larger narrative, every teacher too is part of the evolving story of our department.

Finally, we warmly congratulate Mrs Chrissie Edwards on her appointment as Head of Faculty – English and Languages, commencing in 2026.

As we close the book on 2025, we carry forward the journey of voices, past, present and future, that continues to shape our students as thinkers, readers and writers.

DRAMA

Piper Williams, Amelia Lowe, Hannah Wallis, Eddie Pocknee, Gabi Montefiore & Brooke Coggan

In YEAR 7 drama, we learned about melodrama and how it’s all about big emotions and dramatic characters. Each group was given a different story to act out, with villains, heroes and over-the-top characters. It was fun to practice the story and figure out how to make it more dramatic. It was also cool to watch the other groups perform their stories.

2025 YEAR 8 Drama was a whirlwind of learning, performing and fun! We dove into the world of drama conventions and explored human context and tension. To finish this exciting unit off, we each performed a scene from the play Reboot by Michael Costi in groups. Throughout this task, we focused on bringing out the tension and developed our acting and group work skills. After presenting our piece, we were required to write a reflection, supported by observations made while watching video recordings of it, allowing us to see points in which we did well and others where we could improve. Overall, Year 8 Drama was an amusing class filled with learning, practising, performing and reflecting, all skills that set us up for success later in life.

Units 1 and 2 of YEAR 9 Drama consisted of a performance from the play Shack and a folio for another play called Soul Trading. We worked hard getting our scenes together and our lines down for the performance. We enjoyed using our creativity and ideas to create a folio for Soul Trading, explaining things like how we would stage the play and the types of costumes we would use. Overall, Year 9 Drama was a very enjoyable experience, one which I would recommend for anyone who enjoys being creative and having fun while also getting the work done.

What makes a monster human? Do small choices matter? Who really tells the story in a trial? Is an exact copy of you still… you? In 2025, YEAR 10 Drama explored a wide variety of styles and themes, from epic to realism to gothic theatre. We began the year with Letters to Lindy by Alana Valentine, devising minimalist, Brechtian group performances that examined the many perspectives surrounding one grieving mother, a wild dingo, and the case that divided the nation. Next, we deconstructed gothic theatre in preparation for our excursion to Shake & Stir’s Frankenstein, a visceral exploration of morality that served as a brilliant launching point for reflective analytical essays. In Term Three, we participated in Queensland Theatre’s The Scene Project, Recalibrate, devising a fifteenminute ensemble piece illustrating the ripple effect of small choices, set against the backdrop of a lost briefcase in an airport terminal. Finally, we studied Daniel Evans’ 6000 Ways to Filter a Sunset, pitching, devising, and performing our own creative interpretations.

Drama in YEAR 11 has been extremely rewarding. In Term One, we performed Letters to Lindsy, which helped us become more comfortable on stage and connect with the audience. In Term Two, we worked on a photo project inspired by The Good Person of Szechwan, focusing on how women are represented in stories. We linked our ideas to the Barbie movie to explore social themes creatively. A highlight was seeing Frankenstein live in Brisbane, which showed how physical acting and design can transform a story. In Term Three, we studied Gothic Theatre through Where in the World is Frank Sparrow? And created pitches and performances that captured mood and imagination. This unit made us think deeply about style and storytelling. We also watched the Year 10 Scene Project, which was inspiring and showed the creativity in our Drama department. Overall, Drama has helped us grow as performers and creative thinkers. We’ve learned so much about expression, collaboration, and storytelling, and we’re excited to keep building on these skills next year.

YEAR 12 Drama is the combination and realisation of all the skills we have learnt up to this point and the strong bonds we have forged with each other. In Term One we put on a performance using excerpts from the politically charged play The Shot by Angela Betzien, allowing us to demonstrate our skills of acting and direction. In Term 2 we devised original production centred around using a key convention from the theatre of social comment. In Term 3 we reimagined the iconic Greek tragedy Medea by Euripides’ to be placed in a new context. All these tasks encouraged the participation of the entire grade, strengthening our friendships and allowing for the creation of many wonderful and hilarious jokes and references. Overall, Year 12 Drama was a fantastic time that I’m extremely glad to have been a part of and will miss next year.

FRENCH

Mrs Deborah Lagden-Hoey & Ms Guylaine Leduc

Learning French at Toowoomba Anglican School continues to offer students a unique opportunity to develop their communication skills and broaden their understanding of diverse cultures.

As one of the most widely spoken languages in the world, French opens doors to travel, international careers and further academic study.

The ability to engage with the French language not only builds confidence but also deepens students’ appreciation for history, community, and culture.

This year has been another exciting chapter for the French Department. Students actively engaged in speaking, listening, reading and writing tasks, working creatively to express themselves and show their growing proficiency.

The French Department is proud of the commitment shown by all students in 2025. Their willingness to step outside of their comfort zones and embrace another language demonstrates not only academic growth but also the global outlook we hope to encourage in every learner.

GEOGRAPHY

Miss Georgia Gleeson

“Geography is the subject which holds the key to our future.”

– Michael Palin

At TAS, Geography is far more than maps and flags - it’s a launchpad for curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking. From Year 7 to Year 12, students investigate the dynamic relationships between people, places, and the planet, asking meaningful questions and uncovering insightful answers.

YEAR 7 students made a splash by asking, how can something as everyday as water become a global issue? They explored the environmental significance and sustainable management of water. Along the way, they developed foundational geographical skills, such as fieldwork and spatial technologies, that helped them interpret the world like budding explorers. Their study of place and liveability culminated in a handson redesign of Webb Park. From toilet upgrades to BMX tracks, their proposals were bold, thoughtful, and community-minded—proof that even Year 7s can shape the spaces around them with purpose.

YEAR 8 students got hands-on with landforms and landscapes, focusing on geomorphology and the powerful forces that shape our planet. They examined how processes like erosion and tectonic activity interact with human influence, sometimes harmoniously, often disruptively. Later, they asked, what happens when nature and cities collide? Students embarked on a virtual journey to a megacity of their choice. From Tokyo to Dhaka, they explored urban challenges including population growth, infrastructure, and sustainability in some of the world’s most complex environments.

In YEARS 9 AND 10, students delved deeper into global issues through Environmental Management and Human Geography. In Environmental Management, they traced food from farm to fork, investigating how different biomes support agriculture. They tackled the challenge of feeding a growing population while maintaining ecological balance asking can we feed the world without costing the Earth? They then explored climate change, deforestation, and urbanisation, crafting informed and empathetic responses through case studies and data analysis.

Meanwhile, Human Geography students took a passport-free tour, examining the positive and negative impacts of tourism - from environmental degradation to ethical dilemmas. To climb Uluru or not? Should Machu Picchu be closed to preserve its heritage? Then it was back to the dinner table for a second helping of Food Security, this time through a human lens. Students debated whether Genetically Modified Foods could be the key to ending world hunger, especially with the global population projected to reach 10 billion by 2050.

YEAR 11 students investigated Natural and Ecological Hazards, analysing bushfires, floods, and disease outbreaks. They explored causes, consequences, and responses, balancing scientific understanding with human impact. Later, they conducted fieldwork in Toowoomba’s CBD for Planning Sustainable Places, evaluating urban design and accessibility, and comparing their findings with global megacities asking how do we design cities that are both liveable and sustainable?

YEAR 12 tackled Landcover Transformations and Population Change. At Hidden Vale, students examined how human activity reshapes the Earth’s surface, using satellite imagery and field data to assess land use and conservation strategies. In Population Change, they asked, what does a changing population mean for our future? Students mapped migration and demographic trends, exploring how shifting populations influence economies, environments, and communities.

Geography equips our students with the tools to think critically, act sustainably, and lead thoughtfully in an ever-changing world.

HEALTH & PHYSICAL EDUCATION

Mr Tom Bradbury | Director of Sport

Our PRIMARY Physical Education program seeks to introduce and develop a wide range of skills to develop ‘physical literacy’ across all year levels in a logical and progressive manner. In 2025 we have commenced a review of both the Primary and Secondary curriculum to further enhance the program and give our students the greatest opportunities to develop their physical potential. Our program introduces the concepts of run, jump, throw, catch and pass through a variety of games-based learning opportunities, and utilises the expertise of our internal staff in conjunction with external providers to provide additional opportunities.

Our SECONDARY Health and Physical Education is a mandatory component up to, and including, Year 10 and seeks to instill a lifelong commitment to physical activity through the breadth of lessons provided and the knowledge gained. Our Health lessons cover personal, community, and social health, along with physical aspects, aiming to equip students with valuable skills for their daily lives to enhance their ‘physical literacy’ and develop confidence in their physical ability. This program is being refined through our review process and will be enhanced in 2026 with the alignment of Health, and Physical Education units and lessons to support each other and be staffed by the same person for both subjects wherever practicable.

SENIOR STUDENTS have the opportunity to pursue Senior Physical Education leading to university level studies, or the Certificate pathways in Sport and Recreation or Fitness, which are more practically aligned in their nature.

Elective Physical Education is available to Year 9 and 10 students, providing an opportunity to deepen their knowledge while gaining insights into the Senior Physical Education Program. Students engage in higher level skill sports that challenge their physical literacy and deepen their understanding of the links between the theory and practice of Health and Physical Education.

All in all, it has been a busy year in our subject, which is often our students’ first chance to experience opportunities for not only successful participation, but lifelong enjoyment of physical activity.

HISTORY

Ms Karen Hopley

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the History classroom. Year 7 through to Year 12 covered it all. From Ancient Aztecs, Groovy Greeks, Valiant Vikings and Classical China to the Wars - Frontier, WWI and II, Vietnam, and the Cold War, and all points in between.

TAS History students learnt a great deal about history from our experienced and knowledgeable teachers who guided and inspired them through engaging lessons, thought-provoking discussions, and a deep passion for uncovering the past. Their commitment to helping our students understand not just the facts, but also the significance and impact of historical events, helped to shape our appreciation for the complexities of history and encouraged them to critically think about the world around us today.

That’s not to say that we didn’t have a lot of fun along the way. Our students explored many civilisations across the globe to find the answers to age old questions. Questions like:

Is Napoleon related to Julius Caesar? Turns out the answer is no since they lived 1800 years apart and in different regions, but Napoleon did fancy himself to be the Modern Caesar.

Was Nefertiti as beautiful and fearsome as she was made out to be? Her famous bust discovered in 1912 may have idealised her classic Egyptian beauty, but she did actually wield real political and religious power during a tumultuous time in Egypt’s history.

Did the Vikings actually visit the shores of the Americas? Yes, they did, specifically Newfoundland in Canada, around the year 1000 CE, approximately 500 years before Columbus.

Did Ancient Romans use urine as mouthwash? The answer is yes, really. The ammonia in urine made it a good, if pungent, cleaning agent for whitening teeth.

How did a bear named Wojtek enlist into the Polish army during WWII? Not only that but he carried ammunition during battles, drank beer, and eventually was promoted to corporal!

And just how many Industrial Revolutionist Inventors does it take to screw in a lightbulb? The answer is one and then they will hire a ten-yearold to climb up and actually screw it in!

Students also were able to dispel many myths they had been taught or read about. Turns out TikTok and AI don’t know all the answers to everything – lucky their teachers do!

How many of you have heard about the wooden bomb being dropped on the wooden airfield during WWII? An enemy decoy, built in occupied Holland, led to a tale of the German “airfield,” constructed with meticulous care, made almost entirely of wood. There were wooden hangers, oil tanks, gun emplacements, trucks, and aircraft. The Germans took so long in building their wooden decoy that Allied photo experts had more than enough time to observe and report it. The day finally came when the decoy was finished, down to the last wooden plank. And early the following morning a lone RAF plane crossed the Channel, came in low, circled the field once, and dropped a large wooden bomb. It is widely believed to be true, although it sits at the edge of legend and documented fact.

And did you know that Australia Lost a War to Emus? In 1932, the Australian military declared war on emus invading farmland. Despite using machine guns, the emus outsmarted the soldiers. Turns out History can be fun, if not a little weird.

Learning Enhancement Centre LEC STORE

Mr Rob Jefferies | Director of Learning Enhancement

This year was a memorable one for the Learning Enhancement Centre as our LEC Store made the big step to move to a weekly offering. Each Wednesday afternoon, until 4pm, some LEC students stayed behind and sold the products that they had made through the week.

The program is focused on specific life skills including maths, economics and business. This occurs through the application of functional mathematics skills as well as experiencing business and service industry activities.

Students received training in workplace, health and safety via online modules, PWIs and with Teagan Harch, the former TAS Café manager.

The products that are made during the lesson are later sold at the LEC Store, allowing students to be able to see the whole process of a small business venture.

Students contributed to the business venture at every step, from the initial creation of marketing materials, tracking budgets, working with Teagan on product selection of what to make, the cooking process, marketing through word of mouth activities and content for our social media accounts, taking the products to staff members to sell, selling products on the day, taking cash and providing change, using the ‘square machine’ and finally, cleaning up and checking that the sales and cash match the end of shift.

The on offer products ranged from jams, chutneys, rocky road, Tim Tam balls, biscuits, muffins and many other delicious treats. Funds raised have been used to buy extra resources for the LEC, particularly funding the aide support to continue the ‘business’ as well as purchasing tools and materials for the LEC that are accessible for any student.

Funds also went towards a range of board and strategy games for use at lunchtimes, which is attended by a wide range of students each Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday lunchtimes. Well done to all of the students involved with the LEC Shop this year.

LEGAL STUDIES

Mr Neil Goodwin

In 2025, we welcomed another group of enthusiastic critical thinkers to Legal Studies.

In Year 11, the focus was on the fundamentals of Criminal and Civil law. They began their Legal Studies journey by examining some of the foundational concepts upon which the Australian Legal System is built and then moving on to an introduction to Criminal Law in Queensland.

Students then examined the process of sentencing in Queensland, conducting an investigation into crime, youth justice, and sentencing.

In Unit 2, the Year 11 students gained a basic understanding of the principles of contract law and negligence before conducting an in-depth examination of either negligence in sport or medical negligence.

At the end of the year, they then commenced work on Unit 3 – Governance.

After a challenging 2024, Year 12 students embarked on their final year of Legal Studies by examining the principles of governance in Australia, helping them to develop an understanding of some of the major issues facing democratic countries around the world.

They then moved on to law reform in Australia with a focus on investigating privacy laws and technology in areas including facial recognition technology, artificial intelligence, and data breaches.

In the final unit, Year 12s examined Human Rights both globally and in Australia.

Legal Studies in 2025 proved to be a remarkable year and all students were engaged and thoughtful in their approach.

Students engaged in vigorous but respectful debate on various legal topics, expressing and justifying their own beliefs together with helping them to understand different and more nuanced views on issues that are often portrayed in a simplistic manner.

By exploring criminal and civil justice, governance, and human rights, students gained critical thinking and analytical skills, enabling them to approach legal issues with confidence.

MEDIA ARTS & FILM

Mr

Nicholas Otto

This year, the subject was very pleased to welcome back Mrs Megan Habchi who leant her irrepressible energy to the Year 7 and Year 9 Media Arts classes.

There continues to be a rising interest in the subject as students and parents alike recognise the importance of strong media literacy skills required to navigate our society. Also noticeable is the growing number of students who are pursuing media content creation outside of school hours. More than simply sharing content, these students have experimented with existing and emerging technologies like A.I. generated video to express themselves.

One notable example is Year 12 student Sam Russell who became progressively efficient at creating highly impactful videos promoting the rugby teams.

Fellow Year 12 student Brooke Coggan achieved a personal accomplishment by completing her Space Jesus trilogy which began when she was in Year 10.

In the final instalment, the titular Space Jesus arrives on Earth with his faithful companion Gabrielle and attempts to blend in with the human population with comedic results.

One of our most ambitious students, Peter Freeman delved into some dark subject matter for his TV series concept which followed the twisted games a pair of killers embark on. Peter’s follow-up was a more lighthearted affair showcasing his affection for 1960s cinema in a highoctane chase sequence.

Resident auteur, Thomas Vagg channelled perennial film student favourite Wes Anderson to take the viewer on the road less taken, literally.

Jos Thomas, who has gone from strength to strength in her productions, made a poignant reflection on the loss of childhood wonder.

Emily Zlotkowski’s Are You Mad? allowed the audience to experience what it feels like to live with a mental health condition, and Jess Edwards finally put aside her obsession with jellybeans and created the nightmare scenario of being trapped inside a series of never-ending classrooms.

In the junior cohort, Year 9 student Toby Wysel deserves enormous praise for developing a three-minute-long 3D animated music video.

Toby very cleverly applied the 3D modelling and animating techniques he had learnt over a relatively short time to create a highly stylised and moving piece of media.

Using the same software—Blender—Millicent Freeman continued to refine her skills in a truly frightening science fiction scene of an alien escaping its high-tech enclosure.

Micah Saleh also excelled with his science fiction scene showing a backalley deal going south very quickly.

Comparisons from peers were deservedly made to the Spiderverse movies in terms of the scene’s artistic style.

As always, it has been incredibly encouraging to see so many students in all the year levels who not only have a talent for media production but who are eager to learn more and are willing to put in the effort to produce high quality work.

MATHEMATICS

Dr Brett Rangiira | Director of Teaching

During 2025 our TAS Mathematics teachers continued with the implementation of the Australian Curriculum Version 9 achievement standards and content descriptors across the Prep to Year 10 mathematics units.

In addition, the new 2025 updated syllabuses for the Year 11 and 12 courses – Essential Mathematics, General Mathematics, Mathematical Methods, and Specialist Mathematics – were also introduced in Year 11 and will be further implemented next year when these students are in Year 12.

Hence, 2025 has provided us with the opportunity to update the Mathematics course unit plans and work registers, to integrate new resources and explore new technologies, and to further develop assessment instruments to meet the new curriculum elements and expectations.

Beyond the curriculum dimension of the courses, we have also commenced an exciting focus on exploring best practices in the teaching and learning of Mathematics, which has occurred concurrently with the development of our TAS Pedagogical Framework which will be implemented in 2026.

In recent years a broad range of research-based insights into best practice have become synthesised and available, and our teachers have explored these through a number of conferences and workshops, including the Sharing Best Practice conference hosted here at TAS in January; the Science of Learning conference in June; and the ISQ What Good Mathematics Teaching Looks Like conference in September.

We have also been involved in the 2025 ISQ Mathematics Program throughout the year, with a particular focus on supporting students in Prep to Year 3 with understanding and consolidating properties of numbers and number facts and developing recall and retrieval strength and fluency of these facts.

A firm foundation of number fluency is the basis for the further development of algebraic skills, for understanding and using functions, and for applying Mathematics in real-world problem solving.

At TAS we prioritise both the acquisition and integration of mathematical knowledge and skills, and the extension, refinement and application of this knowledge.

Therefore, as an important component of their maths journey at TAS, high achieving students are also offered the opportunity each year to participate in quality interschool competitions including the Maths Team Challenge, Maths Quiz, ICAS and the Australian Maths Competition.

Our students achieved some outstanding results in these competitions and some of these highlights are included in the Extension and Enrichment article. Furthermore, in Years 9 and 10, students with an interest in maths are able to choose the Intriguing World of Maths elective subject. The range of topics studied included the maths behind popular casino games, lotteries, information coding systems and cryptography.

This subject provides students with the opportunity to explore more advanced maths topics that are studied by students in Specialist Mathematics in Years 11 and 12.

In 2025 our TAS Mathematics department has embraced both the challenges and the opportunities presented by curriculum reform and professional learning to ensure that Mathematics education at TAS is both rigorous and inspiring.

We are well-positioned to continue building on these foundations in 2026, with a clear focus on equipping every student with the skills, confidence, and curiosity to thrive in Mathematics.

Year 8 worked on listening analysis assignments, learnt to play the guitar, and some students chose to do extension performance opportunities.

SCIENCE

Miss Tegan Deer | Deputy Head of Secondary

The year has been nothing short of extraordinary for the Science Department, with students engaging in a wide range of exciting and educational activities. From field trips to hands-on experiments, our students have embraced the spirit of scientific discovery in so many different ways.

Biology students extended their learning beyond the classroom with immersive experiences at Hastings Point and Hidden Vale. At Hastings Point, they explored marine and coastal ecosystems, examining the relationships between species and their environments. Hidden Vale offered another chance to study biodiversity, land management, and conservation practices in a bushland setting.

To complement these field experiences, students also carried out biotechnology experiments at a cutting-edge UQ facility. These handson genetics investigations provided valuable insights into DNA, gene technology, and their potential applications in medicine, agriculture, and conservation.

Our Year 9 and 10 students represented the school with energy and determination at the USQ Science and Engineering Challenge. The event gave them the chance to collaborate, problem-solve, and put their scientific knowledge to the test against other schools. It was a day that showcased both their creativity and their teamwork.

Physics students in Year 11 also had the chance to see science in action during their visit to Movie World. Exploring the Physics behind roller coasters and thrill rides, they applied their classroom knowledge of motion, forces, and energy in a fun and memorable way. The trip not only reinforced their understanding of Physics but also highlighted how science underpins the world of entertainment.

This year has truly been a remarkable one for the Science Department. The experiences students have enjoyed have deepened their understanding of Science while nurturing their curiosity and passion for exploration.

We look forward to building on these opportunities with even more exciting adventures in the years to come.

SERVICE LEARNING

Miss Lisa Singleton, Hugo Bailey Madsen & Clara Andersen (Year 11 Service Leaders)

This year, TAS once again demonstrated its strong commitment to service, generosity, and community spirit. Students engaged in a wide variety of initiatives that supported both local and global causes, reflecting the values at the heart of our community.

ST LUKE’S PARISH PANTRY AND RSPCA DONATIONS

Every fortnight at Chapel Services, we have been collecting dry food donations that we give to St Luke’s Parish Pantry. Our donations go directly to local Toowoomba people who are in need. We also held special Chapel donation services where we donated pet food and egg cartons to the RSPCA.

FLOOD RELIEF

In Term Two, our Primary and Secondary leaders worked together to raise money to support our flood affected community in the aftermath of Cyclone Alfred. We raised $1,644 through a free dress day. The TAS community and staff donated Early Childhood resources and books to Thargomindah State School which lost many of its resources in the floods. Special shout out to Flynn Glasson (Year 11) and the Glasson family who not only spent their Easter school holidays cleaning up flood damage but also organised ‘Fridge for a Friend’ which donated essential appliances for flood-affected homes. Their efforts raised over $70,000 and truckloads of whitegoods were delivered to impacted households.

WINTER WOOLLIES

Our whole school community participated in the Winter Woollies free dress day raising $934.77. Donations were shared between the Cancer Council and Base Services Toowoomba. TAS also participated in the Hike for Homeless event in October.

THE GIFT OF HOPE APPEAL

Once again, TAS partnered with Hope for our Children for their Gift of Hope Appeal. The TAS community donated gifts which were distributed by Hope for our Children to children identified as needing support in our community who were at risk of going without during the holiday season.

SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS DAY

One of the most fun events of the year is our Spirit of Christmas Day. The festive cheer was enjoyed by all and there were some very creative outfits. Students donated gifts of food or toys to the St Luke’s Parish Pantry and Salvation Army Toy Appeal. Seeing the donations pour in particularly when so many people are struggling shows the generous and caring nature of our TAS community.

PRIMARY SCHOOL

Our Year 4 to Year 6 students participated in Service Options. Year 3 created beautiful artworks that were hung at the Toowoomba Hospice and Year 4 ran a successful donation drive for the RSPCA. Year 5 got into the festive spirit embroidering face washers for Protea Place and made a buddy bench. The Year 6 students made blankets for the Wildlife Rescue Education and Rehabilitation at Murphys Creek and made bird nesting boxes. Our upper Primary students were regular helpers in the lower Primary classrooms and in the Library. Students have been growing and tending vegetables in our school vegetable gardens and participating in our recycling program.

Once again our most popular activity is our visits to St Vincents Care Service in Middle Ridge. The bond that develops between students and residents is heartwarming with everyone looking forward to their time together. It was fantastic to see residents visit for Grandparents and Special Guests Day.

During Term Two, our TAS community donated good quality, secondhand toys and books for our TAS Toy and Book Swap. Our Year 6 leaders sold them to students giving the toys a new home. The Toy and Book Swap raised $337 and this money was generously donated to the Toowoomba Hospital Foundation. Books were donated to Thargomindah State School.

PRIMARY DISCO

Our Primary Discos had students grooving and dancing up a storm. Pyjama Party was a popular theme with Kindy to Year 4 students while Year 5 and 6 came dressed as movie or TV characters. We raised $661.10 which was given to the Toowoomba Hospice to pay for beautiful flowers for the residents each day.

SECONDARY SCHOOL

For the Cancer Foundation, we held three memorable events: the Palentines cupcake sale, the Winter Woolies free dress day, and, most notably, the World’s Greatest Shave. The Shave became a major focus in Terms 1 and 2, as our School worked together to raise an incredible $17,506. To celebrate this milestone, our Head of Secondary, Mr Klan, bravely shaved both his beard and his hair at Athletics Day, joined by other courageous students. Their efforts made it a truly inspiring and unforgettable community event.

Another highlight of the year was welcoming the Ubuntu Choir. Their visit not only filled our School with vibrant music but also inspired many to support their community in Africa by purchasing items from their stall.

To keep students engaged in service throughout the year, the Student News regularly promoted opportunities both within the School and the wider community, ensuring everyone had the chance to get involved. Building on this momentum, the Social Justice Committee was established following an excursion earlier in the year. Led by two Year 11 students, the committee meets weekly to discuss important issues and explore practical ways to make a difference. This has been a promising first step in helping TAS become more actively engaged with our local and global community.

VISUAL

ART & ART SHOW

Mrs Nadine Reynolds

“The power of the arts has always been with us, but deeper understanding of its impact on the brain is relatively new. Research now makes clear that experiencing, or creating art sparks a dynamic interplay among brain cells that spearheads billions of changes affecting our thoughts, emotions, and actions. This knowledge elevates the arts to a superpower in their potential for healing and empowerment. Indeed, if we were to design a tool from scratch to improve learning, health, and overall wellbeing, it would look like the arts.” Sarah Magnessen

THE VISUAL ARTS

Visual Arts is a great subject to prepare students for independent future academic research. In the senior years, students have lots of agency over their choice of inquiry, technique and mentor artists to research, which this year they included:

ART FORMS

Photography, long exposure photography, abstract painting, painting on silk, using the body as canvas, oil pastel transfers, installation, drawing in pen, layered contemporary painting, acrylic on canvas, gelli-plate printing, mixed media, ceramics, collected rubbish ephemera on canvas.

RESEARCH INQUIRY

Personal objects, pet rocks and jade necklaces; fashions of the time and imagination of Jane Austen – very appropriate in the 250th anniversary year of her birth; flower symbolism in literature; the concept of movement; Chinese and Ancient Greek mythologies; environmental futures and Torres Strait Island Culture.

Joscelyn Thomas represented TAS at Uni SQ’s Future Visions exhibition with her delightful paper doll installation based on the fashions of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice. Congratulations also to, Abbey McKeon, Lilli-Anne Moore, Ella Morgan (Year 12s) and Emily Zlotkowski whose artworks were displayed at Toowoomba Regional Art Gallery in the Creative Generation Exhibition.

The Opening of the Exhibition of Senior Art “Allusion/Illusion” was a lovely evening where students experienced the joy of showing their works in a curated environment. Our new permanent exhibition space in the foyer is a beautiful environment and the students’ works look amazing. Many thanks to Dr Gwen Walker for the outstanding work she does in this space.

EXTENSION & ENRICHMENT

Mr Daryl Pereira | Extension & Enrichment Co-Ordinator

In 2025, TAS continued its commitment to developing our high potential students in the classroom, and through the Extension and Enrichment program for students in the Secondary School.

As part of the program, students were offered the opportunity to participate in a range of individual and team-based challenges and activities which enrich their classroom learning in the subject areas of English, Humanities, Mathematics and Science.

This year, our students built on previous success in 2024 with some notable achievements:

• Competing against the top schools from across the Toowoomba and Darling Downs region, our Year 7/8 teams placed second and third while our Year 9/10 teams placed first and second in their respective divisions in the Maths Team Challenge.

• In the Reader’s Cup, our Year 9/10 team won the Regional Challenge and competed in the State Finals in Brisbane.

• In the Science and Engineering Challenge held at UniSQ our team placed first on the day, edging out other teams from the top local schools.

• O ur Language/Literature and Science/Engineering teams both won their respective divisions at the Optiminds challenge and had the opportunity to compete at the State Finals in Brisbane.

Students in the Extension and Enrichment program were offered the opportunity to compete in numerous events and challenges over the course of the year including the DD Science and Engineering Challenge, Optiminds Challenge, Australian Maths Competition, QAMT Maths Quiz, Ethics Olympiad, APSMO Maths Olympiad and Debating.

I am so proud of the way in which our students competed in each of these showing empathy, diligence, teamwork, and a desire to excel.

We have continued to build on our reputation as a top performing academic school which can compete and win at the highest level in a range of competitions.

CAREER PATHWAYS

Mr Paul Barber | Head of Pathways

Students in the 21st Century will make multiple career decisions and undertake several career transitions throughout their career journey. Assisting students to choose their most appropriate pathway is an essential element of our TAS career development Pathways program.

Students from Years 7 to 12 are provided access to career development resources and opportunities that aim to build their career skills and interests over time.

This year, to support Year 10 students in their career decision-making, determining which university program, apprenticeship, or employment they wish to undertake, students undertook comprehensive career profiling in Term One. This allows students to begin their senior years on a compatible educational and career pathway based on informed decisions and choices.

Following the career profiling session, which was held at UniSQ, students embarked on tours of a variety of university faculties to further expand their awareness of post-schooling pathway options. Members of the TAS community continue to be valued Pathway Partners, sharing their insights into life beyond school.

YEARS 9 AND 10 students participated in our Career Insights program, where parents and supportive community members from a variety of professions discussed ‘A Day in the Life’ of their professions. Year 10 students also participated in Mock Interviews designed to develop their skills in securing paid employment.

Groups of three to five YEAR 11 students participated in the ‘Coffee and Conversations’, which were casual conversations with professionals from industries each student was interested in investigating.

Many TAS students have taken advantage of pathway opportunities open to them ‘beyond the school gate’.

Congratulations to the Year 10, Year 11 and Year 12 students who have successfully completed or commenced a School-based Apprenticeship or Traineeship this year, managing the demands of school, work and training commitments.

YEARS 10-12 students have also undertaken a wide range of university subjects, such as Human Anatomy and Physiology, Introduction to the Pathology Profession and Data Analytics Fundamentals; TAFE at School Certificates, such as Engineering Pathways, Animal Care, Automotive Technology, Plumbing, Electrotechnology, and external vocational education such as a Diploma of Business, Certificate II in Health Support Services or Certificate III in Fitness.

Senior subject choices have also been broadened with students successfully completing Distance Education subjects, such as Chinese, German, and Health.

We also congratulate the successful Year 12 students who have received Early Offers to Queensland and Interstate universities and to all our students who have proactively worked towards and achieved within their chosen pathways! Well done!

Year in Review BOARDING CAPTAINS

L-R: Sophie Lai, Zoe Anderson, Flynn Glasson (Behind), Emily Young, Thomas Vagg (Behind), Ella Lavery, Jade Nicholson (Behind), Banjo Nitschke, Millie Roberts & Jackie Parker (Absent)

ZOE ANDERSON Being a Boarding Captain in 2024 and 2025 was a rewarding experience that gave me the chance to grow as a leader and as a person. I enjoyed welcoming new students, helping with tours, and being part of events like the end-of-term dinners. One of the best parts was supporting younger boarders and building stronger connections across the house. The role taught me a lot about responsibility, communication, and the importance of creating a positive environment. Looking back, I’m grateful for the opportunities it gave me and proud to have represented boarding throughout the year.

ELLA LAVERY As a Boarding Captain this year, I’ve been proud to represent and support our boarding community. I’ve taken an active role in promoting boarding life by helping to create a video that highlights our unique experiences and strong sense of connection. Speaking at assembly also allowed me to share the values and experiences that make our houses special. Organising a boarding tour to Moree’s “Run the Plains”helped showcase our culture to future students. For me, being a Boarding Captain is about connecting with the younger years, inspiring growth, and encouraging genuine friendships to foster a stronger, more united boarding community. After all, it is a hard journey which is made easier by connectivity, friendship, and community.

SOPHIE LAI Being a Boarding Captain this year has been an incredible privilege. I’ve loved having the platform to connect with and support my fellow boarders. Whether it’s helping to organise events, representing their voices, or simply being someone they can turn to. Boarding is more than just a place to stay; it’s a community, and I’m grateful to have played a part in strengthening that bond. The memories, the late-night chats, the laughs, and the challenges have all shaped an unforgettable experience. Thank you to everyone who made this journey so special. It’s something I’ll carry with me always.

BANJO NITSCHKE At the time of writing this, we have only held our Boarding Captain positions for about a term. Even so, I feel we’ve still each managed to fulfill the role in a way that has benefited the entire boarding community. I have tried to interact respectfully with every Stoneleigh boy, so that they feel safe and welcome during their time at our school.

FLYNN GLASSON My favourite part about being a Boarding Captain has been helping to connect the entire boarding house and ensure students from across the year levels interact with each other. I’ve really enjoyed engaging with our younger students and ensuring that I help create a safe space for all of the boarders to enjoy, while still having fun. My hope is that I can set a good example for our students to follow so that they can do the same in the coming years.

JACKIE PARKER This year as Boarding Captain has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. We had so much fun, shared countless laughs, and created memories that will stay with me forever. I loved connecting with the younger students, helping them feel at home, and

building friendships that I know will last. The relationships I formed with both students and teachers were incredibly special, and together we strengthened our sense of community. I’ve grown not only as a leader but also as a person, learning patience, responsibility, and teamwork. I am truly grateful for this amazing opportunity.

EMILY YOUNG Being a part of the boarding community this year has been a unique experience and a defining part of my final chapter at school. Living alongside others day in and day out teaches you a lot about responsibility, patience and working as a team. Boarding has its challenges, but it’s also an incredibly rewarding experience, from relaxed weekend barbeques to late night chats, there has definitely been plenty of amazing things to look back on. As a boarding captain, I have had the chance to contribute to a positive boarding environment, whether it be supporting others or just providing a hand when needed. It’s been a role that has pushed me to grow, and I am grateful for the people, memories and experiences that came with it. It has been an unforgettable year, and I’m so glad to have shared it with such a great group of people.

TOM VAGG As a boarding captain in 2025, I have sustained many of the beliefs and lessons that I learnt in my previous year of captaincy. The role evoked a great sense of growth, giving me the platform to develop my leadership, maturity, a sense of community and empathy. I especially treasure the platform to guide younger students and support peers in need of that extra hand. Boarding captaincy gave me confidence in my potential to deliver positive influence, guiding younger students through their academic journey. The trust and positive energy that was reciprocated made the role especially rewarding, understanding that I was making an impact appreciated by my peers. Even though I am no longer boarding, the lessons and special moments remain with me, influencing how I approach challenges, develop rapport, and seize opportunities with a perspective that will serve me well into the future.

JADE NICHOLSON My favorite part about being a Boarding Captain has been being able to show day students the benefits of being a boarder and that being a boarder is not just about living at school, it is about being part of a tight-knit community.

MILLIE ROBERTS I have thoroughly enjoyed holding the role of Boarding Captain in 2025. It has been an invaluable opportunity, which has allowed me to meaningfully contribute to the boarding community. Over the past six years, boarding has provided me with essential opportunities and support, facilitating my development of fundamental responsibility and social skills. I am immensely grateful for the friendships I have forged with boarders from various years. These interactions are a pertinent factor in ensuring all boarders feel welcome and included within the houses. The implementation of formal captaincy roles in boarding has allowed me to acquire foundational lessons in leadership and accountability, all of which I am highly appreciative for.

Year in Review STONELEIGH HOUSE

Mr Daniel Biscoe | Stoneleigh House Parent

2025 has been another year of learning,

growth,

and connection.

Our focus on strengthening residential practices and deepening our sense of belonging to a community has continued to define who we are, a family within the wider TAS community, grounded in stability, respect, and care.

Throughout the year, the boys have embraced a robust and engaging weekend program, with activities such as fishing, axe throwing, surfing, and attending both rugby league and union games, proving to be highlights.

These experiences have not only provided opportunities for adventure and enjoyment but also created platforms for the boys to connect socially, share passions, and support one another in new settings.

Life on campus has been equally rich and vibrant.

Activities such as cooking with Mr. Mann and Mrs. Moorefield, tennis with Mr. Bunn, soccer or Pokémon hunting with Mr. Gonzales and Sunday pool sessions with Mr. Cowper.

Through these activities, Stoneleigh boys have thrived in an environment that encourages fun, teamwork, and creativity.

Joint activities with our friends in Arnott/Founders and Bligh have also been a highlight of the year.

Themed dinners, Dreamworld adventures, and rollerblading excursions have provided opportunities to celebrate community across all houses, reminding us that while each house has its own spirit, we are all part of one TAS family.

The boys of Stoneleigh continue to set the standard for resilience, integrity, and effort in all they do.

They lead by example, showing others what it means to meet challenges with determination and optimism.

This sense of quiet leadership built on consistency, mutual respect, and genuine care for others is what makes Stoneleigh the stable heart of our boarding community.

As we look back on another successful year, it is clear that Stoneleigh continues to grow in leaps and bounds.

The natural leadership of our senior students, combined with the dedication and collaboration of the staff, ensures that Stoneleigh remains a place where boys feel supported, valued, and at home.

In an ever-changing world, Stoneleigh stands as a constant place of belonging, growth, and family.

Year in Review BLIGH HOUSE

Mrs Chelsey Holman | Bligh House Parent

What a year it has been in Bligh House!

It is hard to believe how much the students have grown since the beginning of the year.

I often think back to that very first night—when the house was filled with quiet, reserved faces—and compare it to now, when the building hums with laughter, chatter, and energy. The transformation has been remarkable, and it has been a privilege to watch these children grow in confidence, resilience, and independence.

Boarding life asks a lot of young people, especially for our youngest boarders, but the students of Bligh have met the challenge with determination and spirit. They navigate school life, friendships, and responsibilities, all without going home to their families each night. It is something to behold, and their parents should be so proud of the young people they are becoming.

As I often say: boarders are built different. The skills they are learning now—independence, organisation, empathy, and resilience—are the very tools that will carry them into successful adulthood.

This year has been packed with adventure, fun, and community. The students threw themselves into every opportunity, from day trips to Brisbane and Southbank to an unforgettable afternoon of rollerblading that felt like stepping back in time.

Visits to the zoo brought excitement and curiosity, while quieter afternoons in the common room—like making slime together—reminded us that sometimes the simplest activities make for the best memories.

One of the most enriching experiences of 2025 was welcoming the visiting students from Ritsumeikan. In Term 2 we hosted them for a few days, and in Term 3 they stayed with us for the entire term. The Bligh boarders showed incredible warmth and hospitality, making each student feel welcome and included. It was inspiring to see our students open their arms and minds to new friendships while learning about Japanese culture and life. The bonds formed were genuine and lasting, and the experience added another layer of richness to our house community.

The adventures didn’t stop there. A highlight for many was our trip to Area 51, which was full of fun, energy, and more than a few tired faces afterwards! As we come to the end of the year, we’re finishing strong with some exciting end-of-year events, including a big beach day and learning to surf—a perfect way to celebrate such an incredible year together.

Beyond the activities and adventures, what stands out most this year are the friendships and connections forged in Bligh. The children have built strong bonds that we hope will last a lifetime. They have supported each other through the highs and lows of school life, celebrated one another’s achievements, and learned the value of teamwork and kindness. It has been heartening to see the younger students look up to their older peers, and equally touching to see those older students step into roles of leadership and care.

Looking back, 2025 has been a year of growth, joy, resilience, and connection. Bligh House has once again proven itself to be more than a building—it is a family, a place of laughter, and a home away from home.

Year in Review ARNOTT HOUSE

Mrs Roxanne Piers-Blundell | Arnott House Parent

The 2025 boarding year in Arnott House has been one of connection, adventure, and growth.

With each term came new opportunities for our girls to thrive, and together we created a community that is supportive, energetic, and full of spirit.

Term 1 and Term 2 were wonderfully led by Miss Chloe Hibbert, who stepped into the role of Acting Head of House while I was on maternity leave. Miss Hibbert brought warmth, creativity, and steady leadership to Arnott, ensuring the girls had a fantastic start to the year.

Highlights during this time included a memorable trip to Australia Zoo, plenty of in-house activities, and the chance for girls to connect across year levels in ways that set a strong foundation for the year ahead.

By Term 3, I was back in Arnott House, and I was deeply grateful for the incredibly warm welcome from the boarders, their families and the community. One of the key focuses of the term was strengthening interpersonal relationships within the House. This was brought to life as we trialled blended dorm arrangements, with girls in Years 8, 9, and 10 sharing their living spaces.

The result was a beautiful mix of friendships and support across age groups, helping younger students feel settled while encouraging leadership and responsibility from our older girls. Rollerblading trips, house dinners, and relaxed weekends on campus gave everyone the chance to bond even further.

The energy carried through into Term 4, with our community celebrating both everyday moments and significant milestones. A highlight was honouring our eleven graduating Year 12s — young women who have set a strong example of resilience, kindness, and leadership.

Their final term was filled with celebrations that recognised their contributions to Arnott and the friendships they leave behind. Of course, the year was also filled with special events and student highlights.

Ella (Year 11, Moree) said, “Highlight was the in-house mocktails and sewing/painting with Mrs. PB.”

For Sophie (Year 8, Charleville), it was “going to Yoshi and shopping at Queen Street Mall!” Isla (Year 9, Injune) agreed, adding, “My boarding highlight of the year was going on a trip to Yoshi and Queen Street Mall with all my friends!”

Mary (Year 9, Toowoomba) reflected, “I really enjoyed going to Dreamworld and White Water World and playing games with Miss K.”

For some, the community itself was the highlight — as Makea (Year 8, Esk) shared, “My highlight was meeting new people – this year was a fresh start, the girls made me feel at home straight away.”

Arnott House continues to be a place where laughter fills the hallways, friendships are forged for life, and girls grow into confident, independent young women.

It has been a privilege to return in the second half of the year and lead such a vibrant community.

The girls of Arnott House should be proud of everything they have achieved in 2025 — and the memories they’ve created together will last long after the year has ended.

Year in Review DIRECTOR OF SPORTS

Mr Tom Bradbury | Director of Sport

2025 has been another busy and successful one for our TAS teams across many sporting events held throughout the year.

The arrival of Mrs Alicia Hawthorne late 2024 in the Sports Office has been a real benefit to the program. Since joining the Sports Office, she has helped me in refining processes and communications to families of the great opportunities available at TAS in the sporting arena. Her insights and capacity have been essential to our success in 2025.

We hope to continue developing processes and opportunities into 2026 with the Parent Orbit App coming online to further enhance communication capacity.

In 2025, we have grown our strength and conditioning programs across Tennis, Rugby, Netball, and Football, where several students have taken up the opportunity to enhance their physical literacy and ability to cope with the rigors of their sport.

The new Gill Precinct’s gym facility came online late in 2025, and a full strength and conditioning program is in the works for 2026 and will be available to our students of all sports.

The QCIS Association of schools celebrated 10 years of interschool competition and TAS continues to be a significant participant in all sports. TAS was successful in Swimming, Cross Country and Athletics taking out several age group wins across these events and punching well above our weight in the Aggregate and Percentage trophies.

We took three of six pennants for the Rugby 7s and in the Futsal, our U13 Boys took the win while our Open Girls and U15 Boys claimed second.

In Netball, we had improvements with a grand final appearance by the open girls and third place for the U15 girls.

2025 SPORTING HIGHLIGHTS | TEAMS

U14 SWQ Futsal Boys Champions, and attending State Finals at Nissan Arena.

The introduction of our primary gala days was a big winner with our Year 3 to 6 students and we hope to continue to develop these in 2026.

Touch was a new competition for the QCIS with a mixed championship held for the first time in Term Four.

We continued to develop ‘physical literacy’ throughout the junior school with several sports visiting the school to provide expert tutelage.

Congratulations to all teams and individuals who have represented the school, their families and themselves with distinction in 2025.

2026 will see continued development and refinement of several sports.

We have some exciting opportunities in the works courtesy of the support of Mr Johnstone.

We will be retracting from participation in some sports, whilst in others, we will try to develop better opportunities and processes to enhance student and team performance and opportunities.

I must thank the many staff and volunteers who assist in keeping our teams on the courts and ovals around Toowoomba from week to week.

Without these many and varied volunteers, we would not be able to have such a large presence in the Toowoomba sporting landscape.

Netball, Touch, Tennis and Football are our three major sports along with Rugby, Basketball and Volleyball, that rely heavily on parent volunteers, and we cannot thank these people enough for assisting us in offering participation opportunities for our students to play with their mates in fixture competitions.

ATHLETICS

Mr Tom Bradbury | Director of Sport

This year included a mix of results on the athletics track as we continue to try and enhance the program for all students and encourage them to explore their potential.

Training was offered in the mornings and afternoons, on and offsite, and during Thrive for the Senior School.

Our Primary students embraced the opportunities best and this was borne out by the results they achieved at District and Regional events.

Our TAS Championships were run and won at the end of Term 2 with a marvelous few days of competition.

Events were conducted across 10 age groups in the two days of competition with a total of 194 events completed.

Our Age Champions for 2025 were as follows...

8YRS Zoe Phillips, Harry McNeice

9YRS Lara Phillips, Jack Ong

10YRS Molly Dewar, Quinton Lowry

11YRS Emily Young, Charlie Haase

12YRS Charlotte Jones, Mitchell Wysel

A total of thirty records were broken across the two days.

Our most prolific record breakers were Charlie Krieg with four records in the 15 years 200m, High Jump, Long Jump and the Triple Jump, whilst Stephanie Jeude broke three in the 13 years (400m, 800m and 1500m).

Steph’s 800m Record was one of our longest standing records, set back in 1987.

Our Interhouse Champions were once again Connal House whilst Gill and Fairfax battled it out for second and third.

QCIS ATHLETICS

TAS claimed an overall third-placed finish on both aggregate and percentage off the back of some wonderful performances from our students, including first-place finishes in the 12 Girls, 15 Boys, 11 Boys and 16 Boys, as well as second-place finishes in the 10 Boys, 11 Girls and 13 Boys.

This year’s QCIS competition proved memorable for many as the following TAS students broke records during the carnival:

ANDREWS CUP

TAS claimed a second-place finish in the percentage cup at this year’s Andrews Cup Athletics competition at QSAC thanks to a spirited effort on behalf of our small but tenacious team.

The event was highlighted by a number of great individual and team performances including a second-place finish from our ‘Super 8s’ team in the 8 years age group, a fifth-place finish in the Sue Pavish Relay and a third-place finish in the 8 year-old’s 80m relay.

These results demonstrate the capabilities of our individuals but we need to work on our depth of participation to be able to truly mix it with our big-city competitors.

DARLING DOWNS 13-19YRS ATHLETICS

BASKETBALL

Mr

Tom Bradbury | Director of Sport

TERM ONE FRIDAY NIGHT COMPETITION

This year included a few changes to Secondary Basketball with the Year 7/8 competition moved to Term 4 with the Primary School competition, whilst our Year 9/10 and Year 11/12 teams fought out the Term One Friday Night Competition.

Our YEAR 9/10 BOYS team enjoyed competing against fourteen other schools in Term 1. Early morning training helped deliver improved performances during the competition. Unfortunately, the boys were beaten in the Division Three final by Highlands placing them in 10th position across all divisions. Franklin Walsh and Matteus Holm were the most outstanding of the team, proving strong leaders and young athletes.

The YEAR 11/12 BOYS fought hard all term but just didn’t quite have enough tall timber and experience to mix it with the big schools of the region, which have the numbers to draw upon for this competition.

George Lawrence was the team MVP whilst Finian Splettstoesser’s contributions were outstanding also utilising his height to great effect on many occasions.

We thank Mr Jerome Vagg - Year 11/12 Boys coach, Mr John Gouldson –Year 9/10 Boys coach for their leadership and experience shared with our teams.

CLUB COMPETITION

During Term Two and Three several lads availed themselves of the opportunity to play in the club competition under the banner of the Saints Basketball club.

The teams had mixed success but learnt more and more under the guidance of Mr Gouldson who gives so generously of his time and experience to our teams.

PRIMARY SCHOOL & YEAR 7-8 TERM 4 COMPETITIONS

Our YEAR 7/8 BOYS were extremely keen after waiting all year to compete and we were able to nominate two teams into the competition.

We thank Mr John Gouldson for continually offering his coaching services to our school and also Mr Michael Kemp for stepping in to coach our second team.

The boys benefitted from Mr Gouldson’s ‘tough love’ on many occasions and this made them two very strong units having training in Term Three prior to the competition.

The PRIMARY TEAMS consisted of our Year 6 Boys team, Our Year 5/6 Mixed Team and our Year 4/5 Boys Team.

These teams were quite competitive across the tournament and were supported by Mr Graham and senior basketballers Matteus Holm and Ezekiel Lean, as well as Mr Tom Bradbury.

We thank Mr Gouldson, Mr Vagg, Mr Kemp, Mrs Graham, Matteus Holm and Zeke Lean for their generous support of our teams across the various terms of competition this year. Without their support our teams would be unable to take the courts.

CROSS COUNTRY

Mr Tom Bradbury | Director of Sport

At the start of Term One, our dedicated runners began Cross Country preparations with training offered via Mr Bradbury and Mr Bowtell, who graciously offered to assist once more with long run supervision of our older students.

ANDREWS CUP

Our small but mighty team put in an outstanding effort finishing ninth overall in the Aggregate and an impressive second in the Percentage Trophy!

A special shoutout to our U8s (seventh) and U9s (fourth) for their fantastic age group performances.

The highlight of the day was undoubtedly the Noel McBride Relay.

Our dynamic trio Rose Farquhar, Indiana Winslade and Violet Richardson ran a breathtaking race to take out 1st place against all other schools. Rose gave us an early lead with a blistering first leg, Indiana held strong under pressure in the second, Violet closed it out with a determined and powerful finish, overtaking the front runners and storming home to win by 40 metres!

After a bittersweet second to Fairholme last year this was a great result for our top three runners.

NETBALL

Mrs Alicia Middleton | Netball Co-Ordinator

The 2025 season was another outstanding year for TAS Netball, with eight teams representing our school: the Parakeets, Corellas, Rosellas, Ospreys, Kestrels, Hawks, Falcons, and Eagles.

Each team contributed to a season full of growth, sportsmanship, and exciting competition, and we are proud of the way our players represented the school both on and off the court.

Our youngest team, the Parakeets, had an especially memorable season. Many of the players were new to the game, yet they embraced every training session and match with enthusiasm and determination. Throughout the year, the Parakeets developed excellent skills and an admirable sense of sportsmanship, laying strong foundations for their future years of netball. Their commitment and team spirit are a wonderful reflection of the TAS ethos.

The season was also a success thanks to the dedication of our coaches.

A heartfelt thank you goes to Mrs Belinda Phillips, Miss Eve Dale, Mrs Silver White, Mr Steve Thomas, Miss Audrey Wigan, Mr Dave Wigan, and Ms Karen Hopley. Each coach devoted countless hours to developing the skills of their teams, encouraging positive play, and guiding players to achieve their personal best. Their commitment ensured that every student grew not only as a netballer but also as a team player, learning valuable lessons in resilience, sportsmanship, and respect.

We extend our congratulations to the four TAS teams that advanced to the Grand Finals: the Kestrels, Falcons, Rosellas, and Eagles. This is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the hard work and dedication of both players and coaches. The Grand Finals were fiercely contested, and we are proud of the way each team represented our school with determination and pride.

A special mention must go to Lucy Tickell from the TAS Eagles and Tori Price from the TAS Falcons, who were awarded Player of the Match in the Grand Final, an incredible accomplishment and well-deserved recognition of their skill and determination on the court.

Behind the scenes, the season could not have run smoothly without our umpires, whose commitment each week ensures fairness and highquality games. We sincerely thank Nikki Nason, Josie Buck, Disha Gowda, Elle Middleton, Emily Harrison, Molly Harrison, and our two newest umpires, Ryan Harrison and Abigail Williams. Their contribution is vital to the success of our program, and their calm professionalism is an example to all our players.

A special congratulations goes to Elle Middleton, who received her C Badge this season, marking an important milestone in her umpiring journey.

The 2025 netball season showcased not just the skills of our players but also the strength of our community. From the youngest Parakeets to the most experienced Eagles, every team member played their part in making the year a success.

We are grateful to our families for their support on the sidelines, our coaches for their time and dedication, and our umpires for ensuring the spirit of the game was upheld each week.

Well done to all our teams on an excellent season and we look forward to building on these achievements in 2026.

RUGBY

Mr Tom Bradbury | Director of Sport

What a fantastic season of Rugby it has been at TAS!

This year will be remembered as one of the most successful and exciting years in recent memory, marked by outstanding performances, tremendous growth, and an ever-strengthening rugby culture across the school.

Our First XV delivered a phenomenal season, going undefeated and capping it off with a thrilling grand final victory over Scots PGC at Toowoomba Sports Stadium to claim a third-successive Opens title. Coached by Mr Dan Biscoe, their teamwork, determination, and pride in the jersey were on full display each week, inspiring players across all age groups.

The Under 15s also enjoyed an impressive season under the guidance of Mr Hugh Clarke, showing grit and skill to reach the grand final against St. Mary’s, where they went down in a hard-fought and closely contested match. Their performances throughout the season highlight the depth of talent and the bright future ahead for TAS Rugby.

For our Under 13s led by Dr Brett Rangirra, it was a big year of learning and development, with many students pulling on the jersey for the first time. Their enthusiasm and commitment laid a strong foundation for the years to come.

Beyond the school competition, TAS Rugby players made their mark at higher levels with plenty of representative honours. George Wicks was recognised as the Junior Referee of the Year by Downs Rugby — an outstanding achievement and testament to his dedication to the game. Numerous students represented Downs Rugby in both Townsville and Brisbane, including Tenayah Parker, Griffin Little, Charles Wicks, Piper Wicks, Shyanna-Cee Crittle, and Bryson Eugarde.

Such strong representation from a smaller school is a true credit to the players’ hard work and commitment.

With success on the scoreboard, growth across all teams, and inspiring role models both on and off the field, 2025 was truly a year to remember for TAS Rugby.

RUGBY 7S

Miss Georgia Gleeson | Rugby 7s Coach

It has been another thrilling Rugby 7s season at TAS. Students competed in a range of high-profile tournaments, including the Emerald Western 7s Tour, Scots 7s, and QCIS 7s. From the first kick off to the final whistle, our rugby players have showcased their talent, teamwork and tenacity in one of the fastest formats of the game.

The Emerald Western 7s Tour offered TAS players a chance to test their skills against strong regional competition, including teams from Roma, Rockhampton, Mt Isa and Mackay. With matches demanding speed, precision and endurance (especially in the western heat) our teams stepped up, delivering standout performances and building momentum for the season ahead. The tour also fostered camaraderie and school spirit, with players supporting each other across divisions and age groups.

We continued our strong form at the Scots 7s and QCIS 7s tournaments, where the level of play was intense and the stakes high. Across both events, TAS teams demonstrated tactical awareness and athleticism, with girls and boys alike contributing to thrilling matches and memorable moments. The Scots 7s, known for its elite competition, pushed TAS squads to elevate their game, with our U16 Boys and U14 Girls teams taking out 2nd place for the whole day, while QCIS 7s provided a platform for inter-school pride and sportsmanship.

A highlight of the season came when TAS’s U17 girls team played between international fixtures, taking the field in front of large crowds and playing as openers to the Australian, New Zealand and United States’ women’s teams. Their performance was a testament to the school’s commitment to developing confident, capable athletes. The girls embraced the moment with poise and passion, inspiring younger players and earning admiration from spectators and coaches alike.

Beyond the players, TAS’s commitment to rugby development was evident in our growing referee program, with five registered officials now contributing to matches across the region. Their professionalism and dedication have been a standout feature this season. Notably, George Wicks was awarded Best Junior Referee on the Darling Downs — a fantastic achievement that reflects both his talent and the success of our development efforts. His recognition sets a great example for other young referees. We’re committed to continuing this momentum through training, mentorship, and support, ensuring our referees remain a vital part of our sporting community.

This season wasn’t just about wins — it was about growth, resilience, and unity. With players, coaches, and referees all contributing to a vibrant rugby culture,

TAS’s Rugby 7s program is poised for even greater success in seasons to come.

Both 10-12yrs and 13-19yrs Regional Championships were once again held at the Gatton Pool.

Harry Jackman and Makeea Schimke represented TAS at the 13-19yrs event. Makeea was subsequently selected to the Darling Downs Team after securing 2nd in the 50m, 100m and 200m Breaststroke events. In the 9-12yrs championships Maggie Wade gained 10th (50m Butterfly), Charlotte Jones gained 18th (50m Backstroke) in their best results for the day, whilst our best performers were Lara Philips 2nd (50 Freestyle) and Pippa Williams 7th (50 Breaststroke). Next year bodes well for these younger performers.

QUEENSLAND SCHOOL SPORT STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS

At these Queensland School Sport Championships Makeea finished 10th in the 50m Breaststroke Final and 12th in the 100m Breaststroke. Meeka went on to medal at the National Championships in Darwin

TOUCH FOOTBALL

Mr Dave Wigan | Touch Football Coach

In 2025, TAS entered teams in the Term One and Term Four Club Competitions, the Term 3 Swans Cup, Primary and Secondary Swans All Schools Touch and Queensland All Schools Touch.

TOOWOOMBA WEDNESDAY AND FRIDAY TTA COMPETITION

During Term One, TAS entered 15 teams into the Toowoomba Touch Association Competition. We were ably supported by many parents, staff and students, taking on coaching and assisting roles. It was a very successful season with some superb touch being played. Congratulations go to our 10 Girls who won the A division final under the superb coaching of Mrs. Harrison.

We now look forward to the Term Four Competition where our students will be able to continue their development.

ANDREWS CUP

Unfortunately for our girls, the 2025 competition was rained out. We look forward to this competition in 2026.

TERM THREE SWANS CUP

This year, we entered teams in the Under-15 Girls, Under-12 Boys and Under-12 Girls into the Swans Cup. All teams performed admirably with our 15 Girls winning the B Division final.

SOUTH WEST SWANS SECONDARY ALL

SCHOOLS

The Under-15 girls finished second in their pool after three wins, a draw and a loss. This meant they narrowly missed making the finals. The girls learnt a lot from this experience in preparation for the Gold Coast Titans All School Touch (GCTAS)

QUEENSLAND ALL

SCHOOLS

This year, we have once again achieved great success at the highest level across many teams, but Mrs Harrison’s primary girls team achieved the greatest accolade placing third at the Queensland All Schools Touch Tournament.

REPRESENTATIVES

Congratulations to Violet Richardson (12) and Hayley Klein (15) who were selected in the Darling Downs Touch Teams for 2025.

Also, Alex Winslade, who was selected as a referee and attended the 10-12 years Queensland Schools Sport Touch Carnival.

Our Coaches and managers, Tony Klein, Jerome Winslade, Teagan Harch, Dani Williams, Emma Harrison, Eve McIntyre, Chloe Hatton, Mitch Bernoth, Georgie Hart, Peter Hart, Hayley Klein, Zoe Klein, Mary Haase, Piper Wicks, Phoebe Wicks, Isla MacDonnell.

VOLLEYBALL

Mr Dave Wigan | Volleyball

Coach

Term 2 saw six teams from the senior school participate in Tuesday night Volleyball fixtures. TAS entered Teams in the Open Boys and Girls, Intermediate Boys and Girls and the Junior Boys and Girls divisions.

Our Open Boys are an athletic bunch, but struggled with the new skills required to compete on the Volleyball court, which was understandable from a group of lads more comfortable with a Rugby ball in their hands. The group were always competitive but took until late in Term 3 before they finally recorded their first win of the season against Toowoomba Grammar. They went on to play in the third vs fourth playoff against their TGS nemesis and went down narrowly in two sets.

During Term 2, Flynn Glasson showed great leadership whilst the Term Three competition saw Franklin Walsh step up to the senior team and lead by significant example and experience.

The Open Girls only played the first term and had a vast array of experience. Clara Andersen proved an excellent leader and provided valuable assistance to our parent helpers and coaches across many teams. The Open Girls had mixed success but, unfortunately did not feature in the medal rounds. Clara Andersen was named the MVP.

The Intermediate boys were quite the force to be reckoned with and proceeded through to the finals in Term Two, where they were defeated by Wilsonton SHS, finishing with runner-up medallions at the time. They turned around and again made the playoffs to be defeated at the last once again by Highlands in Term Three. Eli Eacersall, Jonathon Ooi and Lachlan Bateman were significant contributors to the team across both Terms.

Our TAS Intermediate Girls had a really mixed bag of results proving they were learning and growing across the two terms. Dr Simon Tebbutt graciously took charge of the girls and gave them a positive experience. These girls were very keen participants and worked hard as a team to improve themselves both individually and as a team.

Our Junior Boys had a great first term of Volleyball and showed improvement across the second season despite having to play in the Intermediate competition of Year 9-10 boys. For many, it was their first time playing the sport, with lots to learn regarding rules, positioning, rotations and technique.

Mr Hamilton and Mrs Haegal had the following to say about our Junior boys.

“All the boys contributed and gave 100% efforts across both teams and have shown marked improvement over the last couple of months.

“As a team, we’ve been trying to develop good and clear communication on the court with loud and confident calls and movements for the ball.

“With the assistance of Clara and also many pushups, sit-ups and squats to incentivise loud calls, everyone has made solid progress.

“We have had a supportive and encouraging team spirit which has been great to see, especially given we haven’t had any wins this season.

“It’s a good foundation for improvement going forward.”

The Junior Girls were a very energetic group and under the guidance of Miss Alysha Spence were growing exponentially. Their enthusiasm was quite infectious and all teams who played them couldn’t help but have a great time. Alexandra Lawrie was a great team leader rallying the troops together each week and guiding them when Alysha could not continue.

Thank you to Dr Tebbutt, Mr Hamilton, Mrs Haegal and Miss Spence for their assistance in guiding our teams this year. Without their commitment and positive support of all teams there certainly would not have been as many fun times experienced as we had.

TAS United

A YEAR OF GROWTH, LEADERSHIP, AND FIRSTS

Samantha Ahmed | President, TAS United FC

2025 has been a landmark year for TAS United—most notably with the introduction of our first-ever all-girls league. With U7, U9, U11, and U13 girls' teams now taking the field, it’s been fantastic to witness the enthusiasm, camaraderie, and sheer enjoyment these players bring to the game.

The club has embraced this exciting new chapter wholeheartedly, and events like our Female Football Club Day have truly celebrated inclusion and progress within our sporting community.

Our coaching program continues to thrive, thanks to the outstanding leadership of Geoff Raasch and David Johnston. Both have gone above and beyond this year—guiding our coaching staff, promoting education, and running initiation training for new volunteers. Their work has laid a strong foundation for continued growth. The TAS United Academy—led by Alvaro, Geoff, and Dave—has become more streamlined and effective.

Beyond the visible enjoyment on the pitch, we’ve seen noticeable improvements in individual and team skills. This is a direct reflection of the consistency and quality of coaching throughout the program.

Our U14/15 and U16/17 Junior League teams had strong performances this year, with the U15s making it through to the semi-finals and the U16/17s going all the way to the grand final. These were fantastic achievements, supported by some cute mascots from our younger teams who came out to cheer them on.

What truly sets all our teams apart is the integrity they play with, and the respect they show for their teammates, their opposition, and the game itself—always keeping in mind that the end goal is to grow as individuals within a team environment.

The club, and I’m sure all parents, are incredibly proud of the way our players represent TAS United both on and off the pitch. Volunteering has also been strong this year. It’s been incredibly inspiring to see our older students stepping up in various roles. Jacob, Lachie, and Sol have contributed their time as volunteer coaches, while Dan and Safiya have taken the lead behind the coffee machine in the canteen. These are just a few examples of how our club continues to grow from within.

Speaking of growth—TAS United now proudly stands at 255 registered players. This number reflects not only the growing interest in football, but also the strength, spirit, and sense of community that defines our club.

When I first took on the role of TAS United President four years ago, one of our biggest challenges was finding volunteers. Today, that story has changed entirely. We now have a thriving volunteer base, with families actively supporting our rostering system and consistently showing up for club events. Seeing these familiar, reliable faces week after week is what makes TAS United truly special.

Of course, none of this would be possible without the ongoing dedication of the TAS United Committee and the many coaches and volunteers who work tirelessly behind the scenes. It’s their commitment that enables us to offer such a valuable team sport experience—one that helps our children grow both on and off the pitch.

Here’s to another strong, spirited, and successful year at TAS United.

TENNIS

David Bunn | TAS Head of Tennis

In 2025, a new standard for Tennis was set at Toowoomba Anglican School. Building on the success of Toowoomba Anglican School being awarded “Most Outstanding School” at the 2024 Queensland Tennis Awards and Head of Tennis Mr David Bunn named as Finalist for the “Coaching Excellence” award and a finalist in the same category at the 2025 awards, we have taken our TAS Tennis Program to the next level by cementing our position as the top tennis school in the Darling Downs region and one of Queensland’s best.

TAS Tennis Academy coaching sessions grew to cater for 160 TAS students in lessons per term, with most involved in a matchplay session on top of coaching. Approximately 100 of these students play 2-5 times per week. A special highlight is our Red Ball Program (5-7yrs) which has had a waiting list for sessions most of the year.

Our coach mentor program has excelled in 2025 with eight current or former TAS students, who are all Tennis Australia qualified, guiding our current players. Special mention to former students Regan and Elise Cumner who both completed their Tennis Australia Junior Development Qualification this year.

Our tournament squad program hit new heights in 2025 with 50 students involved. These students commit to a structured development program which involves weekly on- court tennis sessions combined with a targeted strength and conditioning program run by FitLab. Plus, they are supported up to four times per term by TAS Tennis Academy coaches who travel to tennis events across both our region and metro areas.

A highlight of our 2025 tennis calendar was the school trip to Goondiwindi, where we had over half of the tournament made up of TAS students. This trip combines tournament tennis with a team building session at the Goondiwindi Golf Club and a TAS family catchup event at the Queensland Hotel, Goondiwindi.

Some of our more keen students even managed to get in a spot of fishing on the Macintyre River!

While there were many highlights throughout the year, the following achievements were outstanding in 2025:

TAS Year 7-9 Boys Team became Darling Downs regional champions for the first time in TAS history. At the end of Term 3, they then traveled and competed at the State Finals in Rockhampton where TAS achieved a very creditable 7th position in the state.

TAS Open Boys, Open Girls & Year 7-9 Girls were all runners-up at the Darling Downs Championships

In early January 2025, TAS Primary Schools Teams, which had won the 2024 Darling Downs Championships, competed against the best schools in Queensland, where they achieved phenomenal results. Red Mixed - 4th in the State, Orange Mixed - 5th in the State, Green Mixed - 5th in the State

At the 2025 Darling Downs Primary Schools Championships, completed in early October, TAS had a record number of teams win the event and will now go onto the State Finals in early 2026. Red Mixed, Red Girls, Orange Mixed, Green GirlsWinners with our Green Mixed coming runners-up.

TAS Players George Maroske, Harry Von Blanckensee and Vismaya Gowda (1012ys), Peter Freeman (Open) were selected and then represented the Darling Downs Region at the State Finals.

The TAS Primary and Secondary Tennis Championships were very well supported with increased participation numbers and lots of great matches. Singles Winners:

• P rimary Girls Champion - TBC

• P rimary Boys Champion - TBC

• Intermediate Boys Champion - Charlie Farrell

• Intermediate Boys Champion - Hannah Wall

• Open Boys Champion - Riley Coutts

• Open Girls Champion - Jessica Weier

In 2025, many of our players won regional and metro tournaments plus also gained selection for the Darling Downs teams in events such as JDS Regional Finals - Rockhampton, Battle of the Sand - Chinchilla, Bolt to Brisbane - QTC and Queensland State Teams event - Brisbane.

TAS Tennis would like to thank and acknowledge all players, parents and staff involved who helped make 2025 a special year plus highlight the continued hard work.

The Tennis culture you have built in your time at TAS is truly phenomenal and we cannot wait to see what successes 2026 will bring to our Tennis program.

CHESS

Miss Rebecca Siganto | Chess Co-Ordinator CHESS: A SPORT OF THE MIND

Chess is more than just a game—it’s a powerful “sport of the mind” that builds concentration, problem-solving skills, and strategic thinking in students of all ages. At TAS, we are proud to offer two thriving Chess Clubs: the TAS Beginners Club and the TAS Intermediate and Secondary Club. Enthusiasm for Chess is strong across both the Primary and the Secondary school, with numbers continuing to grow. Chess is also a regular part of the Year 2 curriculum, where students enjoy weekly lessons. TAS is very lucky to have Mr. Les Lord as our very own Chess coach to assist the students with their development. It's clear that Chess is making brilliant minds even brighter at TAS!

TOOWOOMBA

DISTRICT

PRIMARY SCHOOL INDIVIDUAL CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP

The Toowoomba District Primary School Individual Chess Championship was a fantastic display of young talent and strategic thinking. A total of 342 students competed—245 in the Open division and 97 in the Novice division (Years 1 to 3). TAS students performed admirably. In the Open division, top TAS results came from Theodore Lowe (15th), Gerald Siu (20th), and Harvey Rowan (22nd). In the Novice division, impressive efforts were shown by Darcey McIlmoyle (5th), Sebastian Veal (11th), and Charlie Taylor (12th).

2025 IPSHA CHESS TOURNAMENT

The 2025 IPSHA Chess Tournament was a closely contested event, with 10 teams from 5 different schools taking part in this much-anticipated annual competition. Our number one TAS team—Zac Souter, Theodore Lowe, Harvey Rowan, and Gerald Siu -performed brilliantly, finishing in 2nd place with a total of 10.5 points, just half a point behind the winning team. It was a fantastic achievement by our TAS players, who showed great teamwork, focus, and determination throughout the tournament.

TOOWOOMBA DISTRICT PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL INVITATIONAL CHESS

CHAMPIONSHIP

The Toowoomba District Primary School Invitational Chess Championship brought together 82 of the region’s top young players for a day of high-level competition. TAS students delivered strong performances, with Zac Souter finishing 10th, Harvey Rowan 18th, and Theodore Lowe 20th.

In the Secondary section, Jaymers Yong represented TAS with determined focus and perseverance. The competition was intense, with many long, strategic games testing each player’s skill and patience. Jaymers held his own against tough opponents, finishing in a respectable 29th place.

TOOWOOMBA DISTRICT SECONDARY SCHOOL TEAMS CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP

Representing Toowoomba Anglican School, Oscar Kennedy, Maya Tebbutt, Lachlan Schelberg, Jonathan Ooi, and Jaymers Yong competed in the Toowoomba District Secondary School Teams Chess Championship, hosted at TAS. The event featured strong competition among 11 schools, with each match testing the players’ skill and focus. Team TAS performed admirably, achieving a mix of wins, ties, and losses to finish in a wellearned 7th place overall.

HERON EYECARE PRIMARY TEAMS CHESS CLASSIC

The Heron Eyecare Primary Teams Chess Classic was held at the Toowoomba Showgrounds and attracted an impressive 27 schools and 120 teams, with just under 500 students competing. Toowoomba Anglican School (TAS) performed exceptionally well across several categories. The all-female team of Charlotte Humphery, Claire Hinze, Dea Cherukuri and Chloe Lyon earned the award for Best All Female Team. In the Novice division, Fletcher Beckett, Charlie Taylor, Darcey McIlmoyle and Sebastian Veal secured a strong third place, while Bill Embrey, Mason DeLisi, James Carter and Ted Sheridan received the Winner of Outstanding Achievement in the Novice Division.

With so many exciting tournaments and outstanding individual and team results, Chess is thriving at TAS. From our beginners to our seasoned secondary players, students continue to sharpen their minds, test their strategies, and celebrate each other’s successes. The future of chess at TAS looks brighter than ever, and we look forward to seeing even more brilliant moves in the years ahead.

DEBATING

Miss Jai Dwyer | Primary Debating Co-Coordinator

Over Terms Two and Three, Year 6 students developed the art of debating, learning how to form persuasive arguments, deliver confident speeches, and think quickly under pressure.

After an in-class practice round, students participated in their first TAS debating event before heading to Fairholme College to compete in the IPSHA Primary Schools Debating Competition.

Twelve talented Year 6 students proudly represented TAS at the annual IPSHA event.

Three teams faced off against Fairholme and Toowoomba Grammar, debating thought-provoking topics such as “Good looks get you further than a good mind,” “All student leadership positions in schools should be abolished,” and “Private schools should be abolished.”

Each TAS team presented compelling, well-structured arguments, delivered sharp rebuttals, and impressed adjudicators with their confidence and clarity.

Their teamwork and preparation shone through, and their efforts were rewarded, with all three TAS teams achieving victory in their debates.

The teams were coached by Miss Dwyer, whose guidance and enthusiasm helped students refine their debating skills and build confidence as public speakers.

It was an outstanding result and a proud moment for the Year 6 cohort, showcasing their growing confidence, communication skills, and ability to think critically under pressure.

FUTSAL

Mr Tom Bradbury | Director of Sport

The year got off to a flying start with our Senior Girls contesting the Term One Interschool Futsal competition, held once again at The Glennie School, finishing third in the Open Girls competitive division.

The girls had tough matches against St Saviours, SCOTS, Toowoomba SHS, and a solid win against Glennie which left us wondering ‘what if’.

This year the TAS boys’ teams contested the SWQ Schoolboys Term 1 weekly competition for the first time, and the boys did quite well for their first foray into this very strong competition.

Our U13 team performed best, as they finished fifth overall with wins against Concordia, Highlands and Downlands.

The U15 Boys team finished seventh with wins against Downlands and Concordia, as well as tight tussles, but eventual losses against Toowoomba SHS and Highlands.

Our Open boys struggled with some continuity and finished ninth overall with a win against Downlands in their cross-over playoff to end the season on a positive note.

QCIS FUTSAL

This year, due to the cyclone in Term One, the QCIS competition was washed out ironically for an indoor sport, and as such, results were based on the participants in the Term 1 fixtures for both boys and girls.

As a result of these performances, our teams finished as follows – Open Girls 2nd, Open Boys 4th, U15 Boys 2nd and U13 Boys taking the pennant for 1st.

SWQ SCHOOLS TITLES

For the annual Regional Schools Titles, conducted by Australian Futsal Association, TAS fielded teams in the U12, U13, U14, U16 and U19 Boys competitions as well as the U19 Girls Competition.

Most teams performed well and made it through to the quarter finals stage where unfortunately they ran out of legs and were eliminated from the competition.

Our U14 Boys were the best performers going all the way to the final where they faced Toowoomba Grammar.

After a hard-fought draw with them in the opening game of the day, we went into the contest very nervous and apprehensive.

In a game that see-sawed from start to finish, it was extra time that would decide the result and a mistake the likely culprit for either team.

The team of Eli Eacersall, Lachlan Bateman, Majok Deng, Tercoc Tercoc, Charles Wicks, Sol Ahmed, Austen Ball and Alex Fitzsimmons, led by Mr Heath Bateman, created that piece of luck, and a mistake from TGS saw the boys take the Regional Title and top spot to attend the Statewide Champion of Champions event in July.

CHAMPION OF CHAMPIONS

With Mr Bateman on national duties overseas, our U14 boys and Mr Bradbury headed to Nissan Arena for the Champion of Champions finals.

Our competition started well with four solid games including a win against Bundaberg SHS and LORDS, followed by a draw and a loss to Windaroo Valley SHS and Kawana Waters State College.

Finishing second in our pool for the first time at this event, the boys progressed to the quarter-finals where we faced Peregian Beach College.

The boys fought hard and always looked threatening but were just not quite able to put Peregian away and went down 3-0 at the end of the day.

TGS went on to be Runners Up at this event proving how tight and how close all the teams were.

NATIONAL SCHOOLS FUTSAL CHAMPIONSHIPS

The following students were selected to represent Queensland West at the National Schools Futsal Championships in the September holidays following their participation in our teams at the SWQ Schools Titles in March: Cadence Knack, Jacob Bateman, Lachlan Bateman, Charles Wicks, Harrison Goleby and Oscar Kennedy represented the state with pride and distinction.

Following these championships, Ayva Clark (Italy), Lachlan Bateman (NZ), Charles Wicks (Brazil), Jacob Bateman (Italy) and Harrison Goleby (China) were invited to tour with Australian Futsal in 2026 and we look forward to hearing more regarding this opportunity for them.

AUSTRALIAN FUTSAL ASSOCIATION TOUR

Following last year’s Nationals, Thomas Graham was selected to tour with Australian Futsal in the U12 Futsal Touring Team to Malaysia and accepted this invitation.

Over the two weeks of the tour, he competed in Kuching (Borneo) and Kuala Lumpur, showcasing his skills on the international stage.

SHOOTING

Mr Tom Bradbury | Director of Sport

In 2025, we continued our involvement in the Benchrest Shooting Competitions held here on the Darling Downs.

Two events in Benchrest were conducted and TAS entered teams in both. At the Regional Benchrest Shooting Competition held at Leyburn in Semester One, we had four teams attend with the assistance of Mr Scott Whitters.

At the end of the day, our best team placing was second from the team of Jorga Cairns, Will Cameron and George Douglass. Hayden McLean was third overall in the individual standings with a score of 389 points from his shoot. Our second and third teams finished fourth and fifth in a strong showing from all our teams.

In Term 4, our shooters were out again this time with three teams in action attending the Leyburn Range once more. In what was a much bigger competition than before, the teams had to work very hard to stay amongst the medals. Our team, consisting of George Douglass, Jorja Cairns and Will Baguley, took third place in this event.

As this event grows all our students will need to be practicing more at home over the holidays to figure amongst the placings in the future. We thank Mr Biscoe for his assistance with the team at this event.

Well done to all our participants in 2025, and we look forward to this continuing with Boarding House support in 2026.

TAS SHOOTING TEAM 2025

Jack Baguley, Will Baguley, Jorga Cairns, Harry Cameron, Will Cameron, Tric Crittle, George Douglass, Jimmy Finch, Hidde Goodman, Ryan Harrison, Griffin Little, Hayden McLean, Adam Ryan, Abigail Williams, and Sam Wippell.

CRICKET

Mr Rob Jeffries | Cricket Co-Ordinator

Last summer, TAS entered four teams into the 2023-2024 Toowoomba Junior Cricket season under the combined TAS/MECC name. This then grew to six teams in the 2024-2025 season.

Additionally, TAS offered a large number of our youngest cricketers the chance to begin their cricket journey through the Cricket Blasters program held each Friday.

TAS also continued their ongoing support of the Toowoomba Girls Cricket hub through the registration of players, provision of a training facility and shared coaching support opportunities.

Throughout the seasons, our teams all performed well with some entertaining team wins, personal highlights, achievements, and a welcoming and unwavering support of our community.

The notable improvement of each player was highlighted through many new personal top scores and a large reduction in the number of wides bowled and increase in wickets taken.

A sincere thank you to the group of TAS staff members and parent volunteer coaches who supported and developed each player across the season.

TAS also had a number of inter-school cricketing opportunities, such as the Andrews Cup cricket competition and QCIS practice matches. These opportunities increased the participation numbers in TAS Cricket and saw some exciting cricket being played.

Regional, State & National SCHOOL SPORT REPRESENTATIVES

Mr Tom Bradbury | Director of Sport

This year, many students gained selection to Darling Downs and Queensland School Sport Teams across the diverse representative pathways available to our students.

TAS gained 42 Darling Downs (13-19 Years) selections and 17 Darling Downs (10-12 Years) selections across 24 Sports.

This year we also produced student officials for State Championships –Alex Winslade officiated at the 10-12 years Touch Championships, whilst George Wicks officiated at the 11-12 years Rugby Championship and even had the opportunity to referee the Semi Final.

Several further regional selections were gained through the school's participation in competitions that allowed for regional selection outside the Queensland School Sport pathway in the sports of Futsal and Rugby.

Several Staff members also represented the Region as Regional Managers and Coaches both gaining valuable experience and giving their expertise to the wider Darling Downs School Sport community.

We congratulate the following staff on their contributions to Regional School Sport in 2025:

• Mr D avid Wigan – U12 Rugby League (DD),

• Mrs Jane Roper – 16-19 Years Girls Hockey (DD),

• Mr Tom Bradbury – 10-19 Years Cross Country (DD), 13-19 Years Track and Field (DD), 10-12 Years Track and Field (QLD)

• Mr D an Biscoe has also been seconded onto the Downs Rugby Board as their newest Board member for 2025-26.

We congratulate all students below on their amazing representative achievements throughout 2025 as a result of participation in schoolbased pathways provided here at TAS.

The Performing Arts Department has had a busy and very successful year. We sincerely thank our Performing Arts staff members, students, family members and volunteers for their hard work and support throughout the year.

Pr de Prejudice i &

Secondary PLAY

Shideh Faramand | Director

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Pride and Prejudice, a romantic novel by Jane Austen, was published anonymously in three volumes in 1813.

A classic of English literature, it is celebrated for its incisive wit and superb character development. The story follows the evolving relationship between Elizabeth Bennet, the spirited daughter of a country gentleman, and Fitzwilliam Darcy, a wealthy aristocratic landowner.

Upon publication, the novel was well received, with the first edition selling out within a year. It has remained in print ever since, continuing to captivate readers with its timeless themes of love, class, and personal growth. With its sharp social commentary, enduring romance, and exploration of pride, prejudice, and personal transformation, Pride and Prejudice remains one of the most beloved novels of all time.

CHARACTERS

Primary MUSICAL

Mrs Diana Skelton | Musical Director

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Alice in Wonderland is a firm favourite of mine and has been on my bucket list of shows to direct ever since our first Broadway Jr production of Seussical Jr back in 2019.

I knew that it would be the perfect show for our current cohort of students and, as it turns out, I was right! The colour, the wackiness, the pure and utter zany nonsense – it has been SUCH FUN to bring this show to life this year.

The cast members have worked extremely hard to prepare their roles and I am confident you will thoroughly enjoy getting to know each of the characters as they enter the story. Since our first read-through in March, there have been many lunch time rehearsals, Sunday afternoons and hours at home spent memorising lines, practising choreography and rehearsing songs.

The diligence of the students is to be commended, and it has been an honour to guide them all through the production process. Bringing a musical to life is very much a team effort and my sincere thanks must go to the following people:

• Mr Jason Locke for his support and guidance, as well as for working so hard to create such a stunning set design.

• Mrs Jane Roper for assisting with the set creation, as well as for helping supervise students in the very tight confines of the backstage space.

• Mr Brenton Bowtell for building the sets.

• The Primary Teaching Staff for their encouragement and assistance behind the scenes; all of the many parent volunteers who have assisted with costumes, hair and make-up.

• The Downs Audio & Visual team for once again providing us with such excellent staging, lighting and sound equipment.

• Mrs Ruth Muller for the countless hours of behind the scenes admin work and her stunning foyer display.

• Mrs Margaret Bond and Mrs Amy Bertolo for designing and sewing the incredible costumes for the lead characters.

• Mr Billy Jupp and Mr Hugh Clarke for their assistance with marketing.

• Ms Deborah Meagher for being such a wonderful repetiteur during our rehearsals.

• Mrs Anne Gralow for working closely with the soloists and the Secondary side-stage singers.

• Tasha Wells for capturing such beautiful images of our dress rehearsal; and Mrs Rebecca Wong and her crew of Secondary students for assisting with the creation of props.

• A very heartfelt thank you must go to Mrs Jameille Eugarde for choreographing such beautiful dances throughout the show and for working so closely with the classes this term – it’s been a blast to work alongside you!

• As always, it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you all, and the show couldn’t have happened without your contributions.

• Finally, thank you to all the parents for your continued support and encouragement of the Performing Arts here at TAS.

I truly hope you love your journey down the rabbit hole with Alice and the Wonderland gang and enjoy seeing all the children across Years 3-6 perform so beautifully.

From the youngest shrubs and snails to the oldest royal cards who have dared to paint the Queen’s roses red, it has been a privilege to bring the curious world of Wonderland to life.

Year 2 MAIN SCHOOL CLOSE ADVENTURES

Mrs Tammie Irons & Mrs Silver White

What an adventure our Year 2 students had at this year’s camp!

Excitement filled the air as tents popped up across Main School Close, with families pitching in together to create a cosy minivillage. Most campers spent the night under canvas, while others made the classroom their home for the evening with Mrs White and Ms Irons.

The afternoon was buzzing with energy as children played games and zipped around the cloisters on their scooters – helmets on, of course!

Once tents were standing tall, everyone gathered for a delicious BBQ dinner, kindly cooked by some of our wonderful dads.

After dinner came a calm and cosy evening. Mrs Roper treated the campers to bedtime stories before the group settled in for a movie and supper of warm milo and biscuits. While the children slept soundly

(perhaps better than their parents!), the early morning brought smiles and chatter as everyone headed to the Dining Hall for a hearty breakfast, just like the boarding students.

The following day was packed with fun – Chess sessions, games on Main School Close, a refreshing swim, and some well-earned rest time.

Year 2 Camp is always a highlight on the calendar. It was wonderful to see parents and children working together, laughing together, and sharing in such a special experience. A heartfelt thank you to all families for their support and help in making the camp such a smooth and memorable success.

Year 3 CAMP COOBY

Mrs Bethany Graham & Miss Rebecca Siganto

On the 23rd and 24th of October, the Year 3 students set off on an exciting adventure to Camp Cooby for their much-anticipated school camp.

Accompanied by Miss Siganto, Mrs Graham and Mr Locke, the students enjoyed two days packed with fun, teamwork and unforgettable memories.

The camp was a wonderful opportunity for students to develop independence, build resilience and strengthen friendships. Everyone took part in a range of engaging activities. Students worked on goal setting, learning to think about their strengths and what they want to achieve. They played forest games, tested their aim in archery and worked creatively in teams to build catapults.

One of the highlights was baking damper, which students enjoyed cooking over a fire. The zip line was a crowd favourite, with many students bravely soaring through the air! There were also relaxing lawn games, which were a great way to cool down during breaks.

Night-time brought even more excitement. Students gathered around the campfire, sharing jokes and stories under the stars. The game of

spotlight was filled with laughter and sneaky hiding spots as students darted through the dark, trying not to be found. After a big day, everyone settled into cosy cabins. Teachers were impressed with the excellent behaviour shown by every student throughout the camp.

Adding to the magic of Camp Cooby were the friendly animals that lived there. Students were thrilled to meet two llamas named Paddington and Valentine, as well as a pony named Ruby. They quickly became camp favourites!

Although the weather was very hot during the camp, students stayed hydrated and showed great resilience, never letting the heat stop them from enjoying their experience.

Overall, Year 3 Camp was a fantastic success! Students returned home with new skills, happy memories and stories they will be sharing for a long time. It truly was a camp to remember!

Year 4 CAMP SOMERSET

Mrs Jodi Whittle & Ms Lisa Singleton

The Year 4 camp to Camp Somerset was one of the most eagerly awaited events of the school year, filled with adventure, laughter, and personal growth.

Over three days and two nights, students embraced challenges that encouraged courage, teamwork, and resilience. Under the guidance of Miss Singleton, Mr Jeffries, Mr Locke, Mr Wysel, and Mrs Whittle, they embarked on a journey that stretched both body and mind.

A major focus of the camp was encouraging students to step beyond their comfort zones. For many, spending two nights away from home was a significant milestone. Yet every student faced the experience with courage and maturity. By the final day, there was a noticeable sense of pride as students realised how much they had grown in confidence and independence.

The adventurous spirit of Camp Somerset came alive through a range of exciting outdoor activities. Canoeing on Somerset Dam was definitely a favourite. Working in pairs or groups of three, students learned the art of paddling in unison and steering their canoes with precision. There were some very near misses and much laughter as the students chased one another around the dam in their canoes. Raft building provided another memorable challenge, as teams worked together to construct floating vessels from limited materials such as rope, tyre tubes, and planks. There was a lot of excitement as the students tested their vessels on the dam, and much hilarity as they invariably fell apart and sank.

Perhaps the most daring experiences were the Koala Climb and Crate Stack, which tested students’ courage at new heights. Using a donkey belay system, climbers relied on their teammates for support, encouragement, and safety. The shouts of support and advice from their friends below helped each student push past their fears and climb higher than they thought possible.

Teamwork and trust were also central to the Burma Trail Walk and Low Ropes Course. During the Burma Trail, blindfolded students carefully followed their peers’ guidance through rugged bushland—a true test of communication and cooperation. On the Low Ropes Course, balance, coordination, and teamwork were essential as groups helped one another navigate obstacles and “walk the tightrope”.

After action-packed days, the camp’s swimming pool offered the perfect way to unwind. The promise of a cool swim was often just the motivation needed to tackle the steep hill back to camp!

Evenings brought just as much joy and connection. On the first night, students showcased the dances they had practised throughout Term 3— from Scottish country and Australian bush dancing to modern favourites like The Nutbush. The second evening featured an entertaining quiz night hosted by Miss Singleton, where teams competed in rounds covering everything from Disney trivia to world landmarks.

For the teachers, watching the students thrive outside the classroom— embracing challenges, showing kindness, and cheering one another on—was truly inspiring.

When the buses rolled back into school, the students were tired but happy. Each had achieved something meaningful—whether conquering a fear, mastering a skill, or building new friendships. The Camp Somerset experience will be remembered not just for its adventures, but for the confidence and camaraderie it helped to create.

Year 5 GOLD COAST

Ms Tanya Lowein & Mrs Emma Harrison

Year 5 were treated to a wonderful time as we ventured down to Tallebudgera Beach Outdoor Education Centre at the Gold Coast.

The camp took place from 28-30 July and was a highlight of the year for many students. We were joined by our visiting Ritsumeiken students, who were in awe of the beaches, activities and weather!

Having settled into our cabins and with the sound of the waves breaking on the beach in the background, the students were split into groups and thrown right into the action.

After extensive instruction on the correct use of harnesses, helmets and safety procedures, students were consistently pushed out of their comfort zones with many activities requiring courage and determination.

All students are to be commended on pushing themselves to their personal limits in activities, especially the ultimate adrenaline rush, the giant swing.

The beach played a fun and important role at camp. From earlymorning beach walks to catch the sunrise, to swims and shell-collecting expeditions the beach was a hit for all.

Many of the activities also took place in the sand and waves. These included beach games and canoeing. We ventured up the Tallebudgera River to learn kayaking skills and explore Crab Island and the mangroves along the river’s edge.

Catching the soldier crabs and swimming in the pristine waters were further highlights of our stay. The food provided was of a very high standard, ensuring that students were well fueled for all activities.

With the focus for the week being leadership and teamwork, the students were exposed to scenarios where they were required to work together, encouraging each other to persist, persevere and challenge themselves. Good listening skills and cooperation were key to successfully completing many tasks.

Student behaviour throughout the camp was exemplary and all are to be congratulated for the positive manner with which they supported each other through tasks and challenges.

Fantastic team spirit and great comradery were evident throughout the days even as tiredness set in.

A special thank you to all staff in attendance who made this wonderful camp a memorable part of Year 5.

Year 6 CANBERRA

Miss Jai Dwyer & Mrs Ali McIntyre

Our Year 6 trip to Canberra was an unforgettable adventure filled with learning, laughter, and new experiences.

Over the course of our visit, we explored some of Australia’s most significant landmarks, engaged in thrilling activities, and strengthened friendships. From visiting Parliament House to riding bikes around Lake Burley Griffin, every moment was packed with excitement and discovery.

One of the highlights of our trip was our visit to Parliament House. We had the opportunity to step inside the very place where Australia’s laws are made. We toured the House of Representatives and the Senate, learning about the country’s democratic system and how laws are passed. A few of us even got to participate in a mock debate, which was both fun and educational.

Another exhilarating experience was our bike ride around Lake Burley Griffin. The scenic views were breathtaking, and the fresh air made the ride even more enjoyable. Whether we were racing each other or taking in the peaceful surroundings, this was a great way to bond with our classmates while staying active.

Our accommodation was comfortable and welcoming, providing the perfect place to rest after our busy days. However, the real fun happened outside, where we invented our own version of ‘carpark cricket.’ It became a nightly tradition, with everyone joining in to cheer, play, and enjoy the spirit of friendly competition. This simple yet exciting game strengthened our friendships and created some of our best memories.

At the National Dinosaur Museum, we took a trip back in time to explore the prehistoric world. Walking among towering dinosaur models and examining fascinating fossils was an awe-inspiring experience. The museum’s interactive displays helped us understand the evolution of these incredible creatures, making learning about history both fun and engaging.

Our visit to Questacon was nothing short of amazing. The hands-on exhibits allowed us to experiment with science in the most exciting ways. The Free-Fall Slide was a huge hit, as was the earthquake simulator. We learned about physics, engineering, and technology through fun and interactive displays, proving that science can be both educational and thrilling.

Beyond all the incredible activities, one of the most valuable aspects of our trip was the friendships we strengthened. Spending time together in new and exciting environments allowed us to bond in ways that we never had before. We also learned important life lessons about independence, teamwork, and respect. Whether it was navigating bike trails, debating in Parliament, or supporting each other in carpark cricket, we discovered the true meaning of teamwork and camaraderie.

Our Year 6 trip to Canberra was an experience we will never forget. From educational tours to outdoor adventures, every part of the journey was filled with fun and learning. We returned home with new knowledge, stronger friendships, and memories that will last a lifetime. Canberra truly was the perfect destination for an exciting and educational camp!

Year 7 EMU GULLY

Mr Craig Brittan | Year 7 Co-ordinator

This year, our Year 7s travelled to Emu Gully for their annual camp.

Held in Week 2 of first term, this camp is always a great way for the cohort to get to know each other and forge a tone and culture that carries them through the remainder of the year.

From team building and problem solving activities, students learn to work together in respectful ways for the greater good.

While not hitting our roads any time soon, students also had a great time driving buggies in what is one of the most popular activities.

By far the most anticipated activity was the muddy obstacle course which relies on students working together within their class groups.

After rinsing off with a giant slide ride or two, students had a swim in the dam to get the remaining mud off their bodies.

A great time was had by all, and for many, it was the start off building memories and friendships for life.

Year 8 SUNSHINE COAST

Charles Sheppard & Vaggelis Damianos

The camp was in week three of Term One, from Monday to Friday.

Some of the main activities that the rest of the cohort and I enjoyed were the aerial adventure in which students soared to new heights, not just with their confidence, but literally too. As the students embarked on the expedition, they went as high as seven metres (three times the height of the world’s tallest man) into the air. Not only that, but the students also braved obstacles such as a flying surfboard, a jungle of ropes and giant boxes covered with fish netting that the students had to climb over in a true test of endurance, resilience and perseverance.

A relaxing activity was the free swim session where students relaxed by the pool, hoisted breath-holding competitions and games of ‘piggy-inthe-middle’. It was the perfect chance for students to cool down, talk to their friends and enjoy themselves.

When I saw my cohort participating at camp, I felt nothing but pride and joy, not just because of the new friendships being formed, but the way these students upheld the reputation of TAS with the utmost sense of duty. For example, I saw students respond to the staff of the campsite with the same respect they would show a teacher or a parent, looking to them for guidance and listening to every instruction, completing it faster than I thought possible, a credit to the teamwork and mateship of the students.

The camp was held at the Sunshine Coast Recreation Precinct, with most students wanting to have fun, meet new people, learn who our friends and classmates are and to try to tackle that fear of heights some of us have had. Many of us also assumed that we would get to travel to the beach to battle the waves, sun and animals, while also splashing our friends. Although we were sadly mistaken, there was still plenty of fun to be had.

All of us were surprised with the problem solving skills our peers showed, particularly in the Alpine Adventure – where we had to navigate our way over a precarious series of tiny tyres and lethal logs with only two metal planks and our team mates to survive – and in the Team Challenge, having to rescue ourselves from each other, constructing shapes with string, or planning to sink the other teams’ battleships.

The activities helped all of us grow, by being able to conquer our fears, be they heights or anything else. In meeting new people, talking with them, working with them and yes, winning and losing with them. It taught us many useful skills, like how to tie knots, or how to tell someone to pick up a toy and throw it without talking to them. All in all, camp was a great, fun, and occasionally humbling experience, that I think next year’s Grade 8s will love.

Year 9 CAMP

Mr David Klan | Head of Secondary

A Journey of Challenge and Connection

The Year 9 camp was once again a highlight of the school year, providing students with the opportunity to step outside their comfort zones, strengthen friendships, and enjoy the beauty of the great outdoors.

One of the most memorable aspects of camp was the hike, which tested endurance and resilience while rewarding participants with scenic views and a strong sense of accomplishment.

Carrying their own gear, students demonstrated determination and teamwork as they tackled the trails, learning first-hand the value of persistence and mutual support.

Back at camp, evenings under the stars gave students the chance to share stories, cook together, and enjoy the camaraderie of outdoor living. These moments of simplicity created lasting memories and encouraged students to embrace both independence and collaboration.

A wide variety of adventure activities kept spirits high and challenged

students to think creatively and act courageously. Whether navigating the water in canoes, working together to climb daunting structures, or puzzling their way through team challenges, every activity fostered problem-solving, cooperation, and a willingness to face fears with courage.

One of the true highlights of this year’s camp was the barn dance. With Dr Rangiira on guitar, Mr Parrington on accordion, and Mr Wheaton on lagerphone, the dance floor came alive. The lively music and rustic energy had everyone on their feet, filling the evening with laughter, rhythm, and joy.

Throughout the camp, the students were exemplary in their enthusiasm and spirit. They tackled challenges with courage, supported one another generously, and represented the school with pride.

The experience reinforced the values of resilience, teamwork, and friendship, leaving memories that will continue to resonate as they move forward in their senior years.

Year 10 BRISBANE CITY IMMERSION

Mr Paul Barber | Head of Pathways

The Year 10 Camp to Brisbane City was an enriching experience, offering students a unique blend of urban exploration, personal growth, and future-focused discovery.

Our group of inquisitive students had the chance to delve into the vibrant culture and diverse educational opportunities that Brisbane City has to offer. Throughout the camp, students engaged with various tertiary institutions, gaining valuable insights into higher education and vocational pathways.

Visits to university campuses provided a glimpse into academic life, showcasing the importance of connections and the breadth of study options available. Similarly, exploring vocational training facilities offered a hands-on perspective on practical skills and career-oriented education. These experiences were designed to inspire and inform, helping students envision their potential academic and professional futures.

A significant component of the camp involved challenging students to step beyond their comfort zones. At an adventure centre, campers faced their fears head-on, whether through abseiling down towering

cliffs, rock climbing, or kayaking on the Brisbane River. Each student discovered their inner strength and resilience, triumphing over these obstacles with a newfound sense of accomplishment and confidence. These activities fostered teamwork and encouraged students to support one another in overcoming personal challenges.

Beyond the structured visits, students also had opportunities for social connection and relaxation. Informal gatherings, shared meals, and recreational activities allowed for the formation of lasting friendships and a chance to unwind in the city's green spaces.

As the camp concluded, students reflected on an unforgettable adventure that broadened their horizons and empowered them to embrace the endless possibilities that await them.

The Year 10 Brisbane City Camp holds a special place in their hearts, reminding them of the incredible potential that resides within each of them as they move into their senior school years and beyond.

Year 12 Excursion BIOLOGY & GEOGRAPHY

Miss Tegan Deer | Deputy Head of Secondary Hastings Point and Hidden Vale

Earlier this year, our Year 12 Biology students extended their learning beyond the classroom with immersive experiences at Hastings Point and Hidden Vale during the annual Year 12 Biology Camp.

Our students got to experience first-hand the stunning beauty of the coastline all while enjoying hands-on learning experiences.

At Hastings Point, the students explored marine and coastal ecosystems, examining the relationships between species and their environments.

A popular highlight among the students was getting the chance to observe and study marine organisms in their natural habitat. Hidden Vale offered another chance to study biodiversity, land management, and conservation practices in a bushland setting.

These trips not only provide valuable insight for our students into the world around them, but they also offer up wonderful, life-long memories for them to take with them.

The knowledge gained and the memories made will undoubtedly inspire our students as they move forward with their lives.

Year 12 Retreat BUNYA MOUNTAINS

Mr David Klan | Head of Secondary

The Year 12 cohort commenced their final year with a transformative leadership retreat at the Bunya Mountains,

The Year 12 cohort commenced their final year with a transformative leadership retreat at the Bunya Mountains, departing just after morning tea on the Friday of Week One, Term One.

The Year 12 cohort, accompanied by Miss Trina Faint, Mr Dave Klan, Miss Teagan Deer, Dr Michael Simpson, Mr Pat Wysel and Mrs Bianca Lingard, embarked on this journey with the shared goal of preparing for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead in their final year of schooling.

Set against the serene backdrop of the Bunya Mountains, the retreat offered a rich blend of leadership development, spiritual reflection, and personal growth.

Students engaged in workshops focused on individual responsibility, collaborative success, and strategic approaches to study and assessment.

These sessions laid the foundation for the year’s academic and personal goals, encouraging students to reflect deeply on their roles as leaders within the school community.

Meals were shared at local cafés and restaurants, but the most memorable dining experiences came from the student-led cooking each evening.

These moments showcased teamwork, empathy, and initiative, as students worked together to prepare meals that catered to everyone’s needs.

Spiritual leadership was guided by Mr Pat Wysel, who facilitated moments of quiet reflection and connection.

One of the most poignant experiences was the solo reflection time, facilitated by Miss Teagan Deer, during which students read personal letters from their parents and spent 90 minutes alone in nature, contemplating the journey behind them and the significant year ahead.

This peaceful solitude provided space for gratitude, clarity, and renewed purpose.

The retreat also featured a series of outdoor activities, including a scenic hike along the trail to the waterfall and lookout.

The early morning hike to witness the sunrise was a standout moment; an awe-inspiring experience that symbolised new beginnings and the collective hope for the year ahead.

Prefects played a key role in leading team-building games on Saturday afternoon, fostering unity and camaraderie among the cohort.

Their leadership in these activities demonstrated the strength and potential of the student body to support one another throughout the year.

The group returned mid-morning on Sunday, carrying with them not just memories, but a shared vision for the year to come, allowing for the retreat to be a launchpad for growth, leadership, and legacy.
