What Trinity Anglican School Limited does

Trinity Anglican School Limited (TAS) is a co-educational private K-12 school founded in 1983, operating across two campuses in Cairns, Queensland, Australia: White Rock Campus (Pre-Kindy to Year 12, capacity 1,190) and Kewarra Beach Campus (Pre-Kindy to Year 6, capacity 494), with a combined capacity of 1,684 students. The school delivers a comprehensive education built on values of compassion, integrity, curiosity, and perseverance, with an Anglican identity framework. Academic outcomes are strong by regional Queensland standards, with 90.4% of 2022 graduates receiving an ATAR and 72% achieving ATAR 80 or above. The school is ranked 27th in Australia, 4th in Queensland, and is the highest-ranked school in Cairns and regional Queensland. The school is governed by a Board of Directors and led by Principal Paul Sjogren. The school is a CRICOS-registered provider (No. 00770B), enabling international student enrollment on Student Visa Subclass 500, and has been a Round Square Global member since 2004.

The core product portfolio includes Early Learning (Pre-Kindy and Kindergarten with a Bush Kindy nature-based program), Primary School (Prep to Year 6 with specialist lessons in Japanese, Music, Art, HPE, and Swimming), and Secondary School (Year 7 to Year 12 with a STEM focus and QCE/ATAR pathways). Ancillary programs include an award-winning Outdoor Education program (Year 1 to Year 12, culminating in an 18-day Year 9 expedition), a TAS Aquatic Centre with a 50m Olympic-standard pool, OSHC, Music and Arts, Sport, International Student Programs, and a Scholarship Program. Technology stack is third-party and conventional: RollCall for bus tracking, Xplor for OSHC enrollment, and a Learning Analytics platform for assessment.

Revenue is generated primarily through recurring annual tuition fees under an all-inclusive structure that covers laptops (Years 3-12), textbooks, stationery, curriculum-based excursions, weekly swimming (Prep-Year 6), and the Outdoor Education program. Supplementary revenue streams include subscription-based bus services (Down Under Tours partnership, A$800-A$1,300/year), OSHC (A$19.50-A$61/day), uniform sales, and Aquatic Centre programs. The go-to-market is event-driven: campus tours, annual Prep and Year 7 information sessions, and an online application portal, supplemented by community events, alumni networks, and education agents for international recruitment. The school is currently executing a multi-year campus transformation (Kewarra Beach Trinity Centre opening 2026, White Rock Masterplan) partially funded by the Australian Government Capital Grants Program.
