The College comprises two campuses, the early learning centre and primary school from [Kindergarten](/source/Kindergarten) to [Year 6](/source/Year_Six), located on Springfield College Drive; and the secondary school from [Year 7](/source/Year_Seven) to [Year 12](/source/Year_Twelve)) on the Springfield – [Greenbank](/source/Greenbank,_Queensland) Arterial. In 2024, the College has approximately 1100 students across both Campuses. ## History The Springfield Anglican College was established on 4 May 1998 as The Springfield College (TSC), with an enrolment of twelve students. Student numbers have grown quickly and it now has an estimated enrolment of over 1100 students, from Kindergarten to Year 12. In 2007, enrolments outgrew facilities – a result of the delayed start of the new Middle/Senior School campus – and Senior School students (Years Ten to Twelve) were transferred to sister school [Forest Lake College](/source/Forest_Lake_College). The college was originally a joint initiative of the Anglican Church of Australia and the [Uniting Church in Australia](/source/Uniting_Church_of_Australia) and until 2009 was operated by EDUCANG along with [Mary McConnel School](/source/Mary_McConnel_School), [Forest Lake](/source/Forest_Lake,_Queensland), [The FLC International Centre](/source/The_FLC_International_Centre) and [The Lakes College](/source/The_Lakes_College_(Queensland)). In October 2009, sole ownership of Forest Lake College (FLC) and The Springfield College (TSC) was assumed by the [Anglican Diocese of Brisbane](/source/Anglican_Diocese_of_Brisbane) and a new board was appointed to EDUCANG. The Uniting Church in Australia had previously taken sole ownership of The Lakes College at Mango Hill. The College celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2008. In April, Stage 1 of the new Secondary Campus was completed and students in Years 6 to 10 relocated into the purpose-built campus. In 2010, the College returned to a Prep to Year 12 College, and Year 6 re-joining the Primary Campus following the renovation of new large classrooms. On 4 November 2010, a new entity FSAC Ltd (Forest Lake and Springfield Anglican Colleges) took over the governances of the two colleges from EDUCANG and renamed the colleges – St John's Anglican College and The Springfield Anglican College. The new College name officially took effect on [1 January 2011](https://tsac.qld.edu.au/discover/celebrating-25-years/). The College celebrated its 25th year of educating young people in 2023. ## College Clans and Pastoral Care The Springfield Anglican College's [pastoral care program](https://tsac.qld.edu.au/student-life/student-wellbeing/) is based on the College Clan structure, of which there are four: Keith, McDuff, Robertson, and Sinclair, named in honour of some of Scotland's proudest and most historic families.
