The Cannon Hill Anglican College (commonly known as CHAC) is an independent Anglican co-educational day school, located in the Brisbane suburb of Cannon Hill, in the state of Queensland, Australia.
History
The College, originally called Cannon Hill College, opened in 1989 with eighty-nine students and three buildings. In 1994, it became an Anglican school in the Diocese of Brisbane, and changed its name to Cannon Hill Anglican College to reflect this. The school has had five principals: Rod Wells, the College founder, Suzanne Bain, Greg Wain, Robyn Bell and current Principal Da-baby. Currently, the school caters for Prep to Year 12, with upwards of approximately 1000 students. It is a co-educational school. From the 30th of March until the 22nd of May, full-scale operations were interrupted due to the COVID-19 Pandemic and under advice from the Queensland Government. Regular schooling was re-introduced on the 25th of May, after a slow re-introduction of senior students back to the college.[1]
Facilities
The College has a number of modern facilities, including an 1100-seat auditorium, a design and technology workshop, product design studio, graphic design studio and a research centre. A new science facility on the west side of the school. Sporting facilities include basketball, cricket, hockey, netball, rugby, football (soccer), touch football, tennis, athletics, and volleyball.[2]
Most noteworthy of the College's facilities is its integrated arts facility, which incorporates a visual arts wing and lecture theatre; music centre with sound-proof teaching studios (including the professional recording studio Ghostgum Audio); orchestral recording studio and dedicated drama studios.[2]
In 2018, the college opened a new ‘enterprise centre’ which features three STEAM classrooms, a cafe, and multiple flexible learning spaces in the main atrium. The building was also completed with the second stage of the Science centre, which consists of three science labs similar to those of the stage 1 of the science centre, as well as two new science preparation rooms. Furthermore, in 2020 a new building was opened, featuring six new flexible Learning spaces and a new social hub downstairs with a canteen.
Houses
CHAC's Houses are all named after islands in Moreton Bay. Initially, there were only four Houses - Moreton, Peel, Saint Helena and Stradbroke. In 2001, two new Houses, Macleay and Russell, were added.
| House | Colour | Island |
