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 Gary O'Brien. 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.Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
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.pp poo poo
