Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School is a co-educational private day school on the southern end of the Gold Coast, Australia, offering an integrated NSW curriculum from pre-school through to Year 12. The school has two campuses, pre-school through to Year 4 at Tweed Heads South, and Year 5 through to Year 12 in Terranora, New South Wales. It is located in the Anglican Diocese of Grafton.
Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School was established in 1981 as a result of initiatives taken by the Rector and parishioners of St. Cuthbert's Church, Tweed Heads. The campus at Sunshine Avenue has progressively expanded its facilities and 1995 saw the growth into secondary years. In 1996 the Senior School relocated to its permanent site at Mahers Lane, Terranora, with the middle school joining it in 1997. The Pre-school opened at the Junior School Campus in 1998. Development is ongoing at both campuses to house Lindisfarne’s expanding enrollment.
Located in Terranora in the Tweed Valley hinterland, the school overlooks the Terranora Broadwater and out to the Pacific Ocean. Brisbane is one and a quarter hours north, and Byron Bay thirty minutes south. The Gold Coast Airport at Coolangatta is twenty minutes from the school.
It is an Anglican co-educational school serving the Tweed Coast and southern Gold Coast. While close to the Queensland border, Lindisfarne is distinctly a NSW school; it is registered and accredited by the NSW Board of Studies. The school offers the six key learning areas in the primary school and the eight key learning areas in secondary school leading to the award of the NSW Higher School Certificate in Year 12.
The school runs using a bi-week system, with week A differing to week B on the time table, repeating every fortnight.
Students are entitled to two electives, and may change them from year 9 to 10.
HSC
Note: Students may be given class time, or can study Distance Ed. as a third elective. Note that elective courses may not go ahead if subjects do not have enough participants.
From the Pre-School through to Year 6, Pastoral Care is provided by the students own teacher with the support of specialist teachers with which they have regular classes with throughout the week.
An explicit Pastoral Care Programme is delivered to students in years 7–10 in which topics are addressed such as resilience, bullying and harassment, how to cope with stress, loss, mental illness, self-esteem, confidence, self-discipline, drug education and other issues of physical, emotional and social wellbeing. Students meet with their Pastoral Care teacher every day and are always available to discuss with them any issues, problems or triumphs they wish to share.
