Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School

Lindisfarne is an independent, Anglican, co-educational grammar school guided by the values of compassion, wisdom, and respect. It operates under the motto "Luceat Lux Vestra — Let Your Light Shine," fostering a culture of high standards, leadership, and collaboration. The school emphasizes faith formation through an invitational, staged enquiry process that encourages students to explore moral and ethical challenges.

The school follows the NSW Curriculum, organized into three subschools: Junior School (Preschool to Year 4), Middle School (Years 5 to 8), and Senior School (Years 9 to 12). The academic program is supported by a "one school, three subschools" model that manages transitions and provides age-appropriate learning experiences. International students can access primary studies, junior secondary studies, and the Senior Secondary Certificate of Education.

Graduates are prepared to be collaborative problem-solvers equipped to make positive contributions to their local, national, and global communities. The school emphasizes the development of good judgment, character, and service to others. Senior students have the pathway to undertake the Higher School Certificate (HSC) examinations in Year 12.

The school adopts a "whole child" philosophy, focusing on the cognitive, physical, spiritual, creative, personal, and social development of each student. Pastoral care and wellbeing structures are integrated into each subschool to support individual student progress and achievement. The school also provides specialized ESL support for international students.

Applications are accepted year-round, with key intake years for Preschool, Kindergarten, Year 5, and Year 7 filling quickly. The process involves submitting an online application, followed by an interview with the relevant Head of Subschool, Deputy Principal, or Principal. Offers are confirmed in writing and require a non-refundable enrolment acceptance fee. Families are encouraged to book a Principal’s Tour to experience the school firsthand.

The school operates on a four-term structure, with the exception of Year 12, which is billed over three terms. The academic year typically commences in late January, following an orientation period for new and transitioning students. Detailed term dates for the current and upcoming years are available on the school website.

The school operates across two campuses: the Junior School (Preschool to Year 4) on Sunshine Avenue in Tweed Heads South, and the Middle and Senior School (Years 5 to 12) on Mahers Lane in Terranora. The Mahers Lane campus is semi-rural with ocean views, while the school also maintains a Water Sports and Marine Studies Centre at Cudgen Creek. Facilities include modern classrooms, specialized subject areas for Senior School, and technology-integrated learning environments.

The school offers a wide range of co-curricular activities, including sporting, artistic, and academic programs designed to develop life skills, endurance, and team building. Notable opportunities include the Matt Fydler Sports Academy, music programs, and outdoor education initiatives. Students also participate in productions such as musicals and engage in service-based activities like the Kokoda Challenge.
