The Springfield Anglican College (TSAC) is an independent Anglican co-educational early learning, primary and secondary day school, located in Springfield, a suburb of the City of Ipswich in South East Queensland, Australia.

The College comprises two campuses, the early learning centre and primary school from Kindergarten to Year 6, located on Springfield College Drive; and the secondary school from Year 7 to Year 12) on the Springfield – Greenbank 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 950 students, from Prep (preschool) to Year Twelve.

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.

The college was originally a joint initiative of the Anglican Church of Australia and the Uniting Church in Australia and until 2009 was operated by EDUCANG along with Mary McConnel School, Forest Lake, The FLC International Centre and The Lakes College. In October 2009, sole ownership of Forest Lake College (FLC) and The Springfield College (TSC) was assumed by the 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.

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. "Rebranding" would commence immediately with the names to officially take effect on 1 January 2011.
