Image of Calrossy Anglican School Calrossy Anglican School:
Calrossy was founded in 1919 by a group of parishioners from St John's Parish Church. Tamworth, led by the vicar, Canon Rupert Fairbrother. It began with just seventeen students.

Known originally as the Tamworth Church of England Girls' School, it first occupied a site close to the church in East Tamworth. Lessons were held in the church hall and the boarding house was an old building on the corner of Brisbane and Carthage Streets.

In 1923, the school moved to its present site in Brisbane Street, a property formerly owned by Mr. John Patterson. His fine old home, the centrepiece of our school was named Calrossy after the family property in Scotland.

The school eventually adopted the name ‘Calrossy’ in 1969. It remained a parish school until 1936 when it was taken over by the Diocese of Armidale. In 2006 the School combined with William Cowper School, and in 2008 became known as Calrossy Anglican School. Calrossy Anglican School values this rich spiritual heritage, continuing to provide an educational community where innovative education and genuine Christian values unite.

Today Calrossy Anglican School offers a Primary and Secondary Boys' school on the William Cowper Campus, and a Secondary Girls' Day and Boarding school on the Brisbane Street Campus.

Rochester Independent College

The College has an atmosphere closer to university than school. We offer students the opportunity to thrive in an atmosphere of managed independence that acts as a stepping stone between school and university.

At RIC, there is no uniform, no bells ring and everybody is on first name terms. Students are encouraged to be themselves and achieve exam results that often exceed their expectations.

“My wife and I left RIC after our visit convinced it was the right move for our daughter. In fact, it’s the kind of school we both would have loved to have gone to ourselves.”
