With current enrolments at 670 (including 230 boarders), TAS has a Junior School offering the IB Primary Years Programme (Years T-5), Middle School (Years 6-8) and Senior School (9-12). TAS is one of the oldest boarding schools in the State, with half of the secondary students living on the campus. TAS encourages the pursuit of academic success as well as participation in the full breadth of the co-curricular and outdoor activities programs that shape the development of character, resilience and a passion for life. Activities such as cadets (TAS is the one of the three oldest cadet units in Australia), surf life saving and Rural Fire Service are complemented by service trips and expeditions in Australia and overseas. TAS is the only regional member of the Athletic Association of Great Public Schools (AAGPS NSW), as well as being a member of Round Square, a world-wide association of schools that believe education is not just about academic achievement, but also about giving students the opportunity, through adventure, leadership and service activities, to prove to themselves that they can make a difference. Complementing the historic main building designed by noted architect Sir John Sulman are a Creative Arts centre with a 240-seat theatre and specialist classrooms, indoor 25m heated swimming pool, gymnasium and strength training centre, six sporting ovals and eight all-weather tennis courts, modern classrooms and library, five refurbished bboarding houses, specialist 24 hour Medical Centre, rifle range, trades training centre and large areas of green space.
