History
The Springfield Anglican College was established in 1998 as The Springfield College (TSC), with an enrolment of eleven students. Student numbers have grown quickly and it now has an enrolment of 480 students, from Prep (pre-school) to Year Nine.
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 Limited 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 & 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.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“Don’t give your opinions about Art and the Purpose of Life. They are of little interest and, anyway, you can’t express them. Don’t analyse yourself. Give the relevant facts and let your readers make their own judgments. Stick to your story. It is not the most important subject in history but it is one about which you are uniquely qualified to speak.”
—Evelyn Waugh (1903–1966)
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man’s right to his body, or woman’s right to her soul.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
