History

Lindisfarne Anglican Grammar School was established in 1981 as a result of initiatives taken by the Rector and parishioners of St Cuthbert's Church Tweed Heads. The campus at Sunshine Avenue has progressively expanded its facilities and 1995 saw the growth into secondary year. In 1996 the Senior School relocated to its permanent site at Mahers Lane Terranora, with the middle school joining it in 1997. The Pre-school opened at the Junior School Campus in 1998. Development is ongoing at both campuses to house Lindisfarne's expanding enrolment.[1]

Location

Located in Terranora in the Tweed Valley hinterland, the school overlooks the Terranora Broadwater and out to the Tasman Sea.
