Foundation
The college was incepted in late 1999 by the Sydney Anglican Schools Corporation. Rapid growth in the area demanded the need for a new independent school, with nearest independent schools including Macarthur Anglican School, Freeman Catholic College and Good Samaritan Catholic College
The school began operation on its current Middleton Grange campus in 2000. Initially the school operated Kindergarten to year 6 classes, with an additional year being added each calendar year, until 2006 when both Preparatory and year 12 began operation.
Today, Thomas Hassall Anglican college provides a high quality Christian education for more than 1300 young people of the western Sydney region, upholding both strong moral and religious values.
