Centenary of The Armidale SchoolPrint Page 
The Chapel Lych Gate was a gift from the Old Boys’ Union to mark the centenary of the School. The Lych Gate was designed by Old Boy architect Ross Farrell and dedicated in 1994.
The Armidale School (abbreviated as TAS) is an independent Anglican co- educational early lesrning, primary and secondary day and boarding school located in Armidale, on the New England Tablelands of northern New South Wales, Australia. Administration of the schools is formalised as a company limited by guarantee that operates under the Corporations Act.
Founded in 1894 as the New England Proprietary School, its name was changed to The Armidale School in 1896. A year later TAS, as it is now widely known, joined the Association of Great Public Schools of NSW and today is the only non-metropolitan member.
