In the late 1990s, The Anglican Schools Corporation recognised that the population of north-west Sydney was set to grow rapidly and decided to purchase land in Rouse Hill to establish an affordable Christian school for families who would settle in the area in the years to come.
Since then...
When the Corporation purchased the current site, they built a few classrooms and administration office on the corner of Worcester and Rouse Roads. Mr Peter Fowler was appointed as the foundation principal of Rouse Hill Anglican College (RHAC) in 2001 and just over 100 Junior School students became Rouse Hill Anglican College’s foundation students the following year.
The College developed a strong reputation in the community and continued to grow each year, reaching over 1,600 students from Pre-K to Year 12 by the end of 2025.
Over time, the Hills District community has evolved, with families working in a range of professional fields. This shift has contributed to growing demand in the Senior School for courses in science, mathematics, and business. The new STEM building, completed in May 2025, supports this strong interest in science, technology, and mathematics-based learning.
The future is bright...
The College welcomed Mr Brett Hartley as its second Principal in 2022 and currently employs approximately 200 dedicated teachers and support staff who are committed to the College vision:
To be a united, Christian learning community committed to taking opportunities, serving and achieving.
During Mr Hartley’s time as the Principal, RHAC has developed a strong commitment to 5 Teaching and Learning principles which form the foundation for how students learn.
- Explicit instruction
- High expectations
- Relational teaching
- Data informed practice
- Effective feedback
From humble beginnings in 2002, the College has been consistently committed to Christian education and values, and caring for the academic, social and emotional needs of students.
