The Frederick Irwin Anglican School - Halls Head Campus, opened in January 2018, caters for Kindergarten to Year 6 students. The school motto is "The Truth Will Set You Free." HistoryThe school is named after Frederick Chidley Irwin, the acting Governor of Western Australia from 1847 to 1848. Irwin was a practising Anglican, a key figure in the development of Western Australia as a colony, who also helped to establish the General Board of Education. Irwin was also responsible for bringing the first missionary to Western Australian shores. The Meadow Springs Campus opened in February 1991 with 175 students and now has over 1650 students from Kindergarten to Year 12. The Meadow Springs Campus school grounds and facilities have developed considerably since foundation, with the most recent additions of the Year 7 Transition Centre and the Rush Chapel, which was completed in July 2016. Since its inception, the School has aimed continually to provide excellent facilities to further student academic, athletic and cultural opportunities for its students. 2011 saw the foundation Principal, Mr Geoffrey Arnold, hand the School over to its second Principal, Ms Kerry Robertson, to continue and grow the School into the 21st Century. In 2018, Frederick Irwin Anglican School (with the Anglican Schools Commission Inc.) opened the Halls Head Campus, allowing the intake of more primary students across two campuses within the Mandurah community.
