Hot d'Or

Hot d'Or (Golden Hot) was an adult film industry pornographic award, awarded annually from 1992 to 2001 in Cannes, France by the French trade journal Hot Vidéo.

Overview
The awards have been described as the porn equivalent of the Palme d'Or or the Academy Awards. The analogous American honor is the AVN Award. The inaugural event was held over two weeks in May in a hotel complex, at exactly the same time as the Cannes Film Festival. Venues included the Royal Casino Hotel, situated five miles from the Croisette. In 1997, the event was held at the Lido in Paris.

The Hot d'Or was noted for the lavish parties that accompanied it, particularly those held by Private Media Group on board a yacht in Cannes marina. The event attracted many performers, paparazzi, directors, and producers and distributors who would make deals buying and selling films. The event would often court publicity by having porn stars pose naked on the public beach. Consequently, it attracted attention from international media who were in town for the mainstream festival.

The highest award given was the Hot d'Or d'honneur, which was awarded to figures including Estelle Desanges, Marc Dorcel, Julia Channel, John Stagliano, Internet Entertainment Group and Ona Zee.

20th anniversary
After an eight-year absence, the awards returned to Paris on October 20, 2009 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Hot Vidéo magazine. They were held at Salle Wagram at the art deco Radisson Hotel, and French pop star Helmut Fritz performed at the show. French television giant Canal Plus had the rights to broadcast the show during their late-night block of adult programming.

Reception and review
Hot d'Ors presence was not particularly welcomed by the Cannes Film Festival or Cannes city officials. In 1998 (when the awards were again held in Cannes), Steve Vlottes of Wicked Pictures said the awards were: "the most important show that we attend".

Governance of the University of St Andrews

Governance of the University of St Andrews is laid down in a series of Acts of Parliament (the Universities (Scotland) Acts) enacted between 1858 and 1966, and the Higher Education Governance (Scotland) Act 2016.

In common with the other ancient universities of Scotland, there are three bodies responsible for governance, as determined by the Universities (Scotland) Act 1858. This Act created three bodies: the General Council, University Court and Academic Senate (Senatus Academicus).

The General Council, chaired by the Chancellor, represents the interests of all staff and graduates of the University and has an advisory role, but the Principal and University Court are required to present an annual report to the General Council. The University Court, chaired by the Rector, is the de jure and de facto supreme governing body of the University with the authority to appoint the Principal, and the power to overrule the Senatus Academicus. The Senatus Academicus, chaired by the Principal, is charged with determining the programmes of teaching for the students and deciding on the regulations for awarding degrees. The Senatus Academicus has de facto responsibility for student discipline, subject to the appellate jurisdiction of the Court.

General Council
The General Council is a standing advisory body of all graduates, academics and former academics of the University. It meets twice a year and appoints a Business Committee to transact business between those meetings. Its most important functions are appointing two Assessors to the University Court and electing the University Chancellor.

Remit and jurisdiction
The University Court was established by the Universities (Scotland) Act 1858 as the supreme governing body of the University, in effect the University's board of directors, which has responsibility for the finances and administration of the University. The University Court has the power to overturn decisions made by the Senatus Academicus and all the academic staff of the University are de jure appointed by the Court, but de facto such decisions are made by the Principal and the Academic Council.

Membership
At its creation, the Court had a small membership representing the Chancellor, Rector, Principal and Senate, but with the Universities (Scotland) Act 1966, non-professorial staff were added to the Court. The Court maintains a significant majority of members drawn from within, or appointed by those within, the University community itself. The only person appointed from outside the University is the Assessor of the Provost of Fife Council. Six of the eight co-opted members could come from beyond the University community.

The Court is chaired by the Rector who is elected by all the matriculated students of the University and is the ordinary president of the Court.

The membership of the Court was set by Court Ordinance No. 121 of May 2002 (as approved by the Privy Council of the United Kingdom) which is:
 * the Rector (elected by matriculated students, and is President of the Court)
 * the Principal, ex officio
 * the Senior Vice Principal, ex officio
 * the Chancellor's Assessor (nominated by the Chancellor)
 * the Rector's Assessor (nominated by the Rector)
 * the Provost of Fife's Assessor (nominated by the Provost of Fife Council)
 * two assessors elected by the General Council
 * four Academic Senate assessors
 * a non-teaching staff member (elected by and from this constituency)
 * the President of the Students' Association, ex officio
 * the Director of Education of the Students' Association, ex officio
 * eight persons co-opted by the Court (to include at least two alumni)

Rector
The Rector of the University of St Andrews is the ordinary president of the University Court and is chosen every three years by the matriculated students of the University. The office of Rector was created by the Parliament of the United Kingdom when it passed the Universities (Scotland) Act 1858, which regulated academic governance and provided for the election of a Rector at all of the universities in existence at the time in Scotland. To this day it is only the four ancient universities of Scotland: University of St Andrews, University of Glasgow, University of Aberdeen, and University of Edinburgh, as well as the University of Dundee, that elect a rector, whereas modern universities do not.

Senior Governor
The University created the position of Senior Governor to undertake the other responsibilities of a Chairman of a Board, to ensure that the Court fulfils its responsibility of superintending the Universities officials, and enabling the effective functioning of the Court's committee. The Senior Governor is selected by the Court from among its lay members (those members who come from outside the University community.) In 2016, the Scottish Parliament mandated that a senior lay member be appointed for the governing body of, in Section 1 of the Higher Education Governance (Scotland) Act 2016. At the same time, the 2016 Act affirmed the continued position of Rector as President of the Court.

The Rector, when present, will preside over meetings of the Court but may not otherwise normally be involved in Court business in the way that a company chairman might be. They have a more active role in the business of court. They have become de jure the working President of the Court.

the Senior Governor is Dame Anne Pringle, who was appointed in August 2016 and is an alumna of the University.

Remit and jurisdiction
The Senatus Academicus is the supreme academic body under the presidency of the University Principal. It consists of all professors, deans of faculties, heads of school, a number of elected non-professorial members of staff, and four student members. Another function of the Senate is the discipline of students. Under the Sponsio Academica the Senate has the power to expel a student should they bring the University into disrepute. However, the full Senatus Academicus has not met as a governing body since 1995, with only ceremonial meetings taking place, such as graduation. Much of the Senate's business is delegated to a smaller body, the Academic Council.

Principal's Office
The Principal of the University of St Andrews is the chief executive of the University and is assisted in that role by several key officers. The Principal is analogous to a Vice-chancellor in England or a President of an American university.

, the members of the Principal's Office were:

 * Principal: Professor Sally Mapstone
 * Master of the United College: Professor Garry Taylor
 * Quaestor and Factor: Derek Watson
 * Vice-Principal Education (Proctor): Professor Phil Hibbert
 * Vice-Principal (Governance): Alastair Merrill
 * Vice-Principal (International Strategy and External Relations): Professor Brad MacKay
 * Vice-Principal (Research and Innovation): Professor Derek Woollins
 * Assistant Vice-Principal (Collections and Digital Content): Dr Katie Stevenson

Faculties
The University is divided into four Faculties – Arts, Divinity, Science, and Medicine. Each one is governed by a Faculty Council comprising all permanent members of academic staff in each school in the Faculty (members of cross-faculty schools may attend either or both Faculty Councils). These Faculty Councils, in association with the Senatus Academicus, are ultimately responsible inter alia for the approval of new undergraduate and postgraduate courses and for overseeing the monitoring of the progress of students. The Deans of Faculties and other faculty officers, including those responsible for postgraduate matters, are elected by the Faculty Councils.

The Faculty Councils meet once annually, towards the end of each academic year.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment Committee
The routine business of the Faculties is conducted throughout the year by the Teaching, Learning and Assessment (TLA) Committee, a standing committee reporting to the Senate, and by the Faculty Business Committees. The Faculty Business Committees, comprising the Faculty officers and any other co-opted members, meet in advance of each TLA committee to dispatch routine affairs and review issues arising from the implementation of policy or course proposals, highlighting issues that may need discussion in the wider forum of the TLA.

Planning and Resources Committee
The Planning and Resources Committee is a joint committee of both the University Court and the Senatus Academicus and attempts to bring a unified approach to both academic and financial planning. The Planning and Resources Committee has student representation with the President and Director of Education of the University of St Andrews Students' Association.

Students' Representative Council
Students are represented by the statutory students' representative council, which was instituted by the Universities (Scotland) Act 1889 The Students' Representative Council is currently part of University of St Andrews Students' Association, and has representatives elected from undergraduate and postgraduate students.

Election of Rector
All matriculated students of the University have the right to vote in the election of the Rector, who holds office for a three-year period, and is President of the University Court. The Rector appoints the Rector's Assessor who is also a member of the University Court, and since 1970 the Rector has appointed a student as Assessor. The Rector's Assessor is a member of the Students' Representative Council, and the Rector's Assessor was Dylan Bruce. The President and Director of Education of the Students' Association are members of the University Court.

University committees and councils
The President, Arts & Divinity Faculty President, Science & Medicine Faculty President, and the Postgraduate Academic Convenor are members of the Senatus Academicus and the Academic Council. The President of the Students' Association is a member of the Senate Business Committee, which is responsible for considering business for the Senate and Academic Council, and for establishing working groups or commissioning reports. The Students' Representative Council itself exists to represent students on all matters and is the recognised channel of communication between students and University authorities.

Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf

Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf is an ice shelf about 250 miles (400 km) long on the coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, extending from Cape Norvegia in the north to Lyddan Island and Stancomb-Wills Glacier in the south.

Discovery and naming
Parts of the ice shelf were sighted by William Speirs Bruce in 1904, Ernest Shackleton in 1915, and Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in 1930. Most of it was photographed from the air in 1951-52 by the Norwegian-British-Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) and delineated from these photos. Additional delineation of the southern and landward margins of the feature was accomplished from aerial photos taken, by the USN's Operation Deep Freeze from 1967 to 1969. The feature was named by Norway for Captain Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen, who explored the area in the late 1920s and early 1930s.

Important Bird Area
A 477 ha site on fast ice, on the northern coast of the ice shelf some 90 km south-west of Seal Bay and 140 km north-east of Cape Vestkapp, has been designated an Important Bird Area (IBA) by BirdLife International because it supports a breeding colony of about 4,000 emperor penguins, estimated from 2009 satellite imagery.

Theodore Kisiel

Theodore Joseph Kisiel (October 30, 1930 – December 25, 2021) was an American philosopher. He was Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus of philosophy at Northern Illinois University, as well as a well-known translator of and commentator on the works of Martin Heidegger.,

Work
Kisiel is known for his research on the development of Heidegger's early thought. Among his students are Gerry Stahl, Steven Crowell and Govert Schüller.

According to Kisiel, Heidegger viewed the entire history of both Eastern and Western philosophy (starting with Parmenides) as dominated by ontology, or "the metaphysics of permanent presence". Heidegger saw his work as focusing instead on the temporal, contingent, "thrown" existence of the individual.

Death
Kisiel died on December 25, 2021, at the age of 91.

Cape Norvegia

Cape Norvegia is a prominent cape on Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud Land. It marks the northeast extremity of Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf in East Antarctica, and the border point of Weddell Sea and King Haakon VII Sea. It was discovered by Commander Hjalmar Riiser-Larsen in February 1930 while on an airplane flight from the Norvegia, the ship in which the expedition was made. The cape was named by Riiser-Larsen for the ship.

Sun outage

A Sun outage, Sun transit, or Sun fade is an interruption in or distortion of geostationary satellite signals caused by interference (background noise) of the Sun when it falls directly behind a satellite which an Earth station is trying to receive data from or transmit data to. It usually occurs briefly to such satellites twice per year and such Earth stations install temporary or permanent guards to their receiving systems to prevent equipment damage.

Sun outages occur before the March equinox (in February and March) and after the September equinox (in September and October) for the Northern Hemisphere, and occur after the March equinox and before the September equinox for the Southern Hemisphere. At these times, the apparent path of the Sun across the sky takes it directly behind the line of sight between an Earth station and a satellite. The Sun radiates strongly across the entire spectrum, including the microwave frequencies used to communicate with satellites (C band, Ku band, and Ka band), so the Sun swamps the signal from the satellite. The effects of a Sun outage range from partial degradation (increase in the error rate) to the total destruction of the signal. The effect sweeps from north to south from approximately 20 February to 20 April, and from south to north from approximately 20 August to 20 October, affecting any specific location for less than 12 minutes a day for a few consecutive days.

Effect on Indian stock exchanges
In India, the BSE (Bombay Stock Exchange) and NSE (National Stock Exchange) use VSATs (Very Small Aperture Terminals) for members (e.g. stockbrokers) to connect to their trading systems. VSATs depend upon satellites for connectivity between the terminals/systems. Hence, these exchanges are, with considerable predictability, affected by the annual Sun outages. Both typically close from 11:45 to 12:30 during "Sun outages" — times vary depending on the Earth's orbit and satellites' exact locations. The interference to satellites' signals has been shown to disturb smooth transmission of data of online transactions so, for fairness, these share markets are closed for these short times each year. Trading is normally extended the same day to compensate for the lost time.

Other locations
Saint Helena suffers from island-wide loss of Internet and telecommunications connections during Sun outages because all telecommunications traffic to and from the island is carried on a single satellite link. Sun outage times are published in local newspapers.

As the majority of rural Alaska is served by satellite, population centers like Utqiaġvik, Kotzebue, and Nome suffer from this as well. Nome is the terminus of the annual Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race, and due to its timing, announcements of the finishers are often delayed during these Sun outages.

Ekström Ice Shelf

The Ekström Ice Shelf is the ice shelf lying between Sorasen Ridge and Halvfarryggen Ridge, on the Princess Martha Coast of Queen Maud Land. It was first mapped by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (NBSAE) (1949–1952), and named for Bertil Ekström, a Swedish mechanical engineer with the NBSAE, who drowned when the weasel (track-driven vehicle) he was driving plunged over the edge of Quar Ice Shelf on February 24, 1951.

The ice shelf occupies an area of 8,700 sqkm. It is 160 m thick at the edge, and rises 15 m above the sea level. Germany's Neumayer Station III is to the northeast at Atka Bay.

Early in the life of the university, it decided to have a department that studied religion in a neutral way, rather than a department that promoted Christianity. This idea is an important one that had been widely discussed across the world by Ninian Smart, who was appointed as the first Professor of Religious Studies at Lancaster. Religious Studies as mentioned above is teaching about religion in general and in a neutral academic and secular way, not promoting a particular religion. It really has nothing to do with being a secular university. All UK universities funded by the government are in effect secular. --Bduke (talk) 22:17, 3 February 2019 (UTC)

A reliable source once informed me (the reliable source being Paul Heelas) that the University of Lancaster is not allowed to have a Theology department, as it is a secular university. Does any one think this is worthy of a mention somewhere in the article? Although the university does not have a Theology department, it always got very good research ratings for its secular Religious Studies department. Vorbee (talk) 20:12, 3 February 2019 (UTC)
 * It is allowed to have one, but it chose to create a Department of Religious Studies. There is nothing to stop it setting one up.  Nothing noteworthy here and a personal memory  is not a reliable source. -Snowded TALK 09:13, 11 September 2020 (UTC)

Notable person
Professor John Shanklin at Brookhaven national laboratory in the USA is probably the most accomplished scientist to pass through Lancaster.

In fact Shanklin certainly deserves a Wiki page. Rustygecko (talk) 20:20, 10 February 2020 (UTC)

Lake Carter
I edited the sentence about the lake to make it clear that the lake was created some 60-70 years before the founding of the university. I'm not sure, however, when it was given the name Lake Carter. Certainly before I became a student there in 1971. PhilUK (talk) 20:08, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * It was named after Charles Carter the first Vice Chancellor. I am not sure whether it had a name before the university opened. I was there from the very early days just before the first students arrived. It was my first job as a University academic. --Bduke (talk) 02:07, 12 August 2023 (UTC)

Percy Gilchrist

Percy Carlyle Gilchrist FRS (27 December 1851 – 16 December 1935) was a British chemist and metallurgist.

Life
Gilchrist was born in Lyme Regis, Dorset, the son of Alexander and Anne Gilchrist and studied at Felsted and the Royal School of Mines. He caught scarlet fever from his sister and was very ill. His father then caught the disease and died in November 1861.

He is best known for his collaboration with his cousin, Sidney Gilchrist Thomas, on the Gilchrist–Thomas process, which became the standard "basic process" for making steel. This enabled the production of low-phosphorus steel from local high-phosphorus ores by changing the standard acidic process to a basic process which meant that steel became cheaply available to British industry – low phosphorus ores requiring dearer importation. He developed the process, 1875–77, together with his cousin. It involved melting pig iron in a converter similar to that used in the Bessemer process and subjecting it to prolonged blowing. The oxygen in the blast of air oxidized carbon and other impurities, and the addition of lime at this stage caused the oxides to separate out as a slag (dross) on the surface of the molten metal. A side benefit was that the phosphorus-rich slag was an agricultural fertilizer.

He or his family had him admitted to well-appointed private asylum, Holloway Sanatorium from 5 March 1899 for just under one year, then discharged into single care. Noted are "eccentricities" and his role as an inventor.

He was elected vice-president of the Iron and Steel Institute and in 1891 a Fellow of the Royal Society.

He died in 1935. He had married Nora, the daughter of L N Fitzmaurice of the Royal Navy.

Jelbart Ice Shelf

The Jelbart Ice Shelf is an ice shelf about 40 nmi wide, fronting on the coast of Queen Maud Land, Antarctica, northward of Giaever Ridge. It was mapped by Norwegian cartographers from surveys and air photos by the Norwegian–British–Swedish Antarctic Expedition (1949–1952) and named for John E. Jelbart, an Australian observer with the expedition who drowned near Maudheim Station on February 24, 1951.

Lyddan Island

Lyddan Island is an ice-covered island located at the southwestern extremity of the Riiser-Larsen Ice Shelf, separating it from the Brunt Ice Shelf, about 20 nmi off the Princess Martha Coast of Antarctica. It is about 45 nmi long and has three narrow arms in the form of a trefoil. It was discovered and plotted by W.R. MacDonald on November 5, 1967, in the course of a U.S. Navy Squadron VXE-6 reconnaissance flight over the coast in LC-130 aircraft, and was named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names for Robert H. Lyddan, Chief Topographic Engineer of the United States Geological Survey, who had been active in the planning and supervision of Antarctic mapping operations since the 1950s.

Though originally recorded as an island, later research has shown that the ground surface under the ice is below sea level, indicating that "ice rise" might be a more accurate naming.

The Armidale School

The Armidale School (abbreviated as TAS) is an independent Anglican co-educational early learning, primary and secondary day and boarding school, located in Armidale, 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, The Armidale School has a non-selective enrolment policy and currently caters for approximately 640 students, including 250 boarders from Years 6 to 12. TAS has classes of students in Pre-Kindergarten (4 years old), Junior School for children in Kindergarten to Year 5 which offers the IB Primary Years Programme, a Middle School for those in Years 6 to 8 and a Senior School from Years 9 to 12 (18 years old). In 1992, The Armidale School became the first school in Australia to provide internet access for its students.

The school is affiliated with the Association of Heads of Independent Schools of Australia (AHISA), the Junior School Heads Association of Australia (JSHAA), the Australian Boarding Schools' Association (ABSA), and is one of only three Round Square schools in the state of New South Wales. TAS is also the only member of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (AAGPS) located outside of the Sydney metropolitan area.

History
The Armidale School was founded in 1894 as a boarding school primarily for the sons of the gentry, however the origins of the school can be traced to 1838, when Patrick Grant, a magistrate at Maitland, conceived the idea of a proprietary school for boys in the Hunter Valley. This idea was taken over by prominent members of the Church of England in the northern districts of New South Wales, and 500 pounds was obtained from the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, as a result of the efforts of the first (and only) Bishop of Australia, William Grant Broughton. In 1840, a site for the school was purchased at Honeysuckle Point, in Newcastle. Nothing more came of the plan until the appointment of William Tyrrell, as the first Bishop of Newcastle in 1846. The property was passed on to Tyrrell, and in 1854 the land was resumed by the Hunter River Railway Company.

By 1877, the school had still not been established, and Bishop Tyrrell began to push the matter further. Subsequently, a plan was drawn up and land selected at Blandford, near Murrurundi. In 1881, it was determined that the plan to build the school at Blandford was unaffordable, and a suggestion was made that it should be built on the New England Tablelands at Armidale. The additional capital required, to the amount of 6,000 pounds, was raised by James Ross, Archdeacon of Armidale, and his leading laymen.

On 5 June 1891 the New England Proprietary School Limited (NEPS) was incorporated with 100-pound shares, offered at 50 pounds each, allowing each shareholder to nominate one pupil for each share purchased. The directors purchased 20 acre in Armidale in September 1891, adding to the 10 acre obtained in 1889. The foundation stone of the main building, designed by noted architect Sir John Sulman, was laid on 22 February 1893, by the Governor of New South Wales, the Rt. Hon. Victor Albert George, Earl of Jersey. The Opening Ceremony was performed by the Rt. Rev Arthur Vincent Green, Bishop of Grafton and Armidale on 15 May 1894.

The name of the company and School was changed in 1896 to The Armidale School (TAS). Also that year, TAS joined the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (GPS) in Sydney, and has remained a member ever since.

In 1950, the school site was transferred to the trustees of the Church of England Diocese of Armidale, and was administered by a School Council comprising members from the Diocese, Old Boys' Union and P&F. through to 2009.

On 1 January 2010 the school was incorporated as a company limited by guarantee under the Corporations Act with the name: The Armidale School.

In March 2015 the school announced it would commence full co-education, and began taking enrolments for Year 12 students, who would begin tuition in October 2015, and for Year 6–11 students, to begin tuition in 2016. This expanded upon an already co-educational Junior School, and was announced following a nine-week consultation process. The school started 2016 with 53 girls, including 14 boarders. By the start of 2023, girl enrolments accounted for around 43 percent of total enrolments.

Campus
The Armidale School is situated on a single 18 ha campus in Armidale, a university city on the New England Tablelands of New South Wales, midway between Sydney and Brisbane. The school features a mix of historic and modern buildings, all of which reflect design elements of the outstanding original building designed by noted architect Sir John Sulman in 1892. Other notable buildings are the 1902 Chapel, designed by Cyril Blacket, and the War Memorial Assembly Hall, which features three magnificent stained glass windows designed by Napier Waller.

The facilities of the school include the Michael Hoskins Creative Arts Centre, which incorporates a 240-seat performing arts theatre, drama classrooms and visual arts studios. The centre is used by various local and visiting performing arts organisations including as the 'home' of the Armidale Drama & Music Society. Other facilities include a heated indoor swimming pool, rifle range, cattle stud, chapel, gymnasium, library, music centre, computer rooms, climbing wall, weights room, an indoor cricket centre, several indoor and outdoor basketball courts, seven tennis courts, rugby and soccer fields, and cricket wickets.

Boarding
TAS currently has six school boarding houses, named Abbott, Croft, Dangar, Tyrrell, and White, and an as yet unnamed 64-bed girls' boarding house which opened its doors in 2018. The senior boys' boarding houses (Abbott, Croft and Tyrrell) each accommodate up to 60 students, with 10 to 15 boys in each year group. In the lower years boys are accommodated in dormitories, and as they progress through the school are moved into private study/bedrooms. Middle School boys are accommodated in White House, while Middle School girl boarders reside in Dangar House, the school's original primary school.

Co-curricular Activities
Co-curricular activities available to TAS students include: Debating and public speaking, drama, band, orchestra, choirs, art, photography, Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme, and a school Poll Hereford stud which exhibits cattle at local and regional agricultural shows. Annual theatrical productions are staged in the School's Hoskins Centre theatre; previous productions include The Addams Family (2018), Oliver! (2019), Wizard of Oz (2019), Sweeney Todd (2020), Rhinoceros (2022) and Legally Blonde (2023).

Community service
It is an expectation of TAS that all students must commit to at least 20 hours of community service per year, both in the local and wider community.

Year 8 students may volunteer for a service trip to St Christopher's orphanage in Fiji, where they participate in the upkeep and daily maintenance of the orphanage and establish friendships with the children. In the past, a similar Christian service trip has been offered to Year 10 and 11 students to Thailand, assisting at the McKean Leprosy Rehabilitation Centre and the Agape AIDS Orphanage near Chang Mai. Other service offerings have included a visit to helping indigenous boys and girls at Yipirinya School in Alice Springs, Northern Territory. Locally, for more than a decade senior TAS students have participated in a lunchtime reading and play program with the neighbouring Minimbah Primary School, an independent school in east Armidale with a predominantly Indigenous student enrolment. Other student-led initiatives include donating blood to the NSW Red Cross Blood Bank and support raising awareness for mental health most recently through not-for-profit social agency, Batyr.

Sport
The Armidale School is one of the nine members of the Athletic Association of the Great Public Schools of New South Wales (GPS) and participates in some GPS sporting competitions as well as several non-GPS or traditional sports. TAS students may participate in a variety of sports including: athletics, basketball, canoeing, cricket, cross country, hockey, mountain biking, netball, rugby union, rifle shooting, soccer, squash, rowing, swimming, tennis, triathlon, volleyball and water polo.

In April each year, the school hosts more than 40 school and club teams at the TAS Rugby Carnival, the largest primary-aged rugby carnival in Australia.

The school also holds a swimming carnival and an athletics carnival once a year, with students participating in inter-house competition. Boarding students compete for either Abbott, Croft or Tyrrell house, while day students are members of Broughton, Green or Ross houses. Broughton was originally a boarding house; Green and Ross were inaugurated in 1983 by Prince Edward, during a private visit to the school. Inter-house competitions are also held for debating, public speaking, and the creative arts.

Leadership, Service and Adventure
The Armidale School has a leadership, service and adventure program which has an emphasis on outdoor education and is designed to develop a sense of responsibility and self-confidence through activities such as abseiling, whitewater kayaking and bivouacs. Outdoor education activities in which students may participate in, include the following:

Cadets
Founded in 1898 and one of the longest-running cadet units in Australia, the TAS Cadet Unit is part of the Australian Army Cadet Corps. This activity is compulsory for students in Years 8 to 10, and is voluntary for Years 11 onwards. It involves drill and ceremonial work, and Outward Bound training. A Ceremonial Guard provides a catafalque party each year at Anzac Day and Remembrance Day services in Armidale and at school, and the TAS Cadet band operates for the annual cadet unit passing out parade.

Rural Fire Service
In 1970 TAS became the first school in NSW to offer bush firefighter training, originally as part of the service component for the school's Duke of Edinburgh Award. The school's RFS program aims to produce students who are competent in aspects of bush firefighting, and who take an active role in helping their community by obtaining a Bush Firefighting (BF) qualification. The activity is carried out in conjunction with the Dumaresq Brigade of the NSW Rural Fire Service New England Zone and at the RFS' Armidale Fire Training Centre.

Surf Life Saving
Surf life saving commenced at TAS in 1967, as a service component for the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme introduced at the school earlier that year. For the first few years, the boys did their training at Nambucca Heads, and during the 1990s, with Yamba SLSC. Currently the relationship is with Sawtell SLSC, where students spend several days during the year and then an intensive week of training and assessment in November. Students are instructed in inshore boat rescue – crewing, patient pick-ups and assessment, related signals, radio, equipment and safety; first aid – CPR; board rescues, tube rescues, patient care, patient carries, etc. This program culminates in an examination for their RLSSA Surf Life Saving Bronze Medallion.

Expeditions
As part of the school's adventure program a number of expeditions have taken place including five treks of the Kokoda Track in Papua New Guinea, the Sea to Summit cycle ride from Pambula to the peak of Mount Kosciuszko, and to Antarctica.

Other
The TAS Triple Crown was instigated in 2014 as an award given to those students who complete three adventure events during their time at the school – the 2 km Coffs Harbour Ocean Swim, the 14 km City to Surf footrace in Sydney, and the 111 km overnight Hawkesbury Canoe Classic. Other events that are recognised for the award include Tour de Rocks, a 255 km charity cycle ride from Armidale to South West Rocks. Those who complete three in the one year are awarded the Gold Triple Crown.

Round Square
TAS is a member of Round Square, an international organisation of more than 200 schools worldwide which subscribes to the philosophy of Kurt Hahn (1886–1974), a renowned educationalist, who founded the idea of experiential education through such initiatives as the Duke of Edinburgh's Award Scheme and Outward Bound. The philosophy is based on five pillars or IDEALS: Internationalism, Democracy, Environment, Adventure, Leadership and Service. The Round Square network affords member schools the opportunity to arrange local and international student and teacher exchanges on a regular basis between their schools. Students and staff also have the opportunity to participate in local and international community service projects and conferences.

Notable alumni
Alumnus of The Armidale School are referred to generally as Old Armidalians, Old Boys or Old Girls (following the introduction of co-education in 2015) and may elect to join the schools' alumni association, the Old Armidalians' Union (formerly TAS Old Boys' Union).
