Christ Church Grammar School was founded in 1910 by the Reverend WJ McClemans. The school opened on 7 February 1910 as Christ Church Preparatory School with a single classroom and nine boys. In 1917, the school’s status was raised from a preparatory school to university junior examination level and renamed Christ Church School. In 1931, it became known as Christ Church Grammar School.
Over 1500 boys, 110 of whom are boarders, are enrolled at Christ Church. More than 1020 boys study in the Senior School (Years 7 to 12) and over 480 attend the Preparatory School (Pre-Primary to Year 6).

of Christ Church Claremont. The School opened with a single classroom and an enrolment of nine day boys.
In 1917, the status of Christ Church was raised from preparatory school to university junior examination level. During this year, the Old Boys’ Association
was established. During the same year, legislation by Synod brought Christ Church and Guildford Grammar School
under the control of one representative council. Christ Church did not have any representation on the Council until 1920, and during this time, financial difficulties put the existence of the school into jeopardy and under threat of closure by the council.
From the 1920s through to the 1940s, the school continued to grow. However, financial hardship and uncertainty continued and led to the resignation of several headmasters. When Christ Church gained its own school council in 1950, it was considered a turning point in the history of the school.
In 1951, PM Moyes
became headmaster and throughout the post-war period, Christ Church boomed. Enrolments increased from 259 in 1951, to 853 in 1966. During this period, a large number of buildings and facilities were built and two houses were purchased. A block of land, next to the Claremont campus, was acquired as well as 20 acres in Mt Claremont for use as playing fields.
The students began to experience academic and sporting success. In 1956, the school was invited to join the Public Schools’ Association
(PSA); in 1957, the school was awarded its first General Exhibition; in 1958, the school won the Head of the River race for the first time; and in 1967, Peter Edwards became the school’s first old boy to be awarded a Rhodes Scholarship
.
Moyes retired in 1981 after serving for 31 years as headmaster and was succeeded by AJ de V Hill in 1982. The next five years included significant developments in the school curriculum and system of pastoral care. The outdoor education
centre at Kooringal, near Dwellingup
, was extensively redeveloped and its courses became an essential part of each student’s education.
Financial support from parents and old boys enabled the school to spend over $2 million on new facilities in less than three years. A major appeal in 1984 yielded $850,000.
Hill served for six years as headmaster and was followed by JJS Madin in January 1988. Madin, whose leadership approach was innovative and team-based, managed the next major projects in the school’s development. These included a new science block and the redevelopment of the Senior School – a $4 million project that commenced in June 1987.
Madin resigned at the end of 2000 and in 2001, GE Wynne took over as headmaster. In his first year, the council introduced the school mission – ‘Boys educated to know, to do, to live with others and to be’ (UNESCO
1996). The school mission together with the school values, published in 2006, have shaped the culture of the school to meet the needs of today’s school community.
Under the leadership of Wynne, there has been significant development in the school’s buildings and grounds, as well as an increase in the student population and continued high levels of success across academic, sporting and co-curricular activities.

Unit was established in 1936 as an adjunct to the 44th Battalion. This affiliation ended in 1941 and efforts by staff and students led to the formation of the Senior Cadet Corp in 1942. During World War II, the cadet corp continued to grow. It was during this period that a miniature shooting range was constructed at the school and in 1947, the school’s shooting team won the Commonwealth Cup for the first time.
The cadet unit reached its peak in 1966 with over 272 cadets in three companies and a fife band. Changes in government support for school cadets during the 1970s initiated a change to more emphasis on outdoor education
. In 1988, participation in cadets was offered as a weekly activity for senior students. Prior to this, cadets was compulsory for boys in Year 10. The focus of training moved from outdoor education activities to military activities using military equipment, with weekend training conducted in military training areas.
Today, the cadet unit comprises three platoons with over 90 cadets. It remains a voluntary activity with a focus on leadership and self-discipline, offering students an opportunity develop confidence and a wide range of skills.
2011 marks the 75-year anniversary of cadets at Christ Church.
at Christ Church was introduced in 1921 in an effort “to arouse more enthusiasm in the games”. Initially, there were three Houses – Highbury, Romsey and Queenslea. In 1925, Mr R L Beatty donated the Beatty Cup for Inter-House Competition. This cup is awarded annually to the Champion House for inter-house sporting and cultural activities. The Eagling Cup is awarded annually to the house with the best scholastic achievement and was donated to the school by Mrs Eagling in 1945. Mrs Eagling taught at the Christ Church from 1942 to 1945.
Over the years, the number of houses increased to match growth in student numbers. In 2005, Headmaster Garth Wynne modified the house system, removing the two boarding houses from the system and integrating the boarding students into the remaining eight day boy houses. Today, there are eight houses in the Senior School and four in the Preparatory School. The houses are named after significant people and places within the history of the school.
. Boarding reached its peak in the 1980s when almost a quarter of the student population were boarders. Today, there are 110 boarders who live in the Walters Residential Community. The residential community at Christ Church is organised to facilitate integration between the boarders and day boys enabling boarders to be more involved in the wider school community.

Army Cadets
The Christ Church Army CadetAustralian Army Cadets
The Australian Army Cadets is a youth organisation that is involved with progressive training of youths in military and adventurous activities. The programme has more than 19,000 Army Cadets between the ages of 12½ and 19 based in 236 units around Australia...
Unit was established in 1936 as an adjunct to the 44th Battalion. This affiliation ended in 1941 and efforts by staff and students led to the formation of the Senior Cadet Corp in 1942. During World War II, the cadet corp continued to grow. It was during this period that a miniature shooting range was constructed at the school and in 1947, the school’s shooting team won the Commonwealth Cup for the first time.
The cadet unit reached its peak in 1966 with over 272 cadets in three companies and a fife band. Changes in government support for school cadets during the 1970s initiated a change to more emphasis on outdoor education
Outdoor education
Outdoor education usually refers to organized learning that takes place in the outdoors. Outdoor education programs sometimes involve residential or journey-based experiences in which students participate in a variety of adventurous challenges in the form of outdoor activities such as hiking,...
. In 1988, participation in cadets was offered as a weekly activity for senior students. Prior to this, cadets was compulsory for boys in Year 10. The focus of training moved from outdoor education activities to military activities using military equipment, with weekend training conducted in military training areas.
Today, the cadet unit comprises three platoons with over 90 cadets. It remains a voluntary activity with a focus on leadership and self-discipline, offering students an opportunity develop confidence and a wide range of skills.
2011 marks the 75-year anniversary of cadets at Christ Church.
House System
The house systemHouse system
The house system is a traditional feature of British schools, and schools in the Commonwealth. Historically, it was associated with established public schools, where a 'house' refers to a boarding house or dormitory of a boarding school...
at Christ Church was introduced in 1921 in an effort “to arouse more enthusiasm in the games”. Initially, there were three Houses – Highbury, Romsey and Queenslea. In 1925, Mr R L Beatty donated the Beatty Cup for Inter-House Competition. This cup is awarded annually to the Champion House for inter-house sporting and cultural activities. The Eagling Cup is awarded annually to the house with the best scholastic achievement and was donated to the school by Mrs Eagling in 1945. Mrs Eagling taught at the Christ Church from 1942 to 1945.
Over the years, the number of houses increased to match growth in student numbers. In 2005, Headmaster Garth Wynne modified the house system, removing the two boarding houses from the system and integrating the boarding students into the remaining eight day boy houses. Today, there are eight houses in the Senior School and four in the Preparatory School. The houses are named after significant people and places within the history of the school.

Boarding
In 1911, requests were made to Canon McClemans to take boarders. Initially, there was no boarding house and the first boarders resided with the McClemans family in the RectoryRectory
A rectory is the residence, or former residence, of a rector, most often a Christian cleric, but in some cases an academic rector or other person with that title...
. Boarding reached its peak in the 1980s when almost a quarter of the student population were boarders. Today, there are 110 boarders who live in the Walters Residential Community. The residential community at Christ Church is organised to facilitate integration between the boarders and day boys enabling boarders to be more involved in the wider school community.
Old Boys’ Association
Founded in 1917, the Old Boys’ Association (OBA) is an independent body administered by a committee of former students. The association functions to further the interests of the school, to provide support to school and student activities and to encourage social interaction between its members. The OBA also provides funding for a number of scholarships for students of merit, who would otherwise be unable to attend Christ Church. Upon leaving Christ Church, former students are invited to join the Old Boys’ Association. The OBA maintains contact with former students through the OBA e-Newsletter, social networking and regular reunions.Notable alumni
