Our Mission
In 2001 School Council adopted 'Boys Educated to Know, to Do, to Live with Others and to Be' (UNESCO, 1996)* as Christ Church Grammar School’s Mission. The Mission encapsulates the energy, diversity and rigour of the School’s program whilst highlighting the importance of community and the spiritual side of humanity. It is simple, all encompassing and engaging and, like our Motto, 'Deus Dux Doctrina Lux' (God is our leader, Learning is our light), underpins all that we do at Christ Church.
Vision
A community creating a just and sustainable world for all.
Values
The School’s core values are underpinned by the teachings of the Anglican Church and support and reflect the Australian Government’s National Framework for Values Education in Australian Schools (2005) and the shared values of the West Australian Curriculum Framework (1998). Our values give meaning and purpose to our lives. They guide us as we strive to achieve our Vision and our Mission.
