The School will review the successful applicant’s academic and co-curricular skills and determine a suitable and structured learning programme that encompasses the areas required to satisfy the desired outcomes of the programme.

If families are eligible for Abstudy – this benefit is paid to the School. If boys receive additional funding, such as an Indigenous Youth Leadership Programme (IYLP) scholarship, this is also paid to the School.

Christ Church is a partnership school with Madalah Limited and the Indigenous Youth Leadership Programme (IYLP), which is funded by the Federal Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations (DEEWR). In Western Australia, Madalah administers the IYLP on behalf of DEEWR. The programme offers scholarships and leadership opportunities to young indigenous Australians to study at high performing secondary schools or universities.

The School supports the programme financially. Each year, one boy carries the title of the Vines Family Indigenous Scholar, as a result of a gift to the School by Margaret and Roger Vines in 2007. Another boy carries the title of the Ashton Family Indigenous Scholar, from another gift given in 2010 by Ross and Jeannine Ashton. Christ Church is very grateful for their invaluable support and generosity. If you are interested in providing financial support for this vital scholarship programme, please contact Alumni and Philanthropy Officer Andrew Baird on 9442 1528.

The Christ Church Grammar School Indigenous Scholarship Fund is tax-deductible and provides direct support to the Indigenous Student Programme.
