International Students
We welcome international students at Christ Church. Many of the boys applying for full fee overseas positions at the School have been recommended by, or are sons of, former students therefore the School does not require the services of overseas agents. The application fee for full fee overseas students is $300.
Square Of Care
Four members of staff are primarily responsible for a boarder’s welfare – the Director of the Residential Community, his Year Group Co-ordinator, his Head of House and his Tutor. Together these four people form the boy’s Square of Care. Boarders are allocated to one of the eight School Houses for the school day and for all inter-house competitions. Here they have the opportunity to form close friendships with day boys in their Tutorials and Houses.
News at the Residential Community
Boarding provides a warm and nurturing educational environment for the boys as they move through their adolescent years. They enjoy the company of their peers and treasure the friendships they develop – friendships that often last a lifetime.
Food at the Residential Community
Colin Harrison is the catering manager at Christ Church Grammar School. He is currently responsible for eight staff members, including chefs, kitchen hands, waitresses and what he terms “multi skilled workers”, who undertake a wide range of tasks. The catering team serves food to the Residential Community and assists with various functions including end of season sport lunches and Cadet, Year 12 and House dinners.
