Senior School

Christ Church is an engaging and supportive learning environment that reaches well beyond the classroom. Teachers focus on stimulating young minds, developing problem solving skills and fostering enterprise. While the School prides itself on its ability to challenge and extend students it also sets realistic expectations so that all boys experience a sense of achievement and self worth.

The Class of 2012 graduated with 178 WA Certificate of Education (WACE) externally-assessed students and 15 WACE Wholly School Assessed (WSA) students.
