Last week, we hosted the annual Scholars’ Recital – a celebration of the exceptional musical talent across our Senior School. From classical repertoire to original compositions, the evening was a brilliant display of musicianship by all students. The recital provides a special opportunity to acknowledge our music scholarship recipients in an intimate setting with close friends and family. Congratulations to all performers. Highlights from the evening are being shared on our Facebook page.
At today’s Senior School Assembly, we were thrilled to enjoy Big Band 1’s outstanding performance of Spain by Chick Corea. Click here to watch.
Last Friday our Senior School students took part in the House Cross Country, competing in a spirited display of inter-house rivalry. Congratulations to Craigie and Queenslea, who shared the honours with a tie for the overall win.
Our Year 6 students recently returned from a very successful study tour to Canberra. I would like to acknowledge and thank our staff who accompanied our boys on this wonderful trip.
At the end of May, you will receive our Annual Giving campaign in your mailbox. It is a chance for the Christ Church community to come together in support of key initiatives that will benefit current and future generations of students. This year, we’re excited to focus on two major projects: PERFORM and the Pavilion Challenge.
PERFORM
PERFORM will be the cultural centre of our school – dedicated to every student’s personal growth. It’s a place to build the inner man, reflecting our commitment to health and wellbeing, 21st-century skills, Centre for Ethics and the performing arts.
PERFORM lays a vital foundation for your son’s lifelong skills— developing confidence, communication, critical thinking and creativity — skills that translate seamlessly from the classroom to the boardroom, the workplace, and every aspect of life. Help bring this vision to life, donate here.
Pavilion Challenge
As part of our strategic vision to centralise sport at St John’s Wood, a pavilion is necessary to provide modern amenities for students playing sport on the grounds and will serve as a gathering place for parents and friends.
Your support ensures current and future generations of students benefit from a facility that reflects the importance of sport in education and community life. This is a gift that you can be proud of long after the final whistle.
Every donation is significant and will be recognised at the official opening event — acknowledging your generous support. Please join other families, alumni and community members and donate here.

This week, we are proud to be celebrating National Boarding Week – a time to recognise and appreciate the unique experiences of our boarding students and the valuable diversity they bring to our School community. This year holds special significance as we celebrate 110 years of boarding at Christ Church. Since 1915, boarding has been a cornerstone of the School. The week has included a range of activities coordinated by Director of Boarding, Todd Harnwell. A particular highlight is this afternoon’s much-anticipated Staff vs Students basketball match – always a crowd favourite. Read more here.
