Academic achievements in the Prep School

Excellence is a core value at our school and we love celebrating the excellence our boys demonstrate in all facets of school life. Music, drama, fine arts, sport and academics are all celebrated at Christ Church.

Academic achievement is the first amongst equals and tomorrow at Prep School Assembly 115 boys will be presented with 328 academic distinctions, high distinctions, prizes, awards, and state medals.

To put this in perspective, most competitions focus on Years 4 to 6. Our prizes awarded in Year 1 were literally the only opportunity these boys had, so from Years 2 to 6, 28% of our boys are being acknowledged for academic excellence.

That is not ‘good work,’ that is academic ‘excellence’, and every one of the prizes and awards will acknowledge an amazing achievement. Congratulations to all the boys.

Over the coming weeks we will be trialling the delivery of my CCGS World article via video, and I look forward to your feedback on this new style of communication for our weekly update.

Head of the LW Parry Preparatory School

Master Mind January Jump Start Program (Years 7 to 10 2026)

Master Mind is offering its January Jump Start Program. These group sessions aim to prepare students for the new academic year before the commencement of school in February. The subject-specific classes offer students a revision of those difficult concepts from the 2025 syllabus, which later become the foundation for the new work they will encounter in the new year. They also offer students a ‘window’ into the units they will encounter in term 1, 2026. Students in Years 7 and 9 will also be coached on how to successfully tackle their NAPLAN assessments that are scheduled for March 2026. The program also offers a six-hour Study Skills program and a six-hour Essay Writing class. More details are available on the MMA website here.
