Scholarships

Each year, Christ Church offers a variety of scholarships including academic, music, drama, boarding, general excellence, philanthropic, Old Boys’ Association* (OBA) and Indigenous. The award of a scholarship is at the discretion of the Principal, and not all scholarships are awarded each year. Applicants must be Australian permanent residents or citizens. Boys applying for ‘Building Good Men’ (Years 8 to 11), Indigenous (Years 7 to 11), Drama (Year 10) and Philanthropic (Year 7) scholarships are not required to sit the scholarship examination.

• OBA Scholarship Trustees, in consultation with the Principal, determine the successful applicants of the OBA scholarships.

Scholarship examination: applies only to boys submitting an application for Year 7 Council Entrance (academic), Regional Residential (boarding) and Music scholarships. The examination will be held at the School on Saturday 24 March 2018.

Music Auditions: will be held at the School on Saturday 7 April 2018.

Academic Assessment Services (AAS) manages the Christ Church scholarship program. The cost of application (payable to AAS) is $110. Please click here to complete the AAS application. Please note: the single application fee of $110 covers all Christ Church scholarships for which the applicant applies, however, it does not cover the cost of separate scholarship applications to other schools. The online submission involves a series of questions to be completed by a boy’s parent or guardian, and a series of questions for the boy to complete.  It is important to answer the questions as comprehensively as possible.

Closing dates: For all metro based applicants: Monday 19 March 2018 ; Overseas/Interstate/Regional: Wednesday 7 March 2018

Documentation to submit to the School

To complete your application you are required to submit the following: (mail to: Admissions Office, PO Box 399, Claremont WA 6910 OR scan to: Admissions@ccgs.wa.edu.au)

1. Scholarship cover sheet;
2. Letter from the applicant explaining his reasons for applying for a Christ Church scholarship;
3. Copy of the receipt/invoice ($110), generated by AAS, and sent to you via email;
4. Copy of the applicant’s birth certificate;
5. Copy of the applicant’s Semester 2 report (clearly identified with the applicant’s name if scanning);

Overseas, regional and interstate applicants: If the applicant lives far enough away from Christ Church, either overseas, interstate or in regional/remote Western Australia, then he may be able to sit the exam at his current school. If this is the case, AAS will advise and instruct on the procedures to be followed.

Scholarship results: The scholarship process includes an individual assessment report generated by AAS that will be posted to parents within a few weeks of the examination. At the same time, parents of successful applicants will be contacted and interviews with the Principal arranged. The scholarship process concludes by mid-June with the successful applicants being published on the school website.

Tuition fees: A scholarship recipient receives a reduction on tuition fees to varying degrees. In general, this is to the value of 50% of the normal tuition fees. However, it is worth noting that school fees at Christ Church are inclusive and comprehensive and cover many aspects of a boy’s schooling including textbooks and course materials; software and the provision of the latest ICT equipment; study skills support; camps and excursions; and school publications. Family access to the School’s gymnasium, swimming pool and library is also included.
