Scholarships

Each year, Christ Church offers a variety of scholarships including academic, music, drama, boarding, general excellence, philanthropic, Old Boys’ Association (OBA) Education Fund 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) and Philanthropic (Year 7) scholarships are not required to sit the scholarship examination.

Scholarship examination: applies only to boys submitting an application for Year 7 Council Entrance (academic), OBA Education Fund, Regional Residential (boarding), drama and music scholarships. The examination is held at the School on a set date in May each year. 

Apply online: Academic Assessment Services (AAS) manages the Christ Church scholarship program. The cost of application (payable to AAS) is $110.  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 takes up to 30 minutes or more to finish and can be revisited and amended once the application fee has been paid and password access is emailed to you. It is very important to answer the questions as comprehensively as possible. Applications close approximately three weeks prior to the examination.

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.
