Centenary 2010
Christ Church Grammar School will celebrate its Centenary in 2010 and planning has now started to celebrate this unique event.
From its modest start in 1910 with nine students and one classroom, Christ Church is now recognised as one of Australia’s leading boys schools. The Centenary Year will be a time to celebrate not only this wonderful achievement, but also the contribution the School has made to the lives of so many individuals and to the wider community.
The centenary celebrations will involve students, old boys, staff, parents and the many members of the School Community. You are invited to join us…

The School History
This new book will cover the full century of Christ Church’s history in a narrative and engaging style that will have an appeal not only to Old Boys and the Christ Church community but also to the wider public. It will be an original fully researched work. Wendy Hillman (previously Director of Community Relations) has been appointed to the role of School Historian with responsibility for authoring a history of the School. Distinguished historian Dr Peter Edwards AM, who attended Christ Church from 1950-62 and who was Captain of School in 1962 and the School’s first Rhodes Scholar (1967), will oversee the project.
