Year 7, 2010 Presentation

As a result of the State Government's changes to entry ages for WA schools, boys entering Year 7 from 2010 will turn 12 before 30 June of that year. As a result, the Year 7 cohort in 2010 will be approximately 6 to 9 months older than in previous years.

Christ Church has been considering how best to serve the needs of these "older" boys and has decided that from 2010 the boys will be ready to begin the second phase of their education - secondary school. This will mean that the Year 7s will be taught subjects by specialist teachers and be included in the pastoral care system as members of the Senior School. This will ensure that Christ Church is consistent with the practice in Victoria and New South Wales.

The Headmaster, Mr Garth Wynne, hosted an information evening for parents on Wednesday 31 October 2007 to discuss these changes.
