Congratulations to our rowers
Celebrating a successful first term
Kooringal
Easter Service

Last Saturday the Head of the River was held at Champion Lakes, and all 12 of our rowing teams performed incredibly well. Our rowers have shown some good form throughout the intense season and Saturday was no exception. Congratulations to all rowers, coaches and parents and thank you to our wonderful supporters and members of the Don Fraser Club. You can re-live all the action of the First VIII race at the 02:30 time slot here and view the results for the entire day here.

As always, the last few weeks have been anything but slow for members of our school community. Groups of students have left for overseas tours including to the USA and Singapore, tours to the Maldives and Japan will be departing in April, the WADL Debating competition commenced and there was an excursion to Parliament House and Japanese students enjoyed an incursion dedicated to Rakugo. We also commenced work on our involvement in ANZAC Day commemorations which take place in April. Stories of these adventures and opportunities will no doubt grace the news section of our website and social media platforms in time.

Kooringal will be visited next week to survey the property following the fires in and around Dwellingup. The Kooringal team together with members of DFES did an outstanding job managing the situation last weekend.

Easter is a very important time of the year in the Christian calendar, it’s a time when we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ after his crucifixion. It’s a time of hope and I wish all families a wonderful Easter. The School’s popular Easter Service will be held on Sunday 31 March commencing at 9.30am. Reverend Nick Russell sends this special message to our community.

Please enjoy your Easter and break and we look forward to seeing everyone back on Tuesday 16 April.

School gym closure

Due to repairs on the roof, the school gym will be closed from Friday 11 to Monday 28 April.

New School Polos

A recent chat on WhatsApp regarding the School Polos raised concerns about the fabric and care of the garment. The fabric has been specifically selected for its functionality and comfort, UV protection, and mid-weight and breathable knit.

It is also Oeko-Tex certified, which means no nasty chemicals are used in the dyeing process. Sard is recommended for heavy stains, and washing inside out will promote garment longevity. We are grateful for the feedback and continue to liaise with the manufacturer to ensure our boys are comfortable and confident wearing the uniform.

Uniform Shop extended trading hours

The Uniform Shop will be operating with extended trading hours leading up to the April school holidays. Please click here for a full list of trading hours.

Please note, the Uniform Shop will not be open during the Term 1 school holidays.

Kearla Food Drive

This term, Kearla House is supporting the WA Food Bank with a Food Drive through Weeks 8 to 11. In WA, over 116,000 children live in households experiencing severe insecurity. This means these children often don’t have enough food at home to keep them healthy. These children go to school hungry, regularly miss meals and are often worried about where their next meal will come from.

Christ Church students can help by bringing non-perishable foods to school and placing them in the allocated bins over the next 4 weeks. The most wanted items include:
canned meals, canned veggies, fruit, tuna and soup, baked beans, pasta and rice, pasta sauce, oats, cereal, spreads and jams, washing products, meal bases, nappies, and toilet paper.

Kearla House and the WA Food Bank thank you for your support.

Broome Swimming Clinic

In May, Head Swimming Coach Will Greenwood and members of the CCGS Swim Team will be in Broome, conducting a swimming clinic for the locals. Christ Church has a strong aquatics program, and this clinic offers our senior swimmers the chance to develop their leadership skills while building connections in the Broome swimming community. Please refer any families and friends in the area to the booking page here.

Changes to the CCGS/MLC Southern Suburbs Bus Service

Thank you for your patience as we addressed several issues with the Southern Suburbs service this term. While Buswest has resolved some concerns, traffic congestion remains a challenge beyond our control.

From Term 2, the AM route has been adjusted with several stop changes to improve reliability. Please review the revised AM timetable and locations here. The PM route remains largely unchanged, aside from the removal of two stops. Updated times are available via the link above, and an interactive map is available here.

Due to ongoing Fremantle Traffic Bridge works, we encourage families to consider the train as a reliable alternative to ensure timely arrival at school.

Students arriving before 8.00am will be supervised:
- Preparatory School: White umbrellas/undercover area
- Senior School: Academic Resource Centre from 7.45am
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to prioritise the safe and timely arrival of students.

A recent chat on WhatsApp regarding the School Polos raised concerns about the fabric and care of the garment. The fabric has been specifically selected for its functionality and comfort, UV protection, and mid-weight and breathable knit.

It is also Oeko-Tex certified, which means no nasty chemicals are used in the dyeing process. Sard is recommended for heavy stains, and washing inside out will promote garment longevity. We are grateful for the feedback and continue to liaise with the manufacturer to ensure our boys are comfortable and confident wearing the uniform.

Kearla Food Drive

This term, Kearla House is supporting the WA Food Bank with a Food Drive through Weeks 8 to 11. In WA, over 116,000 children live in households experiencing severe insecurity.

These children go to school hungry, regularly miss meals and are often worried about where their next meal will come from.

Christ Church students can help by bringing non-perishable foods to school and placing them in the allocated bins over the next 4 weeks. The most wanted items include:
canned meals, canned veggies, fruit, tuna and soup, baked beans, pasta and rice, pasta sauce, oats, cereal, spreads and jams, washing products, meal bases, nappies, and toilet paper.

Kearla House and the WA Food Bank thank you for your support.

Changes to the CCGS/MLC Southern Suburbs Bus Service

Thank you for your patience as we addressed several issues with the Southern Suburbs service this term. While Buswest has resolved some concerns, traffic congestion remains a challenge beyond our control.

From Term 2, the AM route has been adjusted with several stop changes to improve reliability. Please review the revised AM timetable and locations here. The PM route remains largely unchanged, aside from the removal of two stops. Updated times are available via the link above, and an interactive map is available here.

Due to ongoing Fremantle Traffic Bridge works, we encourage families to consider the train as a reliable alternative to ensure timely arrival at school.

Students arriving before 8.00am will be supervised:
- Preparatory School: White umbrellas/undercover area
- Senior School: Academic Resource Centre from 7.45am
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to prioritise the safe and timely arrival of students.

Changes to the CCGS/MLC Southern Suburbs Bus Service

Thank you for your patience as we addressed several issues with the Southern Suburbs service this term. While Buswest has resolved some concerns, traffic congestion remains a challenge beyond our control.

From Term 2, the AM route has been adjusted with several stop changes to improve reliability. Please review the revised AM timetable and locations here. The PM route remains largely unchanged, aside from the removal of two stops. Updated times are available via the link above, and an interactive map is available here.

Due to ongoing Fremantle Traffic Bridge works, we encourage families to consider the train as a reliable alternative to ensure timely arrival at school.

Students arriving before 8.00am will be supervised:
- Preparatory School: White umbrellas/undercover area
- Senior School: Academic Resource Centre from 7.45am
We appreciate your understanding as we continue to prioritise the safe and timely arrival of students.

Important Academic Dates 2025

Year 12 is a fast and frenetic year – it is very helpful if parents, as well as boys, are aware of key dates. They can be found here. Please take particular note that if your son is studying a subject with a practical exam, he must be available during the Term 3 holidays for this exam. SCSA issues these exam times and will not make alternative arrangements where the times are deemed inconvenient by parents. They also do not accede to parents’ requests for particular dates and times. In short – please do not make any plans to travel interstate or overseas with your son during the Term 3 holidays.
