The award of a scholarship is based on all-round ability, however, in order to assist us in understanding each boy’s academic level, applicants are required to sit a scholarship examination either at Christ Church Grammar School or if they live more than 400kms away it may be possible for them to sit the exam online at home. In this circumstance, you need to apply via the link for Remote and Interstate applications.
