In 1917, the school’s status was raised from a preparatory school to university junior examination level and renamed Christ Church School. In 1931, it became known as Christ Church Grammar School.

Over 1500 boys, 110 of whom are boarders, are enrolled at Christ Church. More than 1020 boys study in the Senior School (Years 7 to 12) and over 480 attend the Preparatory School (Pre-Primary to Year 6).

As a non-selective school, Christ Church caters for a wide range of boys from those who are academically gifted through to students with learning challenges. It also offers places to overseas students.

Famous quotes containing the words christ, church, grammar and/or school:

    Odour of blood when Christ was slain
    Made all Platonic tolerance vain
    And vain all Doric discipline.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I do not believe in the creed professed by the Jewish Church, by the Roman Church, by the Greek Church, by the Turkish Church, by the Protestant Church, nor by any church that I know of. My own mind is my own church.
    Thomas Paine (1737–1809)

    I went to a very militantly Republican grammar school and, under its influence, began to revolt against the Establishment, on the simple rule of thumb, highly satisfying to a ten-year-old, that Irish equals good, English equals bad.
    Bernadette Devlin (b. 1947)

    For millions of men and women, the church has been the hospital for the soul, the school for the mind and the safe depository for moral ideas.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
