McClemans. The school opened on 7 February 1910 as Christ Church Preparatory School with a single classroom and nine boys.〔Some sources say 16 pupils〕 In 1917, the school's status was raised from a preparatory school to university junior examination level and renamed Christ Church School.〔Edwards P & Hillman W (2010). ''A School with a View: A Centenary History of Christ Church Grammar School, Perth 1910–2010'' p. 35. Claremont: Christ Church Grammar School〕 In 1931, it became known as Christ Church Grammar School.〔The Mitre Vol. X, No 2, August 1931, P3〕 Over 1600 boys, 110 of whom are boarders, are enrolled at Christ Church. More than 1100 boys study in the Senior School (Years 7 to 12) and over 500 attend the Preparatory School (Pre-Primary to Year 6).〔My School, accessed 9 April 2014 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. == History == Christ Church Grammar School opened on 7 February 1910 as the Christ Church Preparatory School.〔Year Book for 1910, Diocese of Perth, WA, p. 56, Perth Diocesan Archives〕 The founder, Canon W J McClemans, was the rector of Christ Church Claremont. The School opened with a single classroom and an enrolment of nine-day boys.〔Some sources say 16〕 In 1917, the status of Christ Church was raised from preparatory school to university junior examination level and renamed Christ Church School.〔Diocesan Trustees Minutes 13 July 1917, Perth Diocesan Archives〕 During this year, the Old Boys' Association was established and legislation by Synod brought Christ Church and Guildford Grammar School under the control of one representative council. Christ Church did not have any representation on the Council until 1920,〔Diocesan Trustees Minutes 18 September 1917 Perth Diocesan Archives〕 and during this time, financial difficulties put the existence of the school into jeopardy and under threat of closure by the council.〔Council of the Church of England Synod Minutes, 22 August 1921, Perth Diocesan Archives〕 From the 1920s through to the 1940s, the school continued to grow. However, financial hardship and uncertainty continued and led to the resignation of several headmasters. When Christ Church gained its own school council in 1950,〔The Mitre Vol. XIII. No 2. December 1950, p.6〕 it was considered a turning point in the history of the school. In 1951, PM Moyes became headmaster and throughout the post-war period, Christ Church boomed. Enrolments increased from 259 in 1951, to 853 in 1966.〔The Chronicle No 1. February 1967, P. 1〕 During this period, a large number of buildings and facilities were built and two houses were purchased. A block of land, next to the Claremont campus, was acquired as well as 20 acres in Mt Claremont for use as playing fields.〔The Chronicle, No. 2., July 1967, P. 2〕 The students began to experience academic and sporting success. In 1956, the school was invited to join the Public Schools' Association (PSA);〔) The West Australian, 1 November 1956, p. 1〕 in 1957, the school was awarded its first General Exhibition;〔The Mitre Vol. XVI, No. 1, December 1958, p. 7〕 in 1958, the school won the Head of the River race for the first time;〔The West Australian, 28 April 1958, p. 26〕 and in 1967, Peter Edwards became the school's first old boy to be awarded a Rhodes Scholarship.〔Mitre, Vol. XVIII, No. 3, June 1967, p. 3〕 Moyes retired in 1981 after serving for 31 years as headmaster and was succeeded by AJ de V Hill in 1982.〔Christ Church Community Notice, JH Lord, 'Appointment of the New Headmaster', 31 January 1981, Christ Church Grammar School Archives〕 The next five years included significant developments in the school curriculum and system of pastoral care. The outdoor education centre at Kooringal, near Dwellingup, was extensively redeveloped and its courses became an essential part of each student's education.〔Hill, Annual Report, December 1983, Christ Church Grammar School Archives〕 Financial support from parents and old boys enabled the school to spend over $2 million on new facilities in less than three years. A major appeal in 1984 yielded $800,000.〔Mitre, Vol. XX, Number 6, 1984, p. 8〕 Hill served for six years as headmaster (before leaving to become Headmaster of Sydney Grammar School) and was followed by JJS Madin in January 1988. Madin, whose leadership approach was innovative and team-based, managed the next major projects in the school's development. These included a new science block and the redevelopment of the Senior School – a $4 million project that commenced in June 1987.〔The Mitre (2000). P. 14〕 Madin resigned at the end of 2000 and in 2001, GE Wynne took over as headmaster. In his first year, the council introduced the school mission – 'Boys educated to know, to do, to live with others and to be' (UNESCO 1996). The school mission together with the school values, published in 2006.〔Edwards P & Hillman W (2010). A School with a View: A Centenary History of Christ Church Grammar School, Perth 1910–2010. Claremont: Christ Church Grammar School, P. 329〕 Under the leadership of Wynne, there has been significant development in the school’s buildings and grounds, as well as an increase in the student population. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Christ Church Grammar School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
