A history of service

Christ Church Grammar School, WA

Christ Church Grammar School is committed to building a culture of empowerment and a strong commitment to service among its students.

A number of students participate in the Service in Action program in which they travel to remote regional areas and work as teachers’ aids in classrooms. There are also numerous student-led charity initiatives for various not-forprofit organisations. The relationship between the School’s values of Care and Compassion, Respect, Integrity and Excellence and its longstanding relationship with Anglicare WA is palpable.

In recent years, students, staff, and the wider Christ Church community have been involved in numerous Anglicare initiatives, including the School Sleep Out for Youth Homelessness and the Christmas Appeal. The School has a series of events that it conducts with all proceeds going to Anglicare. These events include the Prefect Push and an initiative titled ‘Wolsey at Work’ where students seek paid work in their community, such as walking pets, cleaning cars and mowing lawns, to connect with local community members while fundraising for Anglicare WA.

Within the School, there are dedicated Anglicare Ambassadors, who inform their classmates of upcoming programs and rally for contributions. It is not always a donation of money – sometimes goods – as with the recent Anglicare collection for personal hygiene items, such as clothing, bedding, and toiletries. The School’s Anglicare
