Located in Perth, Western Australia, the school's main campus overlooks Freshwater Bay on the Swan River, in the suburb of Claremont.

[8] 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.

[10] 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.

[21] Financial support from parents and old boys enabled the school to spend over $2 million on new facilities in less than three years.

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.

In 2016 Wynne was appointed to the position of Headmaster and Executive Principal of Christ's College, Christchurch, New Zealand.

At the end of 2015, Alan Jones, formerly acting headmaster/deputy headmaster of the Hutchins School in Hobart, Tasmania, was appointed to the position of principal of Christ Church.

Its Swan River frontage provides for the school's water sports program, which includes rowing and sailing.

The Claremont campus also houses the school's residential community which accommodates 110 boys from regional Western Australia, interstate and overseas.

Kooringal, meaning "home by the water" in the Aboriginal dialect of the district, was established in 1972 as a staffed and self-contained outdoor education centre for Christ Church students in Years 5 to 11.

Officially opened in 1996 by Fiona Stanley, the centre offers a program of seminars, lectures, discussion groups and a newsletter.

Throughout the year students raise funds for the program and participate in humanitarian pilgrimages to remote Indigenous Australian communities and to schools and orphanages overseas.

The company was formed in 1987 with 40 actors and 16 musicians from Christ Church Grammar School and Methodist Ladies' College.

[32] Venture is a 10-day hike for Year 10 students, which places 14 groups on walk routes through the bushland and coastal setting of Walpole Nornalup National Park.

The aim of Venture is to give Year 10 students greater focus by presenting them with real challenges where they can practice goal setting and objectives, and develop problem-solving skills in a group situation.

[6]: 295 In 2011, Christ Church established a partnership with the Leeuwin Ocean Adventure Foundation whereby every Year 8 student spends a week on board the tall ship as part of the School's outdoor education program.

On the voyage, students learn about sails, lines and nautical terms, health and safety, goal setting and teamwork, interspersed with daily tasks including morning exercises, cleaning duties (known as "Happy Hour") and the Leeuwin Olympics.

The key components of the outdoor education program at Kooringal are the promotion of community living, care for the environment and the development of resilience.

It remains a voluntary activity with a focus on leadership and self-discipline, offering students an opportunity develop confidence and a wide range of skills.

The OBA also provides funding for a number of scholarships for students of merit, who would otherwise be unable to attend Christ Church.
