NAME:

Alan Jones

COMPANY:

Christ Church Grammar School

POSITION:

Principal

LOCATION:

Perth, Australia

Alan Jones remembers choking up when more than 1,000 boys rose as one to their feet and cheered. The noise was deafening in the Christ Church Grammar School (CCGS) chapel, but the school’s Principal did nothing to quell it. House of God or not.

The thunderous applause was for one of their own, a boy who attends the Peter Moyes Centre (PMC), which caters to CCGS boys with learning challenges.

“He was receiving a medal for swimming and when I presented it, he came up and hugged me,” Alan remembers. “I wasn’t quite sure what to do, but the boys knew. They got to their feet applauding and cheering, lifting the roof off the chapel. It was incredible. You’ve got to choke up with those moments.”

The scene demonstrates perfectly how diversity is celebrated in the 110-year-old school in Claremont. There are 14 boys on indigenous scholarships, more than 100 boarders from overseas or regional areas, and nestled in the heart of the Preparatory and Senior Schools is the PMC, offering boys with learning challenges, such as Down’s Syndrome or autism, a Curriculum Differentiation Plan, which nurtures independence and confidence, and sets goals for skills development.

“They are a significant part of the school and community and are inspirational in all that they do and achieve. They are key to what makes this school so unique and special.”
