About Corpus Christi College
基督圣体学院 (Corpus Christi College) is a private co‑educational Catholic school located on Murdoch Drive in Bateman, a suburb of Perth, Western Australia. The College provides a continuous educational pathway from early learning through to senior secondary, with a junior school section and a senior school section operating on the same campus. The location is described by the College as being close to the freeway, Transperth public transport services, and private bus routes, which supports daily travel for day students.
Corpus Christi College is one of the few co‑educational Apple Distinguished schools in Western Australia, a designation it has held since 2012. This status indicates that the College integrates Apple technology into teaching and learning in a way that meets criteria set by Apple. It does not represent a ranking against other schools, but it does signal a consistent approach to digital learning across year levels. The College also provides a bus service for students. Families considering enrolment should check directly with the College for current route details, availability, and any associated charges, as these are not detailed in the public materials reviewed for this guide.
Programmes and Learning Pathways
Corpus Christi College offers education from pre‑kindergarten through to Year 12. The early learning programme includes a three‑year‑old pre‑kindergarten option. The junior school covers Kindergarten to Year 6, and the senior school covers Years 7 to 12. The College’s structure allows students to remain within the same school community for their entire school education, moving from early childhood into primary and then secondary without changing campuses.
The curriculum in the senior years prepares students for the Western Australian Certificate of Education. As a secondary school provider, the College does not offer undergraduate degrees or vocational qualifications at tertiary level. Students who complete Year 12 at Corpus Christi College typically go on to apply to Australian universities, TAFE institutions, or other tertiary providers. The school’s Apple Distinguished status suggests that technology is embedded across subjects, but specific subject offerings, elective lines, and senior secondary course lists should be confirmed on the College’s current official pages, as these can change from year to year.
For international students who need to strengthen their academic English or adjust to the Australian curriculum before entering a mainstream secondary programme, pathway options exist outside the College. UNILINK has published a comparison of common pathway routes that may be useful when planning the transition into an Australian school. You can read more in the pathway comparison article.
Entry Requirements and How to Apply
Corpus Christi College is a non‑selective Catholic school, but admission is not automatic. The College requires families to submit an application, pay the relevant fee, and provide documentation that supports the student’s readiness for the year level applied for. The application process begins with the submission of the application form and the non‑refundable application fee. For the 2026 school year, this fee is set by the College.
After an application is received, the College assesses each case individually. The materials reviewed for this guide do not specify minimum English language test scores, academic entry benchmarks, or age cut‑off dates for each year level. International applicants should therefore treat the published general entry information as a starting point and contact the College directly for the current requirements applicable to their child’s age, nationality, and visa status. UNILINK can help you prepare a complete application package and understand what documents are typically expected, but the final decision rests with the College. For a step‑by‑step overview of what a strong international school application usually includes, see the application guide.
Where supporting documents such as academic transcripts, birth certificates, or passport copies need certified translation or notarisation, UNILINK also provides a document service guide that explains common requirements for Australian school applications.
Fees and Financial Information
The fee information below is based on the College’s published schedule for the 2026 school year. All figures are in Australian dollars and should be verified on the College’s current official fees page before making any financial commitment.
The application fee is non‑refundable. Once a place is offered and accepted, families pay a confirmation of enrolment deposit. The deposit amount varies depending on the year level of entry. These deposits are typically credited toward the first term’s tuition, but families should confirm the exact terms with the College.
The three‑year‑old pre‑kindergarten programme is charged on a per‑day basis. The total cost for this programme therefore depends on how many days per week the child attends.
Corpus Christi College offers sibling discounts for families with more than one child enrolled at the same time. The second concurrently enrolled sibling receives a tuition fee discount. The third concurrently enrolled sibling receives a higher discount. The fourth and any subsequent concurrently enrolled siblings receive a full tuition fee discount. These discounts apply to tuition fees only; families should ask the College whether the discount extends to other charges such as levies, technology fees, or extracurricular costs.
The College requires all accounts to be settled by 20 November 2026. Families should plan their payment schedules accordingly and be aware that late payment may affect the student’s continued enrolment. International families should also budget for additional costs that are not included in the published fee schedule, such as uniforms, stationery, excursions, and, where applicable, overseas student health cover and visa charges.
Campus Location and Transport
The College is situated on Murdoch Drive in Bateman, a residential suburb south of the Perth central business district. The location is described by the College as being close to the freeway, Transperth public transport services, and private bus services. This means families living in surrounding suburbs can access the school by car or public transport relatively easily. The College operates its own bus service, which may provide an additional transport option for day students. Specific bus routes, stops, and any fees for the bus service are not detailed in the sources reviewed here and should be checked directly with the College.

FAQ
Q1: Is Corpus Christi College a boarding school?
Based on the official public materials reviewed, Corpus Christi College does not describe itself as a boarding school. The College provides a bus service and is located in a residential suburb with access to public transport, which suggests it primarily serves day students. Families who require boarding should contact the College directly to confirm whether any boarding arrangements exist or whether the College can recommend nearby homestay or guardianship options.
Q2: What is the application deadline for international students?
The sources reviewed do not specify an application deadline. The College publishes a fee schedule that requires all accounts to be settled by 20 November 2026, which suggests that the enrolment process for the following year is typically finalised before that date. International applicants should submit their applications well in advance to allow time for document preparation, assessment, and, if successful, visa processing. Contact the College for the current intake timeline.
Q3: Does the College offer English language support for international students?
The public materials reviewed do not mention a dedicated English as an Additional Language programme or an intensive English centre on campus. International students whose first language is not English may need to demonstrate a level of English proficiency as part of the application, but the specific requirements are not stated in the sources. Families should ask the College directly about available language support and any recommended pathway providers.
Q4: Are there scholarships available for international students?
No scholarship information for international students appears in the official pages consulted for this guide. The fee schedule includes sibling discounts for concurrently enrolled children, but these are not scholarships. Families interested in financial assistance should contact the College’s admissions or business office to ask whether any scholarships or bursaries are open to international applicants.
Q5: Can students join mid‑year?
The sources reviewed do not state whether mid‑year intake is available. Many Australian schools accept mid‑year enrolments on a case‑by‑case basis, depending on the year level and the student’s previous schooling. If you are considering a start date outside the usual January intake, you should discuss this directly with the College’s admissions team and confirm whether the curriculum and timetable can accommodate a mid‑year entry.
