Do you have to be Catholic to go to Christ the King?
Christ the King Catholic Primary School extends a warm invitation to families from diverse cultural backgrounds. Although the school’s foundation is primarily rooted in the Catholic faith, it embraces and welcomes individuals from all belief systems and religions. We firmly believe that the tapestry of our Catholic faith grows richer when interwoven with the narratives of others. Our aspiration is to cultivate an educational environment where learning, cultural exchange, and spiritual beliefs converge harmoniously.

What size are the classes?
Christ the King is small school and we are able to offer small class sizes, ranging on average from 19 – 23.
How do we cater for students of all abilities?
Small class sizes ensures that students are both sufficiently challenged and supported. Through our ongoing use of academic data, we can confidently say that we add value to each child’s learning at both ends of the learning continuum. Students with additional learning needs are well supported by our Learning Support Officers and expert teaching staff to participate fully in the life of our school.
Students are encouraged to take responsibility and become self-directed learners through our personalised approach to learning. Our aim is to develop students to become clear thinkers who are able to question, critically evaluate and become responsible and articulate members of society.
