Education in Faith

Christ the Priest Catholic Primary has a visible Catholic symbolic culture and active sacramental and liturgical practices.

Our Vision, ethos and curriculum invite and support students to discover God’s presence in their daily lives.

We strive to challenge and support our students to understand themselves and the world in which they live through a worldview founded in Scripture and in the various traditions of the Catholic community.

We recognise that faith development is a lifelong journey and acknowledge parents as the first faith educators of their children.

Religious Education is central to our existence as a Catholic school.

It defines and underpins who we are as a Catholic community and guides us in our decisions. Our teaching content is drawn from the Religious Education Curriculum Framework, developed in the Archdiocese of Melbourne and revised in 2018.

Our Catholic faith guides us in our actions and words. The school prayer, introduced in 2020, is a prayer that unites our school in our values of Mercy, Service and Thanksgiving. In 2020,  Jenny Marshall and Michelle Spiteri collaborated to write and compose the school song, ‘Called to Be’. This song encapulates Christ in his Priesthood and the grace and glory that he showed in his mission, teaching us, once again how to live out our school values.
