Welcome to our website....

Christ the King School is a community where individuals are encouraged to express themselves; where the teachings of Jesus Christ are embraced with enthusiasm and used as guidelines for living together in family and wider society; where love and zest for learning are fostered, where all members feel welcome, respected and safe.

Christ the King School is part of a dynamic group of schools in one of the fastest growing areas of Australia.  As part of St Eugene’s Parish, Burpengary, we have direct access to St Eugene College, a newly opened Catholic college only 10 minutes away. 

Our school has new classrooms, library, admin block and hall and is equipped with the latest resources and technology.  By far, our greatest asset is the outstanding staff who, together with parents, create a close family atmosphere in a small school setting.  Our learning support programme and network of specialist teachers and school officers ensure that each child’s individual needs are catered for. Our community is made up of people from varied social and religious backgrounds.  We provide an inclusive Catholic learning programme for everyone.

WALK SAFELY TO SCHOOL DAY -
WE’RE TAKING IT IN OUR STRIDE ON FRIDAY, 18 MAY 2012
Well it’s that time of year again when our school seriously starts talking about walking!  Walk Safely to School Day asks that we all consider our transport habits and try to incorporate more walking as part of a healthy, active way to get around. And although walking all the way to school isn’t realistic for many of us, it’s quite easy to figure out how you can build a walk into your family’s daily routine.

As we have in past years we are encouraging Christ the King students to walk safely to school on Friday the 18th of May.  We will have teachers waiting at three spots around Deception Bay to walk with students to school.  We are encouraging all students to join with us in promoting a healthy lifestyle.  Each group will be leaving the starting points at 7:55 am.  If you are planning on joining us please be at these points before this time.  All family members are welcome to join us! 

Starting Points

• Crn of Zammit and Park St - Zammit Oval
• Crn of Deception Bay and Park Rd –
  On the grassy knoll near the bus stop next to McDonalds
• Maine Tce – Outside Centrelink

The Redcliffe Herald will be coming to cover how Christ the King is highlighting this day. If you do not wish your child to be photographed please let the office know.

WOOLWORTHS EARN AND LEARN
Woolworths Earn and Learn is back on again. If you or any of your family or friends shop at Woolworths please collect the stickers and send them in as last year we received well over $1,000 worth of equipment for our students  See the latest newsletter for more information.

SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR
To celebrate the National Year of Reading 2012 our school is hosting a Scholastic Book Fair. We would love you to come during the week anytime during school hours to view the fantastic range of books available to buy. All books will be displayed in our school library.

The more a child reads, the stronger reader he or she becomes. Strong reading skills are essential to a child’s success in school and life. Our Book Fair encourages this success by offering students access to great books at affordable prices. Children are more likely to read books they personally choose. The wide variety of choices offered at our Book Fair ensures that there will be something for everyone!

Please join us to make this Book Fair the BEST our school has ever seen. By buying books from our Book Fair the school receives 30% commission when $1000 in book sales have been reached.

If you can volunteer any time during the week please contact Carmel on 0413 446 932

WANTED - ROCKS AND PLANTS
The vegetable and prayer gardens are coming along well and the students are enjoying both areas.  A huge thank-you to Leona who has provided many plant cuttings for the prayer garden. To continue improving the grounds, we are in desperate need of rocks to create borders around some of the other very sad looking gardens. We would also appreciate cuttings of any ginger plants or ground covers that people may have in their gardens. Please see Debbie or Anna in Gold Class or Duncan at the office.
