Christ the Priest has a number of well established outdoor play spaces, 21 classes and a multi-purpose hall with kitchen facilities.

Two portable classroom have been custom renovated to accommodate our before and after school care service. The provider of this service is MACSEYE, operating from 7am in the morning, until 6.30pm in the evening.
We have a wide-ranging cultural mix of national cultures represented and celebrated. Community is important at CtP and relationships are promoted and celebrated through positive interaction with students, teachers, parents and the parish.
At CtP we have a love of learning, across curriculum areas including English, Maths, Religious Education, Integrated Studies, Physical Education, Music, Drama, LOTE, Digital Technologies and Visual Arts. It is our hope that everyone can find their niche at CtP. Children are actively encouraged to develop to their fullest potential.
All at Christ the Priest Primary School believe that children have the right to feel safe and be safe. Our staff ensures that all students receive the highest possible standard of care and protection at all times.

Principal's Message
Here at Christ the Priest Primary School, the school values are: Service, Mercy & Thanksgiving which were launched with the new school vision and mission developed in 2019. These values are at the centre of all our faith and our expectations. We work towards these values being evident in all areas of the school.
We utilise a Positive Behaviour Learning approach to behaviour management, which are supported by our STAR (Safe, Team Work, Achiever and Respect) expectations through specialised lesson plans to make explicit behavioural expectations.
We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and welcoming faith community. CtP is part of the St Catherine of Siena Parish and enjoys a strong relationship with our wider Catholic community.
I firmly believe each and every one of our students has a variety of rich talents, gifts and interests. By nurturing these in a stimulating, supportive environment, we hope all of our students finish their journey at CtP equipped with the skills to continue as lifelong learners who actively contribute and flourish in society.
If you wish to talk to me further about any areas related to our school, please contact me via the school contacts page on our school website.
I look forward to this opportunity.
Adele Vesty – Principal
