Christ The King Primary School is a small Catholic School located only minutes away from the bay in Brisbane's Deception Bay area. The leafy green, bayside surrounds and gardens of the school are the perfect environment to support the students in learning about sustainability and stewardship for the Earth as well as provide fertile ground for academic and real world learning.
As a small school with just over three hundred and twenty students, we are a vibrant community and pride ourselves on truly knowing our students and families. In 2019 our school consists of thirteen classes we look forward to continuing our building program to support our growing community.
