Teaching and Learning at Christ the King School is centred around Brisbane Catholic Education's Learning and Teaching Framework. This framework epitomises the values and beliefs central to learning within our Catholic Christian Community. We educate all to live the gospel of Jesus Christ as successful, creative and confident, active and informed learners, empowered to shape and enrich our world.
Our delivery of learning is also grounded in the Alice Springs (Mparntwe) Education Declaration and is mindful of the declaration's goals. In alignment with the declaration, which promotes excellence and equity, we support students in achieving high standards and provide structures and adjusted strategies that enable equitable learning experiences.

Learning Environment
Our learning environment is based on the charism of Nano Nagle in which we value compassion, faith, respect, hospitality, simplicity, justice and the daily living of Gospel values. We value every child as a learner and understand that all children learn in different ways and at different rates.
The school community understands that learning is about progressing from 'what I know, to where I need to go next' and that learners will experience success as a result of challenge, feedback and goal setting. We believe we must be respectful of the rights, feelings and beliefs of others and it is our responsibility to assist everyone in our community to be the best that they can be.
