Education in Faith
Living Out Our Catholic Values
At St Christopher’s Primary School, our Catholic faith, rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ, guides everything we do. Our Religious Education program follows the Religious Education Curriculum Framework, focusing on knowledge, understanding, reasoning, and personal engagement. Students explore key content areas, including Scripture, Church, prayer, and morality. The school-wide sacramental program involves the whole community, with special milestones like First Eucharist, Reconciliation, and Confirmation. We invite families to join in celebrating our faith through regular gatherings centered on themes such as Lent, Advent, and prayer.
