Parents are the first educators of their children and have the obligation and the right to ensure an adequate education for their children, consistent with their rights and obligations, and with their beliefs and values.
Purpose of the Catholic School
The Catholic School is not simply an alternative to a Government School. It is different because it is Catholic; it must offer an authentic Catholic vision.
The Christ the King Enrolment Policy supports the Policy Statement of the Archdiocese of Melbourne Enrolment Policy, in ensuring that Catholic children are provided with an education in which faith, culture and life are brought into harmony.
