Christ The King Boys College

Australia Private Schools introduces Christ The King Boys College in Turvey Park, for all your education and learning needs.

A good school is one ordered to the authentic good of human persons. Each of our school students must be seen as a candidate for Heaven. Indeed, each must be seen as Christ in need: “Truly I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.” (cf. Mt 25:40) Our children must feel loved as individual persons. They must be guided in the training of their freedom to freely seek what is true and good. The school must be seen as a place of Catholic formation, a place of prayer and work (including rigorous academic labour and cultural endeavour). This will include, primarily, a
cultural atmosphere in which all the Christian virtues can be developed and intellectual knowledge personally and deeply imbibed — because although academic excellence is an important and necessary goal of the school, it is not sufficient.

The educational aim of the school is the critical communication of human culture and the total development of the individual, according to a specifically Christian vision of reality. Here, absolute values, including the absolute value of the individual human person, are conveyed in a life-context, stimulating the pupils to exercise their intelligence and helping them to discern true and positive cultural factors from false and destructive ones, using the teaching of Christ as their yardstick.
