Religious Education

We offer a Catholic Education which is based on Catholic Tradition, Gospel values, and child-centred pedagogy. Children engage in daily prayer, special liturgies, celebration of Mass at the Parish church and in the school chapel.

Our Religious Education Curriculum identifies the Catholic school as a place where  students are offered experiences of Catholic discipleship, and suggests ways that schools can promote those experiences in everyday school life. This syllabus describes the Aims, the Objectives and the expected Outcomes of classroom religious education in the diocese of Broken Bay. It also mandates the content and the progressive teaching and learning that takes place in classroom Religious Education from Kindergarten to the completion of school education.

The modules are resource packages developed from the syllabus. They contain the expected outcomes, and provide Biblical and Catechism references to support the teaching of the topic. As well, they provide theological and education background and suggest ways contemporary pedagogy can be incorporated into the teaching of Religious Education.
