Religious Education
The Religious Education course in Years 7 & 8 is concerned with furthering an appreciation of Catholic Christianity within a framework of ritual, prayer and a detailed curriculum.
The Christian tradition and Scriptures are studied from a Catholic perspective but with an awareness of Ecumenical initiatives. The life and times of Jesus are examined closely, aimed at enhancing the understanding of what it means to be a Disciple in the modern world.
