Religious Education
Religious Education awakens all disciplines of learning to their deep potential, because it intentionally articulates the connectedness of the human person with the whole of reality, human and divine.
It lies at the heart of the curriculum of Catholic Schools, synthesising, enriching and complementing the learning experiences of students. At its best, religious education sets out to inform, form and transform learners and teachers by engaging them with the intellectual, ethical and spiritual richness of the Catholic tradition.
Religious education invites and enables a life-long journey of awakening to the deep meaning of human life and community, of the world we inhabit and sustain, and of our cultural and religious heritage, against the horizon of the Reign of God enfleshed in the mission and person of Jesus Christ, and communicated in the Church.
