Grade 9 Enriched Religion St. Benedict’s Catholic Secondary School
This course invites students to a deeper understanding of both the joy and the demands of following in the way of Christ and living out the call to discipleship as it is described in the Scriptures. Through a lens filtered by Scripture, Profession of Faith, Christian Moral Development, Prayer, Sacramental Life, and Family Life, students use the Beatitudes and 10 Commandments as a touchstone to examine the attitudes and actions that characterize the Christian life. Students will explore a variety of topics related to the themes of personhood, interpersonal relationships and sexuality. They are encouraged to understand and nurture within themselves the virtues which will enable them to deepen their relationship with God in and through Christ in the context of a Spirit-filled community.
With an awareness of the uniqueness of each student and a recognition that religious development takes place through a process of stages and within a community, this is an enhanced program for interested, self-motivated student. The course curriculum will be enhanced from the HRE10 through field trips, guest speakers, school based service leadership opportunities, leadership development and enhanced scripture exploration.
