RELIGION CURRICULUM P-12 UPDATE
We aspire to educate and form students who are challenged to live the gospel of Jesus Christ and who are literate in the Catholic and broader Christian tradition so that they might participate critically and authentically in faith contexts and wider society” VISION FOR RE
As a Catholic Christian community we educate all to live the gospel of Jesus Christ as successful, creative and confident, active and informed learners empowered to shape and enrich our world.” BCE LEARNING AND TEACHING
Together, we value individuals, build relationships and empower learning” St Francis College
Religious life of the school Classroom learning and teaching Two distinct and complimentary dimensions
A Catholic religion curriculum is hope filled and underpinned by the beliefs that: • All people are created in the image and likeness of God • Knowledge is life long and life wide, holistic, rational and leads to wisdom • Human beings are not the masters of creation but rather co- creators with God and therefore have a special responsibility to steward the earth and the universe Catholic beliefs that underpin the curriculum
Life is sacramental: meaning that God is experienced in the everyday, in people, in nature and in the world and therefore there is no such thing as a secular subject in a Catholic school. • The role of a teacher is one of transformation. • Teach, challenge, transform Catholic beliefs that underpin the curriculum
Not catechetical • Uses non- presumptive language • Uses a questioning pedagogy Reconceptualist approach
