Religious Education

Empowering hearts and minds through the power of faith

We believe in providing opportunities for all students in our care to foster a love for learning, and strive for excellence in all aspects of their lives. This includes the underpinnings of a strong faith based foundation.
Key to this is a strong education on the Catholic faith, aimed at helping children and young adults deepen their understanding and appreciation of the Church’s teachings.

TO KNOW CHRIST,
TO LOVE LEARNING AND TO BE
THE VERY BEST WE CAN BE

Our Religious Education Program 

In the early years, our Kindergarten through Year 2 curriculum is grounded in the early learning approaches of Maria Montessori and Sofia Cavalletti, acknowledging that students are spiritual and physical beings. Through the use of concrete materials, students are given time and space to reflect on what they have learned, connecting liturgy and Scripture.

Year 3 to Year 6 syllabus provides essential components of knowledge and understanding, skills, and an appreciation of our rich Catholic tradition. A unique feature of our syllabus is the integration of Youth Ministry Principles of Connection, Proclamation, and Response.
