As we conclude week 7, the first unit of the RE Curriculum is drawing to a close. The students in Years 7 to Years 10 are moving onto unit 2.
Below is a list of the units and a description.
If you have any questions please let contact me here at the College.

Yr 7 - Ways of Praying

Course Specific Requirements:  Prayer is an essential means through which individuals and the Christian community deepen their relationship with God. In this unit, students will explore a range of prayer forms -personal, communal, and liturgical; and experience its different expressions, vocal prayer, meditation, and contemplative prayer. Students will also become familiar with the pattern of the Church’s liturgical year and appreciate the significance of liturgy as public worship.

Yr 8 - The Teachings of Christ

Course Specific Requirements:  In this unit, students will explore further the loving relationship between God and humanity through the particular lens of Jesus’ teaching and lived example. They will examine Jesus’ use of parables to communicate an understanding of the Kingdom of God and relate it to their own lives.

Yr 9 - Sacraments of Healing
Course Specific Requirements: The Sacraments of Healing include the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation and the Sacrament of Anointing of the Sick. This unit will address the Scriptural foundations of the Sacraments of Healing, with a focus on Jesus’ acts of healing and inclusion. Through their investigation of the Sacraments of Healing, students will consider the nature of forgiveness, and healing and suffering in the world, in their community, and in their own lives. Students will come to an understanding of the hope and restoration offered through the Sacraments of Healing
Yr 10 - The Sacraments of Service
Course Specific Requirements:  It is the universal call of all the baptised faithful to contribute their gifts to the life of the Church through their particular vocation. In this unit, students will explore how baptised persons are called to use their individual gifts in the service of God and God’s people through the Sacraments of Matrimony and Holy Orders. Students will be encouraged to develop an appreciation of the various ways in which married and ordained persons minister to the Church, witnessing Christ's love for her.
