RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

All students take part in Religious Education Programs. The school also provides other opportunities for students to express and deepen their Faith through school Masses, liturgies, prayer and in Christian service and witness within their school environment and the wider community. Religious Education follows a curriculum set and approved by the Bishop of the Diocese in conjunction with the Catholic Education Office.

This term in Religious Education, students in Amaroo Blue will learn about: 

The Good Samaritan - Students will listen, view and respond to the story of The Good Samaritan and reflect on how they can be good neighbours. 

Created by God: A Gift to Share - In this unit students will learn that they are created in the image and likeness of God and loved by God. The students will come to appreciate that they have been created by God to be free and creative and to engage with all of creation. The unit introduces the second story of creation in the Book of Genesis, which speaks of the creative free act of God, an outpouring of divine love and goodness, in which we are called to share.

Lent: A time for reaching out in Love - In this unit the students will explore Lent as a time of renewal. The unit examines the season of Lent as a time to reflect on ways we can change and follow Jesus more closely through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. In the Gospels we learn how Jesus gave himself for others. The unit concludes by providing students with the opportunity to reflect on the events of Holy Week, in preparation for the great celebration of the Easter Triduum and Easter season.
