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, Amaroo will study three units:
- ‘The Good Samaritan” focuses on the spiritual history and foundations of our school. As an introduction to the new school year, the students will revise the Parable of the Good Samaritan and reflect on ways they can be like the Good Samaritan in their daily lives.
- The “Baptism’ unit will explore Baptism as a way of becoming part of the Church family and sharing in the life of Christ. Students will learn about the key symbols and rituals of Baptism
Lent and Holy Week unit focuses on the season of Lent and introduces the Lenten practices of this season. The story of Zacchaeus explores the idea of ‘beginning again’; this is called repentance. The story of The Poor Widow explores the practice of ‘giving’. The unit also looks at the events of Jesus’ life that are celebrated during Holy Week.
