Religious Education
At St Patrick’s, Religious Education is based on the Sandhurst Curriculum Religious Education Framework which is called “Source of Life” and is a vital part of the child’s education. Religious Education topics are related to the child’s life experiences. With careful guidance, the children are led to new insights about life, living and faith. We joyfully celebrate our faith together through prayer, liturgy and sacraments.
About Source of Life
Religious Education is a lifelong process to which Catholic schooling contributes. Its aims are to:
- foster an encounter with the risen Christ;
- create opportunities for each individual to grow in understanding of, and relationship with, Christ who reveals God;
- assist individuals to know and celebrate the Catholic faith Tradition, to appreciate the faith traditions of others, and to grow in literacy in faith;
- provide opportunities for individuals to search, experience, participate, question, critique and dialogue on matters of faith and meaning with the view of growing in the art of discernment;
- provide opportunities for individuals to participate in the life and rituals of the Catholic community, where faith is celebrated, proclaimed, nourished and communicated to others;
- guide individuals to interpret the contemporary culture in the light of Catholic Tradition and become transforming agents in the world; and
- encounter, learn from, share and engage with Aboriginal Spirituality, diverse histories and cultures.
In responding to the ‘signs of the times’ and the mission of reconciliation, it is the intention of this curriculum to:
- be faithful to the Tradition of the Catholic Church while drawing on the richness of contemporary theology
- belong within the culture of the school, working in harmony with home and parish
- be inclusive in that it respects and responds to differences in culture, background and experiences
- employ effective strategies of teaching and learning, especially those that can most engage students in reflective exploration of Catholic teaching, culture and worship
- be organised within a sequential F-12 framework, supported by appropriate policies and programs
