RELIGIOUS EDUCATION

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION – YEAR 7

CORE SUBJECT – TWO SEMESTERS

In Religious Education the five Catholic Education Melbourne strands are covered each year in Years 710. They are: ● Scripture and Jesus ● Church and Community ● God, Religion and Life ● Sacrament, Prayer and Liturgy ● Morality and Justice

Victorian Curriculum Capability Standards are also incorporated into the units of work that the students will study, recognising that Religious Education has the ability to be of benefit across all areas of the College’s academic and faith life.

In Year 7 the topics studied include units of work on Parish and School Communities, The Season of Lent, Foundational Catholic Beliefs, The Eucharist, The Bible, Caring for Creation and Advent. Once a fortnight, students participate in tutored singing lessons to develop knowledge of liturgical and other related music. Students are offered many opportunities to develop and practice their faith throughout each semester, including liturgical and sacramental events, nursing home visits and membership to the Nazareth Mini Vinnies conference.
