- Religious Education aims to provoke challenging questions about the meaning and purpose of life, beliefs about God and issues of right and wrong.
- It develops students understanding of Christianity and other religions.
- It challenges students to reflect on, consider, analyse, interpret and evaluate issues of faith and ethics.
- It is our hope that students become religiously literate young women who have the knowledge, understanding and skills to think spiritually, ethically and theologically and to be aware of the demands of religious commitment in today’s world.
- Please see the attachment at the bottom of the page for the Religious Education Learning Journey Learning Journey Map for 2021-22.
