The Religion Curriculum P-12 involves four strands: Sacred Texts, Beliefs, Church
and Christian Life. These strands are interrelated and are taught in an integrated
way, and in ways that are appropriate to specific local contexts.
In Prep, students learn about some Old Testament and New Testament stories that
tell of a God of love, the creator of all, the goodness of Gods creation, Gods special
relationship with all of creation and Gods plan that people help each other to live
safely and happily together, for the good of all.
Students listen to, read and view stories of and about Jesus in the Gospels that tell
of Jesus life as a Jew, his mother Mary, his friends and family; of Jesus praying and
teaching others to pray; of his teachings about love, compassion and forgiveness
that challenged people about the way they were living; and of his suffering, death
and resurrection. They learn that Christians believe God created people with the
freedom to choose between good and bad, right and wrong. They explore examples
of times, from familiar texts and their personal experience, when people make
these choices.
Students understand that prayer helps believers follow the teachings of Jesus; to
live according to Gods plan. They learn about ways in which believers pray, either
alone or with others, including the Sign of the Cross and Amen. They observe ways
in which believers pray together during special celebrations and rituals that mark
important times in the life of believers and in the Church year. They learn about the
Church building as a sacred place for believers and the Bible as a sacred book for
believers.

The Religion Curriculum P-12 involves four strands: Sacred Texts, Beliefs, Church and
Christian Life. These strands are interrelated and are taught in an integrated way, and
in ways that are appropriate to specific local contexts.
In Year 1, students explore the Christian teaching that all people are created in Gods
own image, with dignity and natural rights. They learn about living in accordance with
Gods plan for all creation: living safely and happily in community and in loving
relationship with God, with a responsibility to care for all creation and using Gods gift
of freedom to make choices responsibly. They engage with a variety of Old Testament
texts to learn about Gods presence in the lives of individuals and communities and
make connections to their own experiences. They explore the words, actions and
symbols used in the Sacraments of Baptism and Eucharist to communicate Gods
presence and action. They learn about the different roles in the local parish
community.
Students learn about the nature of Jesus mission and ministry. They explore aspects
of Jewish daily life at the time of Jesus. They listen to, view and read accounts from
different Gospels of key events, places and characters in the life of Jesus and explore
similarities and differences in these accounts. They explore the many ways in which
Mary, Mother of Jesus, is honoured by Christians past and present and develop their
understanding of the Hail Mary, a Catholic prayer honouring Mary. Students
understand that prayer was an important part of Jesus life and is important in the
lives of believers. They continue to learn about ways in which believers pray, either
alone or with others.

The Religion Curriculum P-12 involves four strands: Sacred Texts, Beliefs, Church and
Christian Life. These strands are interrelated and are taught in an integrated way, and
in ways that are appropriate to specific local contexts.
In Year 2, students learn about aspects of Gods nature and Gods relationship with
people, as they engage with a variety of New Testament texts depicting the teachings
and actions of Jesus and Old Testament texts that describe Gods relationship with
the Jewish people. They explore contextual information about the first century
Mediterranean world, to better appreciate the life and times of Jesus. They learn
about Jesus mission and ministry and explore ways in which Jesus teachings and
actions continue to guide the life of the Church community today. They explore,
recognise and appreciate the history of a parish community as it is revealed in many
ways.
Students learn about the sacredness of all creation, especially human life; the call to
be co-creators and stewards of Gods creation; and the responsibility to pursue peace
and justice out of respect for human life and all creation. They develop their
understanding of the loving relationship God unconditionally offers to people; and
their understanding of sin, as evident in the free choices that harm the individual and
their loving relationships with God, with others and with all creation. They explore
ways in which believers seek to heal these relationships through reconciliation and
prayer. They investigate ways in which believers celebrate reconciliation with God
and with others in the Sacrament of Penance.
Students examine ways in which prayer and the wisdom of the saints help believers
to nurture their loving relationships with God, with others and with all creation. They
develop their understanding of prayer in the Christian tradition through an
exploration of prayer for forgiveness (acts of contrition and Penitential Act) and
meditative prayer.

The Religion Curriculum P-12 involves four strands: Sacred Texts, Beliefs, Church and
Christian Life. These strands are interrelated and should be taught in an integrated
way; and in ways that are appropriate to specific local contexts.
In Year 6, students are introduced to the Christian understanding of faith and the
term communion of saints. They develop their understanding of the many ways in
which faith is lived out and celebrated in the lives of believers past and present. They
learn about the contexts and key messages of some Old Testament prophets and the
contribution of some key people (laity, religious and clergy) to the shaping of the
Church in Australia (c. 1900 CE to present). They understand the significance of Jesus
New Law for the way believers live their faith, including an exploration of the spiritual
and corporal works of mercy. They develop their understanding of the role of
celebrations in the faith life of believers, including the commemoration of High Holy
Days by Jewish believers and the Churchs liturgical celebrations (including the
Eucharist). They develop their understanding of prayer in the Christian tradition
through an exploration of the Our Father, The Examen, and spiritual exercises
including prayer journaling.
They are introduced to the Church teaching that the Holy Spirit guided the formation
of the New Testament. Using a range of biblical tools, they engage with a variety of
Scriptural texts that describe Jesus relationship with God the Father and with
humanity, and proclaim Jesus as fulfilling all of Gods promises in the Old Testament.
