Religious Education Units

UNIT ONE: Preferential option for the poor: What is justice for the poor? By the end of this unit, students will have explored the idea that some choices result in a more just and compassionate world; identified how acting fairly is an important way to show God’s love; considered Jesus’ teaching on the poor; and investigated the work of Caritas Australia related to this Catholic Social Teaching principle
(Direct quote from Caritas Australia website)


UNIT TWO: Anticipating..   Strand: Scripture, Israel and Jesus Scripture is the living voice of God that speaks through a variety of literary forms that convey the original author’s intention at the time. Differentiate the style and author’s purpose from among a selection of literary forms contained in Scripture, speaking to their lives and their world   
​                  
Strand: Christian Ethics - Personal and SociaL Through discipleship, Christians seek to grow in holiness, making loving choices that reflect the dignity of self, others and all of creation. Discern the role of conscience in developing and maintaining right relationships, where decisions are motivated by God’s love for all and a call to holiness.
