The Vision of Religious Education

The schools and colleges of the Diocese of Brisbane aspire to educate and form students who are challenged to live the gospel of Jesus Christ and who are literate in the Catholic and broader Christian tradition so that they might participate critically and authentically in faith contexts and wider society.

Religious Education seeks to develop students' religious literacy in light of the Catholic Christian tradition so that they might participate critically and authentically in contemporary culture. Students become religiously literate as they develop the knowledge, skills and dispositions to interpret and use language confidently in and for faith contexts and the wider society.

Religious Education in the classroom is approached with the same educational methodology as any other Key Learning Area within the school's curriculum.

Teachers use a Religious Education programme developed by the Diocese of Brisbane and collaboratively plan and teach Religious Education lessons using a variety of engaging and practical strategies, many of which are also used in other learning areas; they assess the content and skills that have been taught; and report regularly to parents.
