LIFE AND FAITH

Life and Faith is a core learning area which invites students into a personal search for meaning and an exploration of the ultimate questions facing human beings, asked from the point of view of religious faith. Students will engage imaginatively, respectfully and critically with the major world religions, spiritual traditions, philosophies and worldviews, with particular emphasis on Christianity and the rich traditions and teachings of the Catholic faith.

This course focuses on the teachings and example of Jesus Christ and the Church as outlined in the Good News for Living curriculum (2005) via eight integrated theological elements: God, Jesus, Church, Scripture, Sacraments, Prayer, Christian Life, and Religion and Society.

Students’ understanding will be further developed in the units of Prayer, Christian Ecology, Comparative Study: Buddhism, Philosophy and Ethics, and Servant Leadership. Assessment tasks include essays, research tasks, creative responses, oral presentations, reflective writing, analysing texts (including Scripture), as well as exams.
