Religious Education

St John’s Catholic School bears witness to the ideals of the Church as a community committed to the Catholic Faith – a community centred on the Eucharist in which Christian principles are encouraged and practiced.

Our School, which has taken as its motto ‘Love one another as I have loved you’ creates an atmosphere where each student can come to know Christ as a real person. The School supplements the primary faith educators – parents – in their children’s knowledge and appreciation of faith. Positive interaction between the School and parents is considered essential.

Whole school prayer and daily class prayer times are important in the life of the School.

Good News for Living, the Archdiocesan Religious Education guideline, is the core document teachers at St John’s Catholic School use to develop their own understanding of their faith and pass this onto the students in their care. Unit outlines, aligned with the Australian Curriculum, are used and developed to suit students’ needs.
