Religious Education
St Patrick's is a community inspired by Catholic faith and tradition in today’s world.
As a Catholic School, Religious Education at St Patrick's is an overarching Domain.
Religious Education is inspired by the message and person of Jesus Christ, and committed to the physical, intellectual, social and spiritual development of each person.
As a Catholic Parish Primary School, St. Patrick's responds to its mission of teaching the message of and about the person of Jesus Christ, through offering a particular cultural experience that is grounded in a Christian view of the world, of culture and of history. At the heart of the culture of our school is an explicit commitment to the promotion of each person in all their dimensions, capacities and relationships.
Religious Education recognises the essential educational partnership of home, school, parish leaders and our diocese and is planned and taught in an exciting, engaging, relevant and integrated manner that is connected to the total curriculum. The Religious Education curriculum “Awakenings”, used throughout the Diocese of Ballarat, forms the basis of our curriculum framework.
Religious Education recognises that any educational process is unique to each person and involves a relationship with self, others, culture, environment and God.
Religious Education is an integral aspect of our school’s role of evangelisation. It permeates all aspects of school life including relationships, structures and policies, pastoral care, sacraments, liturgies celebrations and routines, as well as our formal curriculum.
Religious Education draws its foundations from Scripture, Tradition and the living faith experience of the Christian community. It is a living faith; believed, shared, celebrated and passed on.
Religious Education sets out to inform, form and transform learners and teachers. It provides rich, nurturing experiences for children based on: love, trust, wonder, reassurance, belonging, gratitude, a growing sense of responsibility and commitment – all of these which set the foundations for lifelong religious learning, promoting justice, reconciliation and environmental responsibility.
Religious Education promotes values such as compassion, inclusiveness, tolerance, justice and reconciliation. We recognise and value other faith traditions to whom we extend, and involve in, our Religious Education curriculum.
