Religious Education
2018 Major Focus: Religious Education - Growth in Knowledge (Primary)
At St Joseph’s School, Pleasant Point we take seriously the, “opportunity to participate in the mission of Jesus by sharing his Good News with the children and young people in our care and their families in our community and accept the responsibility and challenge of imparting particular knowledge and creating an environment and opportunities for children to engage personally with learning which will develop in a life-long relationship with Jesus/God and the Church.” (p. 3, REBD) During 2018 we will review our commitment to ensuring that our Religious Education programmes, “enable children to understand and appreciate how people live, pray and celebrate [in the Catholic tradition] and how they can respond freely to God according to the gift of faith.” (p.11, REBD)
