Year 7 and 8 Christian Education:

The students have been watching The Life of Jesus which is a film that recounts the Gospel of John with the narration of the Good News Bible.  After each chapter students have been going through focus questions in small groups and sharing their thoughts to the class. We have been encouraging students to read the two chapters of the Gospel of John that are being covered each week in class at home.

Year 9 Christian Education:

The students have re-commenced 'The Rite Journey' this term focusing on the topic of identity and how to get along with others. The Rite Journey program is a year of maturing students into upper secondary as they transition into young adults.

Year 10 Christian Education:

The students have been learning about various world religions this term and comparing them to Christianity. So far we have covered Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism, Islam and Judaism. Students compare the differences and similarities between one religion and Christianity each lesson. This promotes deeper thinking of Christianity and shines it in a unique and positive light.

Year 11 Christian Education:

The students are learning about ethical issues from a Christian world view this term. They have learnt about ethical issues such as human rights, abortion, cloning, environmental impact, the sanctity of life, war and euthanasia. The students have now chosen an ethical issue and are completing a research assignment. They will present their information to the class on their chosen ethical issue.

Year 12 Christian Education:

The students are looking at forgiveness as the key theme for this term. They are exploring what the Bible teaches about forgiveness and how Jesus plays the central role in forgiveness. They are also looking into topics such as revenge, resentment, comparison and unconditional love.
