RELIGIOUS EDUCATION
Religious Education in our Catholic schools and colleges develops students’ knowledge and understandings of Christianity in the light of Jesus and the Gospel, and its unfolding story and diversity within contemporary Australian and global society. It expands students’ spiritual awareness and religious identity, fostering their capacities and skills of discerning, interpreting, thinking critically, seeking truth and making meaning. It challenges and inspires their service to others and engagement in the Church and the world.
Our school Religious Education Syllabus
Our school Religious Education Syllabus is a P-12 document produced within this diocese. The program incorporates knowledge of the history and traditions of the Catholic Church while providing opportunities for individuals to develop an appreciation of religious traditions of other Christian and non-Christian faiths and cultures. The program promotes the formation and development of each individual as a whole person and fosters a process of growing together in living, loving and learning.
Parents and community members are always welcome to attend whole school assemblies, liturgies and masses. All parents are welcome at any time to ask questions about the Religious Education of their children.
Sacrament Preparation Programs are family based and are coordinated by the Parish of Rockhampton South. The team provides for the need of formation for parents, with parents being able to turn to other members of the faith community for advice and assistance without handing over to them their role as chief educator of their children in the faith. Resource materials and information evenings are provided for families throughout the year.
St Paul’s Church celebrates Mass every Sunday at 8am. Families are most welcome to attend.
